30 Inch Distressed Vegan Leather, Tufted Coffee Table Ottoman

A Legacy Reimagined for Modern Living

Design 59 Furniture was established in 2015 as the next chapter of a 59-year-old furniture manufacturer rooted in traditional American craftsmanship. What began as a rebrand became a continuation of something more meaningful: the belief that furniture should still be made with patience, skill, and permanence.

Our ottomans and upholstered pieces are crafted in the heirloom way — shaped by hand, built with intention, and finished with details that honor the quiet beauty of well-made furniture.

Since 2015 • Built on 59 Years of Furniture Heritage • Bench-Made Craftsmanship

Built from the Details Up

As Charles Eames once said, The details are not the details. They make the design.

At Design 59, that philosophy remains at the heart of everything we make — preserving the integrity of time-honored methods while creating pieces designed to live beautifully in today’s homes.

Every material is chosen with intention. From solid maple legs and oak or maple frame components to precision-cut CNC frames, our pieces are built for consistency, structure, and lasting support. We pair traditional upholstery craftsmanship with quality vegan leather covers selected for their rich look, soft hand, and everyday livability.

The result is furniture that feels considered from the inside out — not just styled for the room, but built with the kind of care that gives a piece weight, presence, and permanence. Each detail exists for a reason: the frame, the cover, the tufting, the trim, the legs, and the final finish all work together to create furniture that feels grounded, polished, and made to be kept.

What Is Hand Tufting?

Hand tufting is a traditional upholstery method where each tuft is individually placed, pulled, and secured by hand — one at a time. Unlike a sewn surface pattern, true hand tufting creates real depth, structure, and dimension in the ottoman itself.

At Design 59, each ottoman is bench-made by skilled upholsterers who understand tension, spacing, and proportion. The result is a richer, more sculpted finish with subtle variation that reflects real craftsmanship.

Few online furniture brands produce hand-tufted ottomans at meaningful volume. Design 59 continues this heirloom method in High Point, North Carolina, creating ottomans with warmth, structure, and lasting character.
