Savoy customisable counter stool

The Savoy customisable counter stool is designed for everyday use at a kitchen island or breakfast counter, where comfort and proportion really matter. With a seat height of 65 cm, it aligns naturally with standard worktops so you can sit close to the surface without feeling too high. The curved backrest wraps gently around the body, while a generous open cut-out above the seat keeps the outline light and airy. In the photo, the pink fabric simply shows one possible finish; in reality, you choose the upholstery from the Richmond Interiors fabric collection to suit your own colour scheme. Slim black metal legs, connected by practical footrest bars, give the stool a crisp, contemporary base that pairs easily with dark taps, appliances or window frames. Grouped by two or three, this lower counter version creates a welcoming line of seats without the imposing height of a traditional bar stool.

Savoy counter stool design details

The Savoy customisable counter stool stands out through its soft yet graphic shape. The backrest curves in a smooth arc, creating a comfortable shell without extending too far to the sides, which helps it fit under many countertops. Between back and seat, a wide horizontal opening slices cleanly through the silhouette, exposing both the chosen fabric and the space behind the stool. This cut-out prevents the design from feeling heavy when several are lined up. The seat itself is relatively deep, inviting you to settle in for a leisurely coffee, laptop work or casual meal. From the side view, the slender black metal legs form a simple, almost architectural frame, with crossbars placed at a natural height for resting your feet. Their slight outward angle stabilises the 100 cm overall height while maintaining a narrow 50 cm width and 57 cm depth that work well in smaller kitchens.

Why choose this Savoy model

• Seat height of 65 cm suits standard kitchen counters, allowing comfortable elbow positioning on the worktop without overreaching or hunching.
• Curved backrest with open cut-out offers support while keeping the visual volume low, ideal for open-plan spaces needing lightness.
• Customisable upholstery from the Richmond Interiors fabric collection lets you echo cabinet colours, splashbacks or nearby soft furnishings.
• Black metal base coordinates easily with dark fixtures and creates a clean line under the counter when several stools are grouped.
• Lower counter version, distinct from the taller bar stool, perfect where the counter does not reach classic bar height levels.

Where to place your counter stool

Thanks to its 65 cm seat height, the Savoy customisable counter stool naturally belongs at counters and islands whose actual height you have measured before ordering. Plan enough width around each stool so each person can swivel slightly without knocking elbows. With its 50 cm width and 57 cm depth, this model suits galley kitchens or peninsulas where floor space is precious and circulation behind the seating must stay free. The black legs recede visually under darker worktops, while a lighter fabric choice can brighten a compact room. Use a row of two for small apartments, replacing a dining table, or line three along a longer island for family breakfasts. If you also have a higher serving area, combine it visually with other pieces from our bar stool category to maintain a consistent style at different heights.

A lasting visual choice

The Savoy customisable counter stool is a considered pick if you value shapes that stay relevant over time. Its rounded back and linear base create a balanced dialogue between softness and structure, which adapts gracefully to changing kitchen trends. Because the upholstery is chosen from the Richmond Interiors fabric range, you can align it with your long-term palette rather than a passing accent colour. A neutral fabric will integrate quietly if you later repaint cabinets or change lighting, while a stronger tone can continue to highlight the island as the room’s focal point. The black legs act as a constant graphic anchor that works with both warm woods and cooler stone surfaces. By focusing on clear proportions and a recognisable outline, this stool can accompany future re-arrangements and new accessories without losing its place in the overall composition.
