Looking for a bit of furniture

My wife has describred a bit of furniture she wants. I have no idea if it even exists/where to look so I'm reaching out to the might of the internet for help.

Circular, rotatating ottoman which has top you could sit on.
Fabric top.
Between 1m -> 1.5m diameter.
Visible, on-display, compartments for displaying/storing shoes around the edges

Any ideas on where I could find this.

    It sounds like something that would be made bespoke. 

    Especially at 1.5 metres diameter, not so many people would have the space in their house to waste so the market would be small. The rotating detail would also be quite unusual for a seat. 

    Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

    What finish, Cheetah? 
    It sounds like a perfect DIY or local chippy/handyperson job, especially if painted - it would be very easy to build from MDF.
    Needs some planning. A 'pie'-type shoe housing would taper very tightly at the backs of the spaces, so perhaps it having just a couple of show access 'sides' would work better.

    Agree on bespoke - there are swivel sofas, so a swivel mechanism for that size and safe to sit on exists.  Then adapt a coffee table design for top and bottom circles with visible storage between, and pad and upholster the top.

    Lazy Susan - A very quick search turns up one 36" in diameter (American supplier) suitable for a table top up to 72".
    If you can machine a semicircular groove in both the base plate & top, fill it with marbles or large ball bearings, job done.

    Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

    I'm thinking reclaimed large cable reel on casters, covered in fabric with a bit of shelving fitted in.
