Often underutilised and overlooked, the ottoman rarely receives the recognition it deserves. Incorporating an ottoman into your space not only easy, but a meaningful way to infuse personality.
When adding furniture to your space, there are several factors to consider — room size, existing furnishings, interior style and intended function. Ottomans are no different. Once you have clarity around these elements, the fun of selecting the right ottoman for your space can really begin.
At Arthur G, we champion your creative freedom, allowing you to select any upholstery grade textile or leather on your furniture. While our website showcases a curated selection, our long-standing relationships with leading suppliers can grant you access to the world’s finest textiles and leathers — all crafted on your chosen design and manufactured here in Australia.
Here are some of our best-selling ottoman designs, made here in Melbourne.
Darcy Ottoman in Designs of the Time Mendocino
The Darcy Ottoman - a best seller for good reason.
Our daybed-inspired design, Darcy, offers generous proportions and the perfect canvas for larger-scale prints or statement patterns. Here’s what makes Darcy a best seller.
- Solid American Oak or Victorian Ash Base with eight stain options available
- Fixed Cushion Seat, with removable bolster
- Upholster in your choice of fabric or leather
- Handcrafted in Melbourne
- Ideal as extra seating, a coffee table or statement piece in any space
One of the more iconic pairings is our Darcy Ottoman in Designs of the Time’s Mendocino; a wide tonal stripe, printed on a linen base, which is then stonewashed. The result is entirely individual and one-of-a-kind.
Our Arty Ottoman in Zinc Nutbourne, adds depth and interest to this living space.
Arty, Richy and Argo - designs for even the smallest rooms
For something more compact, our Arty, Richy and Argo Ottomans, offer an ideal solution. This is what makes our Australian made drum ottoman collection, stand out.
- Hidden glides for ease of movement
- Handcrafted in Melbourne
- Select from a wide range of leathers or fabric
- Available in a range of standard and custom sizes

Our Arty ottoman has a clean, saddle stitch finish around the top (making it perfect for prints), while the Richy Ottoman has a more relaxed character with a delicate French seam around the circumference. Argo celebrates the inherent qualities of natural leather, with a cross stitch finish across the seat. Each design is made in Australia, with dimensions that can be customised to suit your needs and space.

Diane Bergeron Ottoman Collection featuring the Babe Bench, Daisy Ottoman and Piper Ottoman.
Diane Bergeron's Ottoman collection explores classic shapes with versatile applications.
If your aesthetic is less contemporary and more classic, consider ottomans from our Diane Bergeron for Arthur G collection – where Diane’s signature style is thoughtfully expressed from concept to the finest finishing details. The collection includes Rita, Babe, Lexi, Margaux, Clara, Daisy and Piper, each available in Diane’s signature prints or upholstered in any fabric from our extensive offering.
Lexi Ottoman in linen with contrast piping.
Often styled as a pair, the Lexi and Margaux Ottomans, make elegant additions to living spaces as either extra seating or in place of a coffee table. Details such as contrast piping and optional fringing highlight the exceptional quality of our Australian made craftsmanship.
Rita Bench in Leopard Print
In the bedroom, the Rita waterfall bench and Babe Ottoman are frequently chosen, for their refined rectangular proportions and generous seating space. Designed to carry patterned fabrics with confidence, each piece can be customised to suit any bed size – ensuring they are as practical as they are beautiful additions to any home.
Far more than a finishing touch, ottomans present an opportunity to introduce confident colour or print – a genuine expression of personality. Just as importantly, their ability to enhance the functionality of a space should never be underestimated. In our opinion, it’s a piece worthy of thoughtful consideration — never simply an afterthought.
