The Ottoman can be traced back to the Ottoman Empire of the 1700s where it originally featured as a central piece of residential seating comprising a low wooden platform topped with cushions.
Named after its place of origin, the Ottoman was eventually brought to Europe in the late 18th Century where it evolved over 200 years as a result of the reinterpretation of changing fashion by Europe’s craftsmen not least English furniture makers.
