Ronin Stool

The Ronin Stool brings the channel-stitched shell of the Ronin Chair to bar and counter height. Wide horizontal channels run across the upholstered back, and the shell curves gently around the sitter for comfortable, unhurried seating. It rises from a slim single column on a four-star base, with a foot rest projecting from the column and an optional swivel seat with auto-return.

Shown in a soft gray upholstery on a brushed brass base, the Ronin Stool has a polished, modern presence along a bar. The base is available in polished stainless steel, brushed brass or black powder coat, and the shell can be upholstered in leather, faux leather, fabric or your own material. The Ronin Stool is shown in the project photos on this page at North Italia in Plano and North Italia in Santa Monica, and it pairs with the Ronin Chair and Ronin Backless Stool.

Built for commercial use

The Ronin Stool has a welded steel base rather than a bolted one, so it stays steady and solid in daily use. It is tested to 400 lbs and tested internally to meet ANSI/BIFMA standards, and its foam and upholstery meet CAL TB 117-2013. It ships fully assembled from the factory and carries a 3-year frame structural warranty and a 1-year finish and upholstery warranty from shipment.
