Description
The Manutti Kumo Medium Footstool is a compact, perfectly square outdoor footstool from the Kumo collection, designed by Lionel Doyen — its name drawn from the Japanese word for "cloud," reflecting the collection's light, enveloping comfort philosophy. Built on a powder-coated aluminium (PCA) base available in White, Lava, and Flint, the Kumo Medium Footstool is a versatile building block of the Kumo modular system: at 107 × 107 cm and just 40 cm in height, its perfectly square footprint makes it equally at home as a single footstool beside a lounge chair, as a paired footstool at the end of a sofa set, or as a modular seat element within a larger Kumo composition. With the addition of movable armrests and a backrest, the medium footstool transforms seamlessly into a fully configured lounge chair — making it one of the most adaptable and space-efficient formats in the collection. Available in 58 premium outdoor fabrics across Categories A, B, and C, including fire-retardant options, with Salty White Fr recommended for its clean, timeless character in both residential and hospitality settings.
Key Features
- Compact Square Format — 107 × 107 cm: The Kumo Medium Footstool's perfectly square 107 × 107 cm footprint — identical in depth to the Kumo Large Footstool but half the width — makes it the most space-efficient and flexibly placed format in the Kumo footstool range. Its square proportions allow it to be positioned end-to-end with another medium footstool to replicate the Large Footstool's 214 cm span, placed singly beside a lounge chair for classic footrest use, or integrated into any Kumo modular sofa configuration as a square seat base. At 40 cm height it aligns precisely with all Kumo seating modules and standard outdoor lounge chair seat heights for seamless compositional continuity.
- Modular System — Transforms from Footstool to Lounge Chair: The Kumo Medium Footstool is a fully modular base unit of the Kumo system. Movable armrests and a backrest can be added at any time to convert it from a standalone footstool into a complete lounge chair — or into a sofa or chaise element within a larger Kumo composition. Two medium footstools combined with the appropriate arm and back modules create a two-seat sofa; paired with the Large Footstool, the medium forms part of any Kumo concept configuration without gaps or misalignment.
- Movable Arm and Backrests: The Kumo's arm and backrests are individually movable and fully independent from the seat base — each can be positioned, removed, or repositioned without tools, giving the medium footstool complete day-to-day flexibility as a footrest, standalone seat, or fully configured lounge chair depending on the occasion and composition.
- PCA Powder-Coated Aluminium Base — Three Finishes: The medium footstool's base is constructed from powder-coated aluminium (PCA) in White, Lava, or Flint — three architectural finishes delivering a precise, weather-resistant base profile beneath the Kumo's plush cushioned seat. PCA White delivers a clean, bright contemporary base presence ideal for light-toned cushion pairings; PCA Lava provides a warm, deep tone that grounds the medium footstool in any outdoor composition; PCA Flint offers a versatile cool mid-tone grey that pairs across the widest range of outdoor settings and fabric colourways.
- 58 Premium Outdoor Cushion Fabrics — Categories A, B, and C: The full 58-fabric Manutti outdoor fabric range is available across Categories A, B, and C — including multiple fire-retardant options across all categories. Salty White Fr (Category B, Quick Ship) is the recommended colourway for the Kumo Medium Footstool, delivering a clean, airy tone that works equally across all three PCA base finishes.
- Adjustable Feet: Black adjustable feet caps for level stability on any uneven outdoor surface — ensuring the Kumo Medium Footstool sits flush and stable on pool decks, stone terraces, timber decking, and any composite outdoor flooring.
- Knock-Down Construction: Flat-pack delivery and straightforward assembly; fully disassembles for seasonal storage or commercial reconfiguration — particularly practical for the medium footstool's compact 107 × 107 cm format in hospitality and residential storage contexts.
- Optional Protective Cover: Recommended for year-round permanently installed outdoor settings — sized for the Kumo Medium Footstool's 107 × 107 cm footprint.
- MED Certification on Demand: Marine Equipment Directive certification available on demand — qualifying the Kumo Medium Footstool for yacht, cruise vessel, and commercial marine deck specification.

Materials & Comfort
Medium Footstool Construction
Compact Square Proportions: 42.1" × 42.1" width and depth at a low 15.7" height — the Kumo Medium Footstool's perfectly square format makes it the most space-efficient and versatile format in the Kumo footstool range, equally suited to single footrest use beside a lounge chair, paired placement as a dual-footstool at the end of a sofa, or as a standalone square seat module within any Kumo modular configuration.
The Kumo Medium Footstool's 107 × 107 cm cushioned surface and precision powder-coated aluminium base combine the collection's signature cloud-like comfort with the structural integrity and weather resistance of Manutti's PCA construction — making the medium footstool as practical and durable as it is soft and inviting.
Outdoor Performance
Premium Materials: PCA powder-coated aluminium base in White, Lava, or Flint paired with high-performance outdoor cushion fabrics — including multiple fire-retardant options across Categories A, B, and C — engineered for superior UV, moisture, and mildew resistance across all outdoor environments including poolside, coastal, and year-round hospitality settings.
Made in Belgium: Every Kumo piece is manufactured by Manutti in Belgium, ensuring consistent quality, dimensional precision, and full modular compatibility across all Kumo system components, base modules, arm and backrest accessories, and cushion configurations.
Usage & Care
Modular Versatility
Square Module — Maximum Flexibility: The Kumo Medium Footstool's 107 × 107 cm square format integrates seamlessly into every Kumo concept configuration — two medium footstools side by side match the Large Footstool's 214 cm span exactly; a single medium footstool pairs with any Kumo armchair, lounge chair, or sofa for classic footrest use; with arm and backrest modules added, the medium footstool becomes a fully configured lounge chair at the same 40 cm seat height as all other Kumo bases.
Collection Integration: Designed to connect without gaps or offsets with all Kumo modules — large footstools, sofa sets, two-seater sofas, armchairs, sun loungers, and double sun loungers — for fully modular, reconfigurable outdoor living and hospitality compositions at any scale.
Maintenance & Protection
PCA Aluminium Base: Powder-coated aluminium requires minimal maintenance — periodic cleaning with mild soap and water maintains the base finish across all three PCA colours. Fully resistant to UV, salt, moisture, and poolside chemical exposure for year-round outdoor use without recoating or specialist treatment.
Easy Care: Cushion covers are removable and washable. Optional protective cover available for the Kumo Medium Footstool's 107 × 107 cm footprint — recommended for permanently installed outdoor settings and year-round hospitality use in all climates.
