Description
The Otto cushion adds a soft seat to the Otto outdoor bar stool without changing its character. It follows the seat footprint at 43.5 × 37 cm and sits inside the frame at 5 cm thick, so the armrests and the seat still line up the way they were drawn.
The cover is Sunproof Fontelina olefin in Oat or Dusk, 100% solution-dyed at 357 g/m². The color runs through the fiber rather than sitting on the surface, which is why it holds a weathering fastness of 7 to 8, is tested to 1,500 hours of weatherability, rates 4 to 5 against pool and sea water, and carries OEKO-TEX Standard 100 and UV Standard 801. Inside is high-density outdoor foam that keeps its shape and lets moisture pass rather than holding it.
A discreet strip of Velcro underneath aligns with the teak slats and holds the cushion in place, with no visible straps or ties. The cover unzips and machine washes cool on a gentle cycle, then air dries. Handmade in our own factory in Malmö, Sweden and covered by our 10-year warranty. The stool is designed to work with the cushion or without it.

Care & Maintenance

Delivery, Returns & Assembly
Shipping
Shipping is calculated at checkout from your delivery address and the size of your order, so you see the exact cost before you pay. A tracking link reaches you by email the moment your order leaves our factory in Malmö, Sweden.
Delivery time
Orders to the United States are delivered by UPS, normally 2 to 5 business days after dispatch. Made to order pieces are produced first, and that production time is shown on this page.
Assembly
Most of our furniture arrives fully assembled. Dining tables and some outdoor pieces arrive with the top and legs packed separately, and fitting them takes 5 to 10 minutes and one screwdriver.
Returns
You have 14 days from delivery to request a return, provided the piece is unused and in its original condition. Email info@by-crea.com or open the chat and we will arrange it. Return shipping is paid by you at the carrier's actual rate, typically 15 to 20% of the order value, or roughly 35 to 100 USD per package depending on size and destination. We confirm the exact amount before anything is collected.
Custom orders
Anything configured through Design Your Own, with custom dimensions, finishes or materials, is produced specifically for your order and is not eligible for return. Order free samples first, or ask us in the chat, and we will help you get it right the first time.
FAQ
Oat and Dusk, both Sunproof Fontelina olefin. Oat is a warm off-white, Dusk a mixed grey. Both are solution-dyed, so the colour runs through the fibre rather than sitting on the surface.
Yes. The cover unzips and washes cool on a gentle cycle. Let it air dry rather than tumble drying. The foam core is spot clean only.
Very little fading. The olefin holds a weathering fastness of 7 to 8 and is tested to 1,500 hours of weatherability. The fabric is water repellent and the foam lets moisture pass, so the cushion dries outdoors after rain rather than staying wet.
Yes. A strip of Velcro underneath aligns with the teak slats and holds it, so nothing shifts forward or sideways. It is hidden from view and comes away without tools.
It adds 5 cm. The counter and bar height recommendations for the stool still hold, and the armrests are unaffected.
In our own factory in Malmö, Sweden. Every cushion is cut, filled and sewn in house.
