Introducing the Portofino Medium Footstool by Melaaura, a woven outdoor form that redefines what a footstool can ask of a terrace.

Each piece is built from continuous lengths of 8mm synthetic cord, hand-wound over a powder-coated aluminium frame in a dense, interlocking weave that gives the surface its distinctive sculptural texture. The name draws from the Italian Riviera town synonymous with effortless beauty and the kind of outdoor living that feels both considered and completely at ease.

The finish is a warm greige, matte in its depth, sun-resistant in its composition, and entirely at home in the open air without ever reading as utilitarian. The braided crown edge that frames the top surface adds a fine artisanal detail that rewards close attention.

The Portofino footstool works beside a lounge chair as a dedicated resting place, pulled forward as an impromptu seat, or grouped in pairs to anchor a larger outdoor composition.

It is not merely a place to rest your feet. It is an argument, made quietly in wicker and aluminium, that beauty and function outside are not a compromise but a choice.

Available in Sage Green Weave, Black Weave, Natural Honey Teak, Ivory Weave, Dark Brown Weave, and Taupe Weave.
