Home furniture › Seating furniture › Stools

Bentwood meets tubular steel in this classic among the barstools: the legs of the stool are produced from beech wood in the traditional bending process while a tubular steel ring lends additional stability to the barstool and serves as a footrest for greater seating comfort. The round seat is available as a smooth moulded seat or in an upholstered version. The robust wood and resistant cover fabric make the stool an everyday solid and sociable companion, whether at home or in restaurants.
