Designer Low Stools and Occasional Seating

How to choose a designer low stool?

Determine its main use: occasional seating, a footrest or a small complementary piece of furniture. Measure the available height, width and depth, then check the stability, composition and usage recommendations indicated on the product sheet.

Low stool or bar stool?

The low stool is suitable as occasional seating in the living room, bedroom or hallway. For a kitchen island, counter or high table, take a look instead at our category designer bar stools and compare the seat height carefully with the height of the tabletop.

The selection brings together models from KARE Design and Richmond Interiors, as well as stools from Blomus and Balvi. Shapes, heights, upholstery and availability vary depending on the reference: check the features of each model.

Stool, pouffe or side table: what use?

A stool is primarily designed as compact seating. A designer pouffe generally offers more padded seating or can be used as a footrest, while a designer side table is intended to hold objects. Always follow the use and load limits specified by the manufacturer.

Frequently asked questions about designer stools

What height should you choose for a low stool?

Compare the seat height indicated on the product sheet with that of the surrounding furniture and the intended use. For sitting at a table or counter, leave enough legroom.

Can a stool be used as a small table?

Only if the product sheet states that this use is intended. A stool and a side table do not necessarily meet the same stability or load requirements.

How do you care for a stool covering?

Follow the instructions corresponding to the material or fabric of the model. Test any care product on an inconspicuous area before applying it more widely.
