Why this high bar stool earns its place
The Bristol brings a distinctly Parisian shabby-chic look to the bar — French-inspired styling built around a metal cross-back that plays into the retro-industrial trend running through a lot of hospitality fit-outs right now, held together by a solid rubber wood frame that keeps the whole thing grounded rather than tipping into pastiche.
This vintage-finished version pairs that cross-back silhouette with a padded seat in shetland forest fabric — a deep green that adds real colour to a bar run without shouting about it, and takes the edge off what would otherwise be a purely decorative stool.
Designed for contract use, the Bristol is built to endure high-traffic environments rather than just look the part in a showroom — a fair claim to make of a stool that comes in at 1180mm high, 440mm wide and 440mm deep, with a gross weight of 10kg giving it enough presence to stay put at a busy bar.
