Taupe performance velvet wraps this stool in a warm, versatile neutral that plays well with both light and dark cabinetry. The silhouette takes cues from modern Italian lounge seating, with a curved barrel back that hugs then opens at the center to feel airy and sculptural. A generously cushioned seat and softly rounded edges make everyday meals and casual cocktails equally comfortable. The continuous, fully upholstered base feels substantial without visual heaviness, finished with a slim stainless steel footrest. Non-marking caps along the base help protect hard floors, and the stool arrives fully assembled.
