Woven rattan backrest and seat, solid wood curved legs, 66cm seat height — the bar stool that makes a kitchen island feel like it was designed rather than just equipped.

A bar stool is the piece that determines whether a kitchen island looks designed or just functional — and the rattan backrest is what makes this one genuinely beautiful. The handwoven rattan across both the back and the seat brings the organic warmth and textural depth that no moulded plastic, metal or plain upholstered alternative can replicate, catching the light across its woven surface and adding a natural character to the kitchen that coordinates naturally with linen, ceramics, wooden worktops and the full range of natural material accessories. The 66cm seat height sits correctly at a standard kitchen island without feeling perched, and the 50cm width means multiple stools line up comfortably without crowding.

What sets it apart

The detail that makes it different

The woven rattan seat is the quality most bar stools in the category avoid — they use upholstered foam, moulded plastic or solid wood instead, each of which is easier and cheaper to manufacture but none of which has the natural breathability and comfortable give of woven rattan. A rattan seat is naturally cool against the skin, has a slight flex that makes extended sitting genuinely more comfortable than a rigid alternative, and does not absorb heat in a kitchen environment the way foam or dark upholstery can. The curved solid wood legs and sturdy footrest provide the structural robustness that daily kitchen use demands, and the rustic natural finish brings the warmth of honest, organic timber to the piece.
