I am looking for a big ball of thick nautical rope that I saw in Domino Magazine and can't find the picture now.. It can be used as extra seating or an ottoman, and is really just rope with a rope handle on top...any ideas where to find it?
thanks, viv

We sifted through our old Domino magazines and found a photo that looks like the one you're describing in the August 2008 issue. The photo is of New York fashion designer, Rachel Comey's, weekend home. The rope ottomans are boat bumpers. The ones in the magazine shoot were from Triangle Sea Sales in Greenport, New York. We found the boat bumpers in their online catalog. Does anyone have any other suggestions? We'd love to hear, if this was what you were looking for. Anyone else seen something similar?

Thanks for the resource MC-Mama!

Previous post about woven ottomans. The Ikea ones are a great price, although darker than the ones you asked about.
john derian had vintage ones.
