Discover a Stool Sized for the Breakfast Bar

At 62 cm in height, this stool is made for the lower counters and breakfast bars that anchor most open-plan kitchens. Height is the one measurement worth checking before anything else: leave a hand span between the top of the seat and the underside of the worktop and you gain room for knees, elbows at a natural angle and an easy slide in and out. The solid acacia wood structure keeps the footprint compact, so three stools sit along an island without crowding it, and the frame stays visually light against a solid run of cabinetry.

The seat is a hand-woven rope panel stretched over the frame, and the weave does the work a cushion usually does. Slight give under weight, air moving through the cord and a surface that never turns cold make it a seat you can stay on through a long breakfast. A metal footrest runs beneath, which matters more than it sounds: with feet supported, the lower back stops taking the load. The black rope reads as a graphic band against the pale acacia, a contrast that suits a monochrome kitchen and a warmer wood-heavy scheme alike.

Acacia, Certification and Life Outdoors

Every frame is cut from FSC 100% certified acacia, traced through a full chain of custody back to responsibly managed forest. Acacia is dense and close-grained, which is why it takes a natural finish so evenly and why the timber resists knocks around a busy island. Because it is a natural material, colour varies from board to board: expect honeyed golds through to deeper caramel tones, and small shifts in grain from one stool to the next. Ordering a pair means two closely matched pieces rather than two identical ones.

The cord is UV-resistant, so the stool is rated for indoor use and for under-cover outdoor settings such as a covered terrace, a veranda or a sheltered balcony. Keep it out of standing rain and away from prolonged direct sun and the weave holds its colour for years. Cleaning is straightforward: brush the rope with a soft dry brush, wipe the wood with a barely damp cloth, and let everything dry fully before use. The Kave Home design is also produced in further finishes and colours if you are matching an existing scheme.
