Why this high bar stool earns its place
The Bristol takes its cue from Parisian bistro seating — a French-inspired, shabby chic silhouette with a cross-back that nods to the retro-industrial look doing the rounds in bars and restaurants right now. On the Bristol, that styling sits on a rubber wood frame in a vintage finish, so the chair reads as characterful rather than mass-produced, without giving up the sturdiness a solid timber frame brings.
The seat is where the comfort lives: a padded pad upholstered in Shetland Scarlett fabric, adding a warm hit of colour and enough cushioning that a chair meant for perching becomes one people are happy to sit at for a full service. At 440mm wide, 650mm deep and 1180mm tall, it's sized for a proper bar-height counter or poseur table, and at 10kg it has the heft of solid wood rather than the lightness of a stack chair — this is a chair built to stay put, not to be shuffled around daily.
Everyday builds the Bristol to contract furniture standard, which means it's rated for the wear a high-traffic bar or restaurant puts a chair through — leant on, spun on, knocked against tables — and it's backed by a 1-year warranty. It's an indoor chair through and through, which is exactly where that fabric seat and wood frame are meant to live.
