SWALLOWCLIFFE BARSTOOL

ABOUT

I love the Royal Oak, in Swallowcliffe, for which I designed these barstools. I had particular village characters in mind with this design, all of whom duly obliged and took willing and glorious possession. They work as perch benches at the bar, in the kitchen and anywhere else waiting for you to do the same. Robust and comfortable work-a-day chic. Half height version is available.

The seats have a counter intuitive convex curve for the seat. I had observed that most conventional chair seats had a cup-shape curve the upturn of which provided little comfort and prescribed which way you sat upon it. The important bit was the size and drop of the convex curve. I ran with that and our solution allows you to sit facing either way in comfort.
