An essential bedroom element to be combined with consoles. The feet recall the iconic Stiletto heel.
The defining design move: a tapered aluminium frame in Satin Grey varnished matt finish — narrows from a wider seat top down to compact feet. Different geometry from the rest of the Stiletto family's heel-curve silhouette; the stool reads as an architectural taper rather than a curving form.
Seat structure in wood, padded with polyurethane and Fiberfill. The brand's framing: "Stiletto ottoman-stool by Versace Home, along with the whole namesake line of interior furnishings, is a tribute to the iconic Stiletto heel." Square seat 52 × 52 — sized as a single-sitter accent piece.
55 cm overall height places the seat at high-stool register — taller than typical lounge ottoman (which sits ~40-45 cm) but lower than counter-stool height (~65-70 cm). Sized for occasional use beside a console, vanity, or as accent seating in a hallway. The taller register also makes it easier to stand up from than a low ottoman.
Non-removable cover in fabric or leather. The compact 52 × 52 cm seat surface lets bolder upholstery choices (graphic prints, vivid leather colours) read without overwhelming the room — the small format reads as accent, not anchor. Pair the stool's cover with a larger Stiletto piece (sofa, armchair) for register coordination.
Part of the 2023 Stiletto family extension presented at Salone del Mobile. The ottoman-stool joined the existing Stiletto sofa, armchair, and Low at Salone 2023 alongside the bergère, the leather-top table extension, and the Discovery chair. All Stiletto pieces share the matt Satin Grey aluminium hardware register; the ottoman-stool's tapered frame is the family's most architectural geometry.
Detail of the family's most architectural piece — the aluminium frame tapers from the square 52 × 52 seat down to compact feet. Different vocabulary from the heel-curve sofa and armchair siblings; reads as the rationalist piece in the family. Pair as accent seating against a Stiletto sofa or armchair to add geometric variety to a Stiletto-furnished room.
One published size. Square footprint 52 × 52, seat at 55 cm overall height — high-stool register. Sized as an accent piece beside a console, vanity desk, or as occasional seating in entryway. The compact format pairs visually with the bench (id 431) and ottoman (id 433) as a three-scale upholstered family.

The licensed manufacturer's editorial of 20 April 2023 names the tapered stool specifically: "Stiletto now extends to include a table, with new top covered in leather, a tapered stool and the bergère armchair paired with a footrest." Salone del Mobile ran 18–23 April 2023; this stool was part of the family extension at that fair.
Different proportions for different uses. The bench (154 × 56 × 47 H) is long, low, rectangular — foot-of-bed or entryway register. The ottoman (id 433) is intermediate scale — typical footrest beside a chair. This ottoman-stool is 52 × 52 × 55 H — square footprint, taller stool register at 55 cm. Sized as accent seating beside a console, vanity, or in an entryway; not a footrest (the height is wrong for that). The three pieces give the family three different upholstered formats.
Because the aluminium frame tapers — narrows from the wider 52 × 52 seat top down to compact feet. The silhouette is the design feature; the brand's launch press from April 2023 calls it specifically "a tapered stool" rather than a generic ottoman. The taper is what distinguishes this piece from the rest of the Stiletto family's heel-curve geometry — the stool is the family's most architectural, most rationalist piece.
Roberto Palomba and Ludovica Serafini (Palomba Serafini Associati, ps+a studio), under the creative direction of Donatella Versace. The licensed manufacturer's editorial of 20 April 2023 attributes the 2023 Stiletto family extension — including this tapered stool — to ps+a. The same studio designed the Stiletto bergère, Stiletto chair, Discovery chair, La Greca sofa, Goddess sectional/sofa/armchair, Aeternitas Love bed, and Discovery table for Versace Home.
Salone del Mobile 2023 — Milan, 18-23 April 2023. The licensed manufacturer's news article of 20 April 2023 introduces the tapered stool as part of the Stiletto family extension at that fair, alongside the bergère with footrest, the leather-top table extension, and the Discovery chair. Same launch as the bergère (id 406), Discovery chair (id 417), and Stiletto chair (id 416).
Anywhere the room benefits from compact accent seating at higher stool register. Beside a vanity desk (the 55 cm seat works for a seated user at the typical 80 cm vanity height). At an entryway as a place to sit when removing shoes (the taller register makes standing up easier than from a low bench). In a dressing room as a single-sitter accent. As occasional seating beside a Stiletto sofa or armchair in the lounge. The compact square format and tapered frame keep it visually identifiable across uses.
