Soft fluted channels run from floor to top across the full 130cm length of the bench, the upholstery equivalent of classical column flutes, breaking the large surface into rhythmic vertical sections that catch and shadow light differently down every line. The fabric itself is a slubby neutral textured weave in soft warm oatmeal — a cotton-blend with subtle tonal variation across the surface that prevents the bench from reading as a single flat colour, no matter the light it sits in.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"section-label\"\u003eWhat sets it apart\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch2 class=\"section-heading\"\u003eThe detail that makes it different\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"section-body\"\u003e\n    The recessed plinth base is the second design move that lifts the Florence above standard upholstered benches — \u003cstrong\u003ea plinth set inside the footprint of the bench creates a fine shadow gap at the floor\u003c\/strong\u003e, making the upholstered form appear to float a few millimetres above the surface. Without this recess the bench would read as a heavy block; with it, the form has lift and the silhouette has proportion. The same quiet design vocabulary as the Devon footstool — channel detail and floating plinth — applied here at the scale of a proper end-of-bed bench. Built around a sturdy plywood frame with high-density foam padding and a polyester-acrylic-cotton mix fabric outer, sized at 130 × 48 × 48 cm — long enough to sit comfortably across the foot of a king or superking bed, generous enough to seat two for shoe-tying and dressing-room use.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"suits-row\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"suits-tag\"\u003eQuiet Luxury\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"suits-tag\"\u003eModern Country\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"suits-tag\"\u003eBelgian Modern\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"suits-tag\"\u003eContemporary\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"suits-tag\"\u003ePastoral\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"suits-tag\"\u003eTransitional\u003c\/span\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"dims\"\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"dims-label\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"dims-grid\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"dim-cell\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dim-key\"\u003eType\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dim-val\"\u003eUpholstered ottoman bench\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"dim-cell\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dim-key\"\u003eUpholstery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dim-val\"\u003eVertical channel tufting\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"dim-cell\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dim-key\"\u003eFabric\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dim-val\"\u003eCotton \/ polyester \/ acrylic mix · slubby weave\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"dim-cell\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dim-key\"\u003eFrame\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dim-val\"\u003ePlywood · high-density foam padding\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"dim-cell\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dim-key\"\u003eBase\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dim-val\"\u003eRecessed plinth · shadow gap\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"dim-cell\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dim-key\"\u003eNet Weight\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dim-val\"\u003e17 kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"dim-cell\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dim-key\"\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dim-val\"\u003eIndoor use\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"dim-cell\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dim-key\"\u003eBest For\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dim-val\"\u003eEnd of bed, hallways, living rooms\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"measurements\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"measure-cell\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"measure-key\"\u003eWidth\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"measure-val\"\u003e130 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"measure-cell\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"measure-key\"\u003eDepth\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"measure-val\"\u003e48 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"measure-cell\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"measure-key\"\u003eHeight\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"measure-val\"\u003e48 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"care-note\"\u003eCare: blot spills immediately, wipe with a damp cloth using water only.
