Wooden stools

Wooden stools: The elegance of nature

Wood is the quintessential material when we seek warmth, durability, and a connection to nature in interior design. Wooden stools combine the structural robustness needed for elevated seating with the beauty of natural grain, making each piece unique. In our collection, we work with fine woods such as oak, teak, ash, and mango, as well as sustainable options made from reclaimed wood. Whether in a rustic, solid-block design or a sleek Nordic silhouette, these stools integrate seamlessly into kitchens, bars, or dining rooms, adding a texture and solidity that synthetic materials simply cannot match.

Variety of woods and finishes

Advantages of choosing solid wood furniture

• Longevity: A well-built wooden stool can last for generations, gaining character over time (patina).
• Restorability: Unlike plastic or metal, wood can be sanded, varnished, or painted if it gets scratched or if you want to change the color.
• Stability: Its natural weight provides a firm and secure base, preventing accidental tipping on high stools.
• Tactile versatility: It offers a pleasant temperature to the touch in any season, neither too cold in winter nor too hot in summer.

Maintenance and care tips

To keep your wooden stools looking their best, wipe them regularly with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry them immediately. Avoid abrasive or ammonia-based products. If the wood is natural (unvarnished), apply wax or a specific wood oil once a year to nourish it and protect it from stains. In kitchens, make sure they have a protective finish (varnish or lacquer) to prevent grease and liquids from penetrating the pores.

Frequently asked questions about wooden stools

• Are wooden stools without cushions comfortable?

  Ergonomic designs with contoured seats are surprisingly comfortable. For extended use, you can always add a biscuit cushion.

• Can the legs be cut to lower the height?

  Yes, since it is solid wood, a carpenter can adjust the height by cutting the legs, always respecting the structure and the footrests.

• How to remove watermarks from wood?

  If the finish is wax or oil, you can gently polish it with fine steel wool and then re-wax it. If it's varnish, it will require a specific product.

• Do they match modern white kitchens?

  Absolutely. Wood provides the warm contrast needed to break up the coldness of modern white or gray kitchens.
