HOT ! Barstool Alex

Barstool Alex – A sculptural form, reimagined for elevated spaces.

Barstool Alex is a striking reinterpretation of retro-modern charm, a piece that combines strong design lines with soft comfort and exceptional craftsmanship. With its open-back silhouette and distinctive tulip base, Alex brings an elegant vertical accent to interiors that value detail, proportion, and personality.

Designed for sophisticated bar areas, kitchen counters, or contemporary hospitality

Curved Form with Visual Lightness

Alex’s defining feature is its open-back silhouette, sculpted to wrap the body while maintaining visual clarity. The backrest arcs gracefully, offering gentle support without enclosing the form. The effect is one of airiness and architectural rhythm, where negative space becomes part of the design story.

The seat is wide and inviting, with proportions that ensure both presence and usability, whether used singly or in a series.

Upholstered Comfort That Lasts

Fully upholstered and generously padded with high-resilience foam, Alex delivers comfort you can feel plush without excess. The seat gently cradles the body, while the curved backrest supports a relaxed upright posture ideal for dining, conversation, or casual work settings.

Internally, the frame is constructed from solid wood and plywood, ensuring long-term durability across both residential and contract environments.

Elevated on a Bronze Tulip Base

The Alex Barstool rests on a sculptural tulip-shaped base, finished in a warm, brushed bronze tone. This elegant metallic accent adds contrast and sophistication, anchoring the softness of the seat with architectural grounding. The base includes a built-in footrest for functional support and a smooth swivel mechanism for ease of movement.

Its sleek profile and compact footprint make it suitable even in tight floorplans, a refined choice for dynamic, design-forward spaces.

Tailored Upholstery with Custom Options

Available in a range of house fabrics including rich velvets, tailored bouclés, and durable performance blends. Barstool Alex can be styled to suit a variety of interior moods, from mid-century warmth to minimalist edge.

For design-specific projects, Barstool Alex is available in COM (Customer’s Own Material), and our studio offers full support with swatching, material matching, and colour harmonisation.
