Modern Stools
Stools are an eclectic range of items, functional and
fashionable pieces of furniture that fulfil many roles and work superbly in a
multitude of locations. Stools are typically seen as solely for a domestic bar
or breakfast bar, used with a kitchen counter or a bar table, but they are
superb in other areas of the home; they are perfect at a vanity table or in a
dressing room, as well as making excellent computer chairs, twinned with a desk
in the study.

There are low stools that are at chair height, making them
perfect counterparts for any modern dining table, giving contemporary, dynamic
designs that enhance any location. You can also find commercial height stools,
which are suited to a higher counter such as those found in bistros and
restaurants as well as slender and elegant poseur tables, whilst roller stools
utilise nylon casters like an office chair for easy movement across all
surfaces.
Modern Stools
Modern stools are usually built on either a wooden or on a steel
framework, the most commonplace of which are the metal frames. They can come
either as boxed frame styles or a variant of this known as the cantilever
style, with the upright sections only found at the front of the stool. Z style
stools are shaped as the name suggests, and there are four legged metal stools
as well for excellent rigidity. The most commonplace however, are gas lift stools. These employ a hydraulic gas lift mechanism that allows for variation
of the height, letting you raise and lower it for different occupants, as well
as rotating through 360 degrees for easy access to and off the seat.

Chrome plating is popular for modern stools with steel frames, giving a
mirrored, polished finish that is durable and easy to clean, but it can also
have a hand worked brushed stainless steel finish for a more restrained, minimalist
look. Wooden frames are mostly limited to four legs; rigid, stable
and perfect for all types of flooring. Oak and walnut provide a natural feel
consolidated by the grain on show, adding depth and character. Wood is also
used in the making of stools, adding a desirable look and an organic feel.

These modern stools are usually padded with cushioned sections to ensure
comfort and support, showcasing high density foam upholstered in soft faux
leather or pliant real leather. Both are stain resistant and low maintenance, and
due to its synthetic nature faux leather is resilient to even harsh chemicals.
This also means it can be infused with dye whilst it is being produced and so
is available in a huge range of colours from traditional brown to vibrant
orange.

Aside from these materials you can also find ABS
resin modern stools, which are moulded from a light, impact resistant polymer and left
in a high gloss finish, as well as acrylic Perspex resin. This can come in several
translucent shades which allow you to see through the stools, keeping the
overall look light and airy, perfect for smaller rooms in the home.
