Studio Skogsö Finds New Character in the Classic Ottoman

A small piece of furniture can change the character of an entire room. This idea sits at the heart of Pebble and Nest, the first furniture collection from Stockholm based interior studio Studio Skogsö. Designed by founder Ellinor Brenninkmeijer, the two ottomans revisit a familiar form through sculptural silhouettes, expressive textiles and a playful approach to colour and pattern. Born in Sweden and raised in London, Brenninkmeijer draws on both British and Scandinavian interiors. Her work brings together the British affection for colour, pattern and textiles with a more pared back Scandinavian approach to form and function. Antiques and vintage finds sit alongside contemporary design, often in unexpected combinations that give a room its individual character.

The same sensibility informs Pebble and Nest. Pebble has a soft, rounded silhouette and an upholstered body set on decorative solid wood ball feet. Nest takes a lighter, more elevated form, with four upholstered legs and a generously padded top. Both are designed to serve as footstools, additional seating or decorative accents. Textiles play a central role in the collection, allowing each piece to take on a different character. Customers can choose from Studio Skogsö’s curated selection of fabrics from international textile houses or supply their own, with possibilities ranging from graphic patterns and bold colour combinations to more understated textures. Made to order in Stockholm in collaboration with local carpenters and upholsterers, each ottoman is individually produced and upholstered. With Pebble and Nest, Studio Skogsö extends its approach to interiors into furniture design, making a case for the smaller pieces that can give a room its personality.
