Tate — Bar Stool

Crafted with a solid oak and plywood frame, the stool combines natural warmth with long‑lasting stability. The legs are finished in a rich walnut tone, complemented by a sleek powder‑coated steel footrest, available in any RAL colour for a fully bespoke finish.

Seat & Backrest Comfort

The seat is shaped with layered, supportive cushioning, offering a comfortable, well‑balanced feel during everyday use. The backrest features soft, stabilising padding that gently follows the natural curve of the spine, providing subtle support without adding bulk. Both elements are upholstered with precision, maintaining the stool’s clean geometry and modern, understated character.
