Replica Grant Featherston Contour Ottoman
Designed in 1951 by Grant Featherston, the R160 Contour ottoman is often considered an icon of Australian furniture design. Characterised by tapered legs and an organic shape, the R160 Contour ottoman is the manifestation of Grant Featherston's fascination with nature and draws inspiration from the Arts & Craft Movement and the minimalism embodied in Bauhaus design. This is a Matt Blatt replica of the original design.

Here at MB, we take our replica products seriously. So seriously in fact, that we’re just as committed to the quality of our replica pieces - including this Replica Grant Featherston Contour Ottoman - as we are to our original designer items. In fact, we’re confident our Replica Grant Featherston Contour Ottoman is the most faithful reproduction you’ll find in the local market – because Blatt’s the way we like it.
How do we do it? Simple. We only use the highest quality materials, we have faithful reproductions exclusively manufactured to our exacting specifications, and we're committed to quality control. That means we don't just want your Replica Grant Featherston Contour Ottoman to look fabulous, we want it to last, so we put it through an intensive quality control process to ensure it'll maintain its gorgeous good looks for the longest time.
In Matt’s mind, only the best will do. Lucky you. That’s why the timber in our Replica Grant Featherston Contour Ottoman is sourced from the USA, Canada and Europe. What's more, we only use first and seconds timber – basically the best cuts from the log – which boasts minimal knots and imperfections to give you the smoothest possible finish.
Then, to ensure it’ll age beautifully and require minimal maintenance (just a quick wipe with a soft cloth from time to time), we coat our timber with Italian-manufactured Sayerlack, the world’s finest timber lacquer which offers the ultimate protection against chipping or fading – and it looks pretty schmick too.
Our Italian fabrics are manufactured by the same company which supplies some of Europe’s premium brands (we’re pretty fussy about our fabrics). Our Castello fabric is crafted from 63% cotton and 37% linen, while Emilio is 100% cotton.
