This footstool is part of the ``Maximum'' series from Maruni Woodwork, one of Japan's leading luxury furniture manufacturers. This series is the culmination of Marni's craftsmanship, and is a masterpiece that sublimates the tradition of European classic furniture with precision Japanese woodworking techniques.

The most distinctive feature is the beautiful sculptural beauty of the gracefully curved cat legs. The three-dimensional carvings of acanthus leaves and scroll motifs on the legs are hand-carved by skilled craftsmen, creating a perfect balance of delicate and powerful expression.

The seat is made of luxurious Kinkasan woven fabric. A delicate damask pattern is woven with shiny thread, creating a luxurious appearance that changes its appearance depending on the angle. Antique brass studs adorn the edges, further enhancing the classic style. This is a masterpiece unique to Marni, with reliable quality and aesthetic sense.

Recommended usage/applications

In a reception room or study, it can be combined with a leather sofa or armchair to serve as the focal point of an elegant space. It can also be used as an auxiliary chair when guests come to visit, adding a touch of style to the occasion.

In the living room, place it in front of your favorite chair as a footrest. Reading and watching movies will become more luxurious. Marni's furniture focuses on comfort, with just the right amount of cushioning to make it comfortable even for long periods of use.

Perfect as a dressing corner in the bedroom or as a bench in the entrance hall. It surprisingly matches a Japanese-style room, and if you place it in front of an alcove or by a window, you can create a high-quality space that combines Japanese and Western styles. Its appearance like a work of art gives off a presence that elevates the space even when not in use.

Interior coordination plan

In the classic luxury style, when combined with a dark brown leather sofa and chesterfield and mahogany wood side tables, you can create a space that resembles a stately and dignified gentleman's study. With Persian rugs, antique lighting fixtures, and bookshelves lined with leather-bound foreign books, you can create an atmosphere that resembles the library of a European mansion. By adding accessories such as a cigar box or decanter, you can create a special space where adults can spend luxurious time.

With Japanese modern style, you can create a high-quality space that combines Japanese elements with Western aesthetics. By combining traditional fittings such as shoji and lattice doors with tatami mats and solid wood floors, Maruni Woodwork's unique Japanese-Western aesthetics stand out. By adding ink or indigo fabrics, a single flower vase in a ceramic vase, and andon-style lighting, you can create a sophisticated modern Japanese-style room that perfectly harmonizes Japanese aesthetics with European classic style.
