The Keswick Counter Stool from Alder & Ore features a low, rounded barrel seat on a hand-forged steel base, whose hammered texture lends the metal a crafted, artisanal quality. Made using forged steel, fabric, and foam, the circular footrest follows the curve of the seat above, tying the design together with a consistent line. The upholstered seat and gently wrapping back offer a degree of comfort, while the open, leggy base keeps the feel light.
