The Royal Versailles Ball:
one-of-one & limited series

The Exta Ottoman for The Royal Versailles Ball 2026

House of Nico Interiors is proud to unveil a singular, bespoke edition of the Exta ottoman, exclusively produced for the 2026 Royal Versailles Ball. Produced for auction among the event's distinguished attendees, this piece represents a seamless synthesis of uncompromising modern craftsmanship and historic grandeur.

The Craftsmanship Rooted in a philosophy of highly individual design, the Exta ottoman breathes modern life into traditional silhouettes, ensuring classic design is deeply respected rather than replicated. Constructed from raw oak, the piece features our signature handsomely designed, square-tapered legs and a crisp edge finish. Achieving the fine detailing of this specific profile demands a level of precision rarely undertaken in contemporary furniture production. By refusing to sacrifice structural elegance for mass manufacturing, H.O.N. Interiors crafts original pieces that serve as true rarities in modern design.

To capture the opulent theme of the evening, this exclusive piece proudly features the esteemed Damas De Louis fabric in Rubis by Chelsea Textiles. Selected for its intricate pattern and raw, tactile quality, this heritage textile creates a flawless dialogue with the ottoman's structural elegance. This alignment of H.O.N. Interiors' exacting woodwork and Chelsea Textiles' historic fabric elevates the ottoman into a piece truly worthy of Versailles.

The one-of-one Exta ottoman will be auctioned at The Royal Versailles Ball this year to benefit the evening's selected charity.

Following the creation of our bespoke, one-of-one Exta ottoman for the 2026 Royal Versailles Ball, House of Nico Interiors (H.O.N. Interiors) is pleased to announce a strictly limited-edition release inspired by the evening's historic grandeur.

An Exclusive Capsule Run To preserve the uncompromising precision and rarity of our craftsmanship, this commemorative series will be capped at exactly 15 numbered pieces. Each ottoman in this edition reflects the same structural elegance and crisp, raw oak edge finish as the original master, celebrating our dedication to traditional silhouettes refined for the modern interior.

The Textile While the original auction piece featured Chelsea Textiles' Damas De Louis, this limited series will be distinctively upholstered in a choice of three Chelsea Textile fabrics from their Havisham series. Selected for its ability to fit in a range of interior settings, this fabric creates a commanding presence while harmonising flawlessly with the architectural taper of the oak legs.

Our Philanthropic Commitment H.O.N. Interiors believes that heritage craftsmanship should serve a purpose beyond the atelier. In continuation of our partnership with The Royal Versailles Ball, 25% of the profits from each Versailles Edition ottoman will be donated directly to The King’s Foundation, Room to Read, and Fondation Franco-Britannique de Sillery; organisations transforming the lives of children and young people worldwide.

The Versailles Edition is available by direct commission only. To inquire about acquiring a numbered piece from this limited run, please contact our studio.
