A patchwork of floral artistry brings Rajasthani elegance to this upholstered ottoman from India's Ganpat Mehta. Underscored by shades of blue, recycled swaths of fabric are diligently embroidered by women artisans in Rajasthan. Beads and sequins accent the upholstery. Featuring sturdy iron rivets, the footstool stands on acacia wood legs, which are removable.

Recycled materials will vary, so please expect variations in patterns and color placement.

Peru's Rios Family artisans are proud to offer this example of their remarkable leather work. Made of mohena wood and richly hand-tooled leather with a grape and bird motif and brass studs, its design is inspired by intricate saddlework of the colonial era.

Women working in textile studios in Rajasthan embroider and hand-bead the vintage fabric that adorns this colorful footstool, designed by Ganpat Mehta. Removable acacia wood legs make it easy to store, but a piece this versatile is likely to always find a use. Try it as a footstool, low table, or even extra seating at a party. Each footstool uses upcycled textiles in blue-green tones, but the unique materials ensure that no two designs will be exactly alike.
