High stools: Vertical ergonomics for contemporary spaces
The integration of bars and raised surfaces into contemporary interior design has transformed the bar stool into an essential piece of furniture. Far from being merely an extra seat, these stools define interaction in the kitchen or dining room, fostering a more fluid and relaxed social atmosphere. Technically, a good bar stool must balance the stability of its base—often reinforced with perimeter footrests—with an ergonomic seat that allows for extended use. Our selection prioritizes highly wear-resistant materials, such as injected polypropylene, epoxy-coated steel, or treated hardwoods, ensuring durability even in high-traffic environments.
Types of stools according to material and functionality
| Guy | Technical Specifications | Design/Use Opportunity |
|---|---|---|
| Solid Wood (Teak/Oak) | Stable and heavy structure, warm touch, natural aging and timeless aesthetics. | Open kitchens that seek to visually connect with the living room through organic materials. |
| Upholstery (Velvet/Fabric) | The seat is padded with high-density foam, providing acoustic comfort and visual texture. | Breakfast bars where daily meals are served and comfort is prioritized. |
| Metal Structure | Thin steel or iron profiles, high impact resistance, easy to clean. | High-traffic areas or urban aesthetics that require visually light furniture. |
| Adjustable and Rotatable | Gas piston mechanism for height adjustment, base with wide plate to prevent tipping. | Multipurpose areas where the height of the support surface can vary or for different users. |
Advantages of choosing the right seat
- Space optimization: Backless models can be stored completely under the bar, freeing up passage areas.
- Functional versatility: Many designs are suitable for both indoor and covered outdoor areas, extending their lifespan.
- Postural comfort: The presence of a footrest is crucial to maintain a healthy posture and avoid leg fatigue.
- Easy maintenance: Materials such as polypropylene or lacquered metal allow for quick cleaning with a damp cloth.
Criteria for selecting the correct height
The golden rule for choosing a bar stool is to calculate the distance between the seat and the bar surface. It's recommended to leave 25-30 cm of legroom. So, for a standard kitchen bar (90 cm), the seat should be about 60-65 cm from the floor. For taller bar counters (100-110 cm), opt for models with a seat height of 75-80 cm. If you're unsure or your bar is a non-standard height, adjustable models are the safest technical option.
Frequently asked questions about bar stools
-
Are three-legged stools safe?
Yes, provided the design is well balanced and the leg opening is sufficient to ensure lateral stability.
-
How to protect the floor from metal legs?
Most of our models include non-slip feet or integrated plastic protectors to prevent scratches on parquet or tiles.
-
What fabric is best for a kitchen?
Faux leather or fabrics with stain-resistant treatments are ideal, as they allow you to easily clean up food or drink splashes.
-
Is a backrest necessary on a stool?
It depends on the use. For quick breakfasts it's not essential, but if it's going to be used for work or long dinners, the backrest provides necessary lumbar support.
