Bar stools for shared workplace spaces
Bar stools are elevated seats intended for counters, breakfast bars and high tables. They are useful where people gather briefly, eat, have coffee or hold an informal discussion. Unlike task chairs, they are not designed as primary desk seating.
Pair them with high meeting tables to create a flexible touchdown point, or use them in a café-style zone alongside canteen chairs for varied seating heights.
What to consider when selecting stools
- Match the seat height to the counter or table height.
- Consider backrests, footrests and arms for the intended length of use.
- Select the number of stools around the table while allowing room to move.
- Coordinate frame, upholstery and color with the surrounding furniture.
For busy communal areas, consider how finishes will work with the room’s cleaning routine and the overall use of the space.
