Sit pretty, stash plenty. A stool gives you a seat and a cupboard gives you space, but the Vera Storage Stool gives you both in one soft, rounded piece. Lift the padded lid to store snacks, toys or spare throws, then close it again for a cosy seat or footrest. Its cat-scratch fabric stands up to curious claws, while rounded edges leave no sharp corners to bump into. The olive green shade brings a calm, natural touch to any room. Pick the 40cm stool for a tight corner, the 57cm size for the entryway or the 120cm bench that seats two. Sit on it. Store in it. Choose how much of each.

Most shoe cabinets make you bend down and dig for the right pair, often with your hands already full. The Brielle Shoe Cabinet lets your feet do the work instead. A gentle nudge slides out the bottom tray and keeps your everyday shoes within easy reach. Behind the dotted double doors, adjustable shelves hold more than 20 pairs, from sneakers to tall boots. Two roomy drawers keep keys and wallets close, and the solid oak top shows off your favourite decor. It’s the cabinet that keeps you a step ahead of the clutter.

Every parent knows the line: “Sit properly lah!” Kids rarely listen, and nobody enjoys the nagging. The Esmee Armchair lets your kid sit their way while their back stays looked after. Keep it upright for homework and reading, or lower the backrest to one of five positions for a cartoon marathon. When nap time comes, it unfolds into a single bed about 197cm long. One chair covers sitting, reclining and lying down, so nobody nags and nobody sulks. Their call. Your calm.
