Leplì Outdoor 39x39 ottoman by Poltrona Frau in taupe braided rope on aluminum frame, Italian luxury design and craftsmanship

Leplì Outdoor | Ottoman 39x39cm

Kensaku Oshiro

The Leplì outdoor pouf collection, designed by Kensaku Oshiro, originates from its successful indoor counterpart. It retains the organic shapes inspired by feminine fashion: a sinuous silhouette cinched by a thin rope braid. In the outdoor version of the Leplì series, Oshiro adds the woven motif that characterises the Sparkler collection of outdoor lamps: polypropylene strings that wrap around the aluminium rod structure and create a unique effect of transparency and lightness. Rising upwards, the hand-made weaving becomes increasingly dense until it becomes solid on the seating surface, which hides the elastic belt springs within. The pouf/stool is available in 3 colour combinations that match the colour of the rope and the structure. Light, comfortable and easy to move, the Leplì Outdoor stool is a passe-partout that interacts with the entire range of Poltrona Frau Boundless Living Outdoor Collections to furnish the lounge area of gardens, terraces, patios, poolside and ship decks with a distinctive identity.

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 Outdoor 39x39 ottoman by Poltrona Frau is designed for those who want to furnish outdoor spaces with the same attention devoted to interiors, but on a more agile and versatile scale. Designed by Kensaku Oshiro, this compact outdoor ottoman combines sculptural form, lightness, and practicality, making it a highly appealing solution for those looking for a piece that is small in size yet capable of giving character to the setting. Its presence is discreet, but the woven design and soft silhouette allow it to stand out elegantly on terraces, patios, verandas, and in small gardens.

 

Thanks to its compact size, the Leplì Outdoor 39x39 is particularly suitable for those furnishing more intimate outdoor spaces, such as a carefully designed balcony, a loggia, an urban veranda, or a small relaxation area by the pool. In these settings, it can be used as extra seating, as a footrest, or as a supporting element within a larger lounge composition. It is ideal for people who want to maximize comfort and style even within a limited footprint, choosing a piece of furniture that does not visually weigh down the space but instead makes it feel more dynamic and welcoming.

 

One of the most interesting aspects of this product is its ease of use. The ottoman is lightweight and easy to move, making it perfect for those who like to reconfigure their outdoor environment depending on the moment: coffee in the sun, an aperitif with guests, a reading break, or an evening outdoors. In this sense, it is a suitable solution for people looking for flexible outdoor furniture that can adapt to everyday life without constraints and without occupying too much space permanently.

 

From a materials perspective, the Leplì Outdoor 39x39 is designed for sophisticated and carefully curated outdoor environments. The powder-coated aluminum structure and hand-woven polypropylene rope combine durability, lightness, and aesthetic quality. The weave becomes denser in the seating area, creating a fuller visual effect while also contributing to comfort together with the elastic webbing support system. This makes it particularly suitable for those who want high-performance materials with a visually warm character, capable of conveying a sense of handcrafted care even outdoors.

 

Stylistically, the ottoman fits particularly well in contemporary, Mediterranean, or naturally luxurious outdoor settings. The finishes and color combinations help create harmonious environments alongside low tables, outdoor sofas, outdoor rugs, lanterns, and woven seating. It is an ideal choice for those who want to add texture and visual softness to an outdoor space while avoiding anonymous or overly technical accessories. Even on its own, the ottoman can become a small distinctive feature that completes the setting with taste.

 

Its compact dimensions also make it highly effective as a versatile accent piece. On a larger terrace, it can be combined with other pieces from the collection to create layered compositions; in a smaller space, it can serve several functions at once, becoming one of the most useful seats in the entire setting. It is therefore particularly suitable for those looking for a compact yet multifunctional outdoor piece capable of offering comfort, practicality, and strong aesthetic consistency.

 

The Leplì Outdoor 39x39 also finds a natural place in professional settings where even small furnishings need to contribute to the quality of the overall experience. In boutique hotels, rooftop bars, spas, beach clubs, yachts, and premium hospitality environments, it can be used as extra seating, an informal support surface, or a decorative detail capable of making an outdoor lounge more welcoming. It is an ideal choice for those who want to create outdoor spaces that are refined, flexible, and immediately hospitable, even when the available area is limited.
