The story

For the first coffee of the day and the talk at the island after dinner.

The kitchen island gets used all day: breakfast before work, homework after school, a glass of wine while the pasta boils. The Boissière Counter Stool gives each of those moments a proper seat, with a low back to lean on and a footrest low between the legs.

Its seat and back are one shell in charcoal grey woven fabric, set on a solid rubberwood frame in a warm walnut-brown finish. Crisp mitred corners, softly rounded openings and splayed legs keep its mid-century line clean from every side.

The design

Three details behind the Boissière Counter Stool.

The Boissière Counter Stool is a plain, low-backed seat on an open wooden frame. Three details give it its shape.

Mitred Corners, Rounded Edges

Mitred Corners, Rounded Edges

Where each leg meets its side rail, the joint is a crisp diagonal mitre, and the inside corner below it is softly rounded. The legs' edges are eased, and the walnut-brown finish lets the rubberwood's open grain show.

One Shell, Seat to Back

One Shell, Seat to Back

The seat and the low back are a single upholstered shell in charcoal grey woven polyester. A fine seam follows its side edges, and the back rises 11 inches above the seat with softly rounded corners.

Made for the Island

Made for the Island

With its seat 25 inches high, it suits a standard 36-inch kitchen counter, and the top of its back sits just below the counter top. It is sold singly, so you can order as many as your island needs.

Dimensions

Will it fit?

Width 18.5″ 47 cm
Depth 20″ 51 cm
Height 35.75″ 91 cm

Planning tip. Each stool is 18.5" (47 cm) wide and 20" (51 cm) deep, with a seat 25" (63.5 cm) high for a standard 36" (91 cm) kitchen counter, which leaves about 11" (28 cm) between the seat and the counter top. Allow about 24-26" (61-66 cm) of counter length per stool, so a 6-foot (183 cm) island seats three, and keep about 36" (91 cm) clear behind the stools so people can pass.
