The Base Round Ottoman is a popular choice for schools looking for versatile, easy-to-use informal seating across a variety of learning and social spaces. Its compact circular form makes it simple to arrange in groups around tables, position individually for reading or quiet tasks, or move aside when floor space is needed for other activities.
Three height options allow schools to match the ottoman to the intended age group, from middle primary through to secondary and tertiary settings. The high-density foam seat supports comfortable sitting during group work, informal learning and social interaction throughout the school day.
Fabric selections include a Wise Wool inner layer, made from 100% New Zealand wool. Wise Wool is naturally breathable and flame-resistant, offering a sustainable alternative to synthetic fibres in the seat construction. Vinyl selections provide a practical, easy-clean option for high-use environments. Black buffer feet made from recycled polypropylene provide stable, floor-friendly support across a range of surfaces.
