Brief History of the Bourne Ottoman

The Bourne ottoman can typically be found in grand stately homes as statement piece furniture or a focal point in many drawing room and reception interiors. It is also seen as a type of public seating, often featured in a hotel lobby, art gallery and high-end retail stores such as jewellers and fashion stores. It has been suggested that this style of ottoman also played a significant role in Victorian courting rituals, allowing couples to sit next to each other without sitting ‘next’ to each other. This multi-sectional seat is also recognised as a forerunner to today’s sectional sofas.

New Product Insight

Shackletons have developed three different styles of Bourne Ottoman which have been added to the contract furniture range. There are three very different designs which will suit a range of senior living and care home environments. Ranging from a sleek contemporary style, through to a versatile ‘hybrid’ design and an elegant traditional piece. Each design can be specified for different areas giving designers the opportunity to select a statement piece whatever their style.

Senior Living Interiors

Lobbies and reception areas are great places for residents to relax and watch the world go by. Residents can enjoy a little fresh air and take in their surroundings from this ideal vantage point. Position under a feature ceiling light for added drama and accentuate the piece with a clever flooring design.

Corridor intersections are a great opportunity to enhance a large open area. Adding a circular ottoman to a corridor crossroad section can give residents an ideal resting place. Add a statement vase or plant to the centre section to complete the look.

Positioned in a waiting area in a hair salon or spa waiting area, a Bourne Ottoman will add a touch of glamour and sense of occasion and anticipation to a visit to a spa or salon.
