Designed by Jonathan Muecke for Knoll, the Muecke Ottoman is a natural extension of a collection that makes wood a language in its own right, revealing its constructive logic with transparency and honesty that command respect. Faithful to the approach that drives the entire range, its rounded trunnions intersect on neighboring planes and fit together where they meet, repeating with absolute coherence this system of distinctive junctions that is the visual and intellectual signature of the entire Muecke Wood collection. In its ebony black finish associated with the black Ducale velvet, it unfolds the same chromatic depth as the armchair to which it naturally associates, composing together a space of relaxation of a total formal and material coherence. Versatile by nature, it accommodates both the feet and the whole body, moving with equal ease from the role of footstool to that of booster bench according to the needs of the moment and the configuration of the space. Its solid wood construction gives it a silent solidity that can be read in the precision of each detail without ever imposing itself as a demonstration. An object that one understands immediately and that one continues to look long after, as Muecke himself invites him to do with wood.
