The Base Cube Ottoman is a compact, square upholstered ottoman designed for classrooms, libraries and collaborative learning spaces. Available in three heights to suit different age groups and tables, it can be pulled into a group quickly or tucked under a table or against a wall when not in use. Its recycled polypropylene buffer feet and simple form make it a practical, lightweight seating option for busy school environments.
The Base Cube Ottoman is the most compact and portable product in the Base Modular Range. Its square 400 mm footprint and lightweight construction make it easy for students and teachers to move quickly, whether pulling one into a group for a collaborative task or clearing space by tucking it under a table or against a wall. This flexibility makes it well suited to classrooms, libraries and breakout areas where layouts change regularly throughout the day.
Three height options, 360 mm, 410 mm and 460 mm, correspond to different age groups and allow the ottoman to be matched to compatible Furnware tables across the school. The high-quality, high-density foam seat provides comfortable support during group work and informal learning activities, while upholstery options in vinyl, textile and the Ako fabric range allow schools to coordinate colour and finish across learning spaces.
The Base Cube Ottoman sits on black buffer feet made from recycled polypropylene, which help protect floor surfaces and keep the product stable during use. As part of the wider Base Modular Range, it works alongside other Base collection pieces to support flexible, practical learning environments.

The Base Cube Ottoman supports flexible, student-centred learning environments by giving teachers and students a seating option that can be moved and reconfigured quickly to suit different tasks. Its compact footprint means it takes up minimal space when not in use, helping keep classrooms and shared spaces clear and organised.
The ability to tuck the ottoman under a table or against a wall supports easy transitions between different teaching and learning activities, reducing the time and effort needed to set up and clear away collaborative group arrangements. Upholstery in vinyl and textile options supports practical classroom hygiene, and the recycled polypropylene buffer feet help protect floor surfaces during regular movement.
