BH | Studio Ribe Strap-Woven Vegan Leather Bar 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 is built from solid hardwood in a warm mid-brown finish, its four straight legs joined by rungs that double as footrests and braced by side supports. The backless seat is gently dished and laced from wide black vegan leather straps in a basket weave, firm with a little give and easy to wipe clean. The 29.5-inch seat is made for a bar-height counter or a home bar. Underneath, non-marking pads look after the floor; every stool is rated to 331 lbs, and they need some assembly.

Jet leather on warm brown wood has the look of a smart city bar. Line them up at a home bar with cut-glass tumblers and a dish of salted pistachios, or at a tall kitchen island in a loft. They suit an entertainment room or a breakfast nook with a high counter. The look is right with dark cabinetry, brass and pendant lights. This listing is for a set of two stools.
