AS003-ST Leather Footstool

The AS003-ST is a round leather footstool shaped like a drawstring bag — a pleated, gathered body in warm cognac, cinched with corded ties and topped with a padded seat. It is the piece in the room that makes people smile first and sit second: furniture borrowing its form from fashion, finished seriously enough to keep the joke elegant.

Design & Character

The design commits fully to its idea. The leather body falls in soft, deep pleats from the seat to the floor, gathered exactly the way a pouch gathers, with cords threaded through metal eyelets and knotted at the sides. The top is a clean, round cushion that closes the form like a lid. It reads as an object first and a stool second — which is precisely why it works in rooms full of straight lines.

Materials & Finish

The piece is worked in smooth cognac leather, and the construction is the ornament: every pleat is a fold of the material itself, every eyelet functional in appearance, the cords finished with neat knotted ends. The warm tan tone deepens the bag-like character and ties easily to wood, brass, and the rest of the leather family in a room.

A Footrest with Personality

By function it is simple: a footstool by the relaxing chair, an extra perch when the sofa fills up, a soft stop at the foot of the bed or beside the dressing table. By presence it does more — in a child's-free corner of a formal living room it loosens the mood; in a bedroom it adds softness without another cushion. Light and low, it moves wherever the evening goes.

Styling & Pairing

The AS003-ST pairs naturally with its own material family — a tan leather stool, a dark leather bergère — and plays best against structure: beside a marble or metal center table, its softness registers fully. Keep it near seating rather than in open floor, and let it be the single playful note in the arrangement; one is a wink, several is a theme.

Why This Piece

Every considered interior needs one object that isn't solemn. This footstool carries the room's sense of humor while doing honest daily work underfoot. It suits homes that take design seriously enough to relax about it — and the pleating is exactly the kind of detail to see and press by hand at a showroom before deciding.
