Magnetic and Magnificent!

That may look like a chair but it isn’t just a chair. The Abrazo chair also features a footrest in its design. Formally known as an Ottoman stool (yes, the Turks gave us footrests…they also gave us Santa Claus!), the stool integrates wonderfully with the chair’s design, fitting snugly into the gap between the chair’s legs.

Adding a little more zing to this little jigsaw piece of furniture are the neodymium magnets near the legs of the chair and the stool. Abrazo is Spanish for Hug, and the magnets reinforce the story when you slide the stool underneath the chair. The two pieces of furniture meet and instantly click together, like long lost friends!
