About this product
The Bulada (snake) ottoman is a modular product designed to create dynamic seating configurations in common areas and libraries.
This is the Straight ottoman that seats 3-4 primary school students.
Pair this module with the complementary Small ottoman and Large ottoman to create organic, snake-like shapes that stimulate students’ minds.
The seat is made of dense foam with an Australian-made, 90 percent wool removable cover. For ease of maintenance the covers can be removed and swapped out for dry-cleaning. After several years of wear and tear the covers can be replaced to keep the product looking like new.
The upholstery features an accent colour: Yarra (eucalyptus) for the Straight ottoman, Burra (sky) for the Small ottoman, and Gili (flame) for the Large ottoman. The mix of colours adds to the playful vibe of the sofa.
Bulada translates to snake, and the word originates from the Dharug Aboriginal language in Sydney.

We recognise that the long-term durability of Koskela’s furniture is a critical success factor for your project. Throughout Koskela’s 7-year Warranty, if you do require assistance or maintenance, reach out to us and we can visit site and perform a Maintenance Service.
During the visit, our skilled Maintenance team will ensure you are happy with the installation. If any structural defects become apparent during a Maintenance visit, the team will rectify the issue on the spot, or lodge a job and organise its repair within 30 days.
We will create a Maintenance report for you, which itemises your Koskela furniture and makes recommendations for refurbishments that occur due to wear and tear. Ongoing maintenance will improve and extend the quality use of your furniture.
At the core of Koskela’s enviro conscious policy is our commitment to make high-quality products that last for years and can be repaired if something goes wrong. Our products are designed to be the highest standards of quality and functionality. While we believe our furniture will last as long as possible, if something does go wrong, we are here to help.
All Koskela products are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship under conditions of normal and proper usage for 7 years from the date of purchase—this warranty transfers to whoever owns the product. After this time, if something does go wrong, you can contact Koskela customer service and we’ll let you know if we can fix it for a reasonable cost.
