The Keswick Counter Chair from Alder & Ore has a defined back panel that rises and curves inward at the shoulders, giving the piece a more enclosed, supportive feel than a standard counter stool. Manufactured from forged steel, fabric, and foam, the hammered metal base has a hand-worked surface quality that contrasts well with the smooth upholstery above. The cross-brace stretcher between the legs adds structural detail without complicating the overall design.
