Why this high bar stool earns its place
The Hanoi has been built specifically for commercial spaces rather than adapted from a domestic design, and it shows in the details. It's a deep-seat bar chair with a chic rounded back, upholstered in a faux leather padded seat in a striking red, set against a weathered oak finish that gives it the worn, characterful look venues reach for when they want seating with some personality rather than another plain stool.
That padded seat is practical as well as comfortable — the faux leather surface wipes clean in seconds, which matters on a chair that's going to see spills, sticky hands and a full evening's turnover without a break. It also carries a CRIB 5 fire retardant rating, the standard commercial venues need for upholstered seating in public spaces, so it's not just decorative — it's built to be used properly, at pace, without cutting corners on safety.
At 1175mm high and 410mm wide by 440mm deep, it's sized for standard bar and poseur-height counters, and at 10kg it has the heft to feel properly planted rather than tippy under a customer leaning on the bar rail. It's rated for indoor use, in keeping with a finish and fixing designed for a controlled bar or restaurant environment rather than the weather.
