BH | Studio Ribe Rope-Woven Counter Stools, Set of 2

Woven seats are among the oldest ways of making a seat: rush, cord and leather laced across a plain wooden frame. Danish furniture of the mid-twentieth century carried the technique from the dining room into the kitchen and the workroom, and the woven-top stool has been a kitchen fixture ever since.

Each stool has a solid hardwood frame in Blonde or Chestnut, with four straight legs, footrest rungs between them and side supports for a steady stance. The backless seat dips gently in the middle and is woven from rope in Flax or Jet in a basket pattern that gives softly as you sit. The 26-inch seat suits a standard kitchen counter or island. Floor-friendly non-marking pads finish the feet, each stool carries up to 331 lbs, and assembly is required.

Woven cord and solid wood feel soft and natural. Pull the pair up to a kitchen island for breakfast or homework, or set them at a dining counter in a cottage kitchen with a basket of eggs. They work in a breakfast nook or an entertainment room too. They look lovely with white tile, pale oak and linen tea towels. This listing is for a set of two stools.
