€ 3.190

The structure of the Leplì pouf is in birch plywood and poplar with uprights in solid beech and infill in kraftliner. In the version with storage compartment, the side shells are in moulded rigid polyurethane, the metal parts of the opening mechanism and the zips are in nickel-plated steel and zamak, and the lid is in birch plywood. The base is in poplar plywood with a scratch-resistant black lacquered MDF bottom. The seat is padded with polyurethane foam and polyester wadding (the model with storage compartment has polyurethane foam padding for the structure and lid). The Leplì poufs can be upholstered in Pelle Frau® leather or fabric with an ornamental leather band. When the upholstery is in leather the ornamental band is always the same colour as the pouf. In the leather version four folds originate from the central button of the seat to define the profile of the pouf. In the fabric version the folds are replaced by stitching.

Concept and Design

Leplì is a stool, bench and pouf. Kensaku Oshiro designs four versatile pieces with a strong identity. The designer draws on traditional Poltrona Frau processes and decorations, combining them with sartorial details borrowed from the world of fashion. Classic stitching and soft folds bring out the sinuous simplicity of the design. The voluptuous curves of the stool, in particular, are inspired by the female form and, like in a dress, a slender belt highlights her “waist”.

The Leplì ottoman by Poltrona Frau, in the 121 x 45 cm version, is a furnishing accessory that interprets versatility with great elegance. Designed by Kensaku Oshiro, it combines a soft, tailored profile with an elongated shape that makes it particularly suitable for many different uses, from the bedroom to the living room and hospitality spaces. It is the kind of piece that manages to be decorative and functional at the same time, offering a refined presence that is never intrusive.

 

Because of its proportions and structure, it is particularly suitable for people looking for a multifunctional element to place at the foot of the bed, in a walk-in closet, or in a primary bedroom. In these settings, it can function as an auxiliary seat, a surface for clothing and accessories, or an element that makes the room feel more complete and welcoming. Its elongated shape makes it especially natural near the bed or inside a dressing room, where the aesthetic quality of the piece needs to coexist with practical usefulness in everyday routines.

 

The option of choosing it in a storage version makes it particularly interesting for people who want more order without visually weighing down the space. In the bedroom, it can hold throws, cushions, small textiles, or accessories; in a living room, it can help store everyday items; in a suite or hospitality space, it can provide discreet but valuable functionality. This makes it a very compelling solution for those who appreciate furnishings capable of maintaining visual cleanliness and comfort without sacrificing strong stylistic coherence.

 

The Leplì 121 x 45 ottoman is also very suitable for elegant entrances and transitional areas where a soft, refined seat is needed. In a residential foyer, a wide hallway, at the entrance to a bedroom, or in a transition zone between spaces, it can provide a useful resting point while at the same time enhancing the overall quality of the interior design. It is an ideal choice for those who do not want transitional spaces to feel anonymous, but instead want to furnish them with measured pieces that are attractive to look at and genuinely useful.

 

In a contemporary living room, it can become an excellent solution for people who want informal additional seating without resorting to small armchairs or more rigid elements. Placed in front of a sofa, beside a side table, or as part of a lounge composition, it helps make the living area more fluid, convivial, and flexible. Its elongated shape encourages spontaneous and versatile use: it can be used for sitting, placing objects, or simply introducing a soft visual element that makes the space feel more welcoming.

 

The tailored details of the design, such as the decorative band, folds, or stitching depending on the upholstery, make it particularly suitable for people who appreciate interiors carefully curated in terms of materials and finishes. In leather, it reinforces a sense of understated and structured luxury; in fabric, it can express a warmer, more domestic softness. In both cases, the Leplì ottoman retains a strong identity and works well with upholstered beds, rugs, consoles, armchairs, custom cabinetry, and textured surfaces.

 

It is also an ideal choice for suites, boutique hotels, private lounges, and high-end hospitality environments, where a furnishing element of this kind can perform several functions at the same time: seating, support surface, decorative element, and, in the storage version, organizational support. In these settings, it helps create spaces that feel more welcoming and complete, capable of conveying attention to comfort and detail without relying on showy solutions.

 

The Leplì 121 x 45 ottoman may especially appeal to people looking for a versatile piece suitable for both large spaces and more compact environments. Precisely because it is elongated without being excessively bulky, it can fit well even in rooms that require intelligent flexibility: a well-designed urban bedroom, a small sophisticated living room, a study with a waiting area, a vanity room, or a suite with multiple needs. It is a solution that adds comfort and usefulness without weighing down the overall composition.

 

The Leplì ottoman by Poltrona Frau, in the 121 x 45 cm version, is therefore an ideal choice for elegant primary bedrooms, walk-in closets and the foot of the bed, refined entrances, flexible contemporary living rooms, high-end suites, and all those environments where a well-designed furnishing accessory can provide seating, support, organization, and visual quality in a single gesture.
