Bar Stools with the Wow Factor

Breakfast bars or home bars can instantly transform the way you use your space. And one of the most important elements of a bar area is the seating. As well as being sturdy and practical, bar stools need to have the wow factor.

If you’re looking to furnish your bar area, there’s a wealth of possibilities to suit your style and space. But first, you need to consider how the stool will be used. Is it for a quick cup of coffee, gathering for breakfast, catching up with friends over a glass of wine or finishing off that last-minute homework in the morning?

For added comfort, the Magda Couture Bar Stool by Cattelan Italian features a solid structure with an upholstered seat and backrest. The elegant backrest provides extra support and features delicate stitching detail, which is a subtle contrast to its strong frame.

If space is an issue, opt for a backless design that can easily be stowed away under the worktop when not in use - the Calligaris Ice Bar Stool is the ideal choice. The technopolymer seat replicates a crystal-like design, while its contrasting metal frame has a futuristic appeal. This style is also easy to keep clean, no matter which finish you choose, an ideal design for families with a busy lifestyle.
