Stack and build
Configured as a low console here, STACKED can grow to a unit of 2, 3, 4 or even 5. The design was inspired by the mobile, sturdy and versatile 19th-century campaign furniture made for travel and expeditions.
Leather details
These artisan made belts aren't just a decorative detail. They strap the units into place or keep an optional cushion fastened. Ours were crafted in Braga, Portugal.
Sizing
A generous 48" length makes this comfortable seating for two. An optional cushion adds 2" of height.
