Lewis Stool

The Lewis Stool is a backless steel stool with a round solid wood seat. Four tapered legs splay gently from beneath the seat and are tied together with stretchers that double as footrests, giving the stool a sturdy, classic industrial look. The wood seat adds warmth against the metal frame, whether it is finished in a crisp powder coat (shown in white) or a raw metal look.

Backless stools tuck fully under a bar or counter, keeping aisles clear and sightlines open, which makes the Lewis a practical choice for busy bars, counters and food halls. It comes in bar and counter heights and coordinates with the Lewis Side Chair and Lewis High Back Stool.
