BH | Studio Ribe Strap-Woven Vegan Leather 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.

The frame of each stool is solid hardwood in a Blonde or Chestnut finish; the four straight legs are tied by rungs to rest your feet on, and side supports brace them for a firm stance. The backless seat is gently dished and woven from broad straps of vegan leather in a basket pattern, firm but with a little give and simple to wipe clean. At 26 inches, the seat suits a standard kitchen counter or island. Non-marking pads protect the floor, each stool holds up to 331 lbs, and some assembly is needed.

Tobacco, a warm cognac brown, or Jet, on Blonde or Chestnut wood, has the easy charm of Danish design. Set the pair at a white kitchen island for breakfast, or at a dining counter where friends gather with a glass of wine. They suit a breakfast nook or an entertainment room too. They look lovely with white walls, green plants and pale oak. This listing is for a set of two stools.
