Description
The Angelo is a retro bar stool in vintage brown leather on slim black iron legs. Its cushioning has a ribbed effect, with channels running down the backrest, and the seat curves up at the sides. It stands 105cm tall, 45cm wide and 54cm deep, with the seat at 72cm, and that seat height is the figure to check before anything else. With the usual allowance of 25 to 30cm for knees, a 72cm seat suits a bar top whose underside sits roughly 97 to 102cm from the floor.
That makes it a stool for a raised breakfast bar, a home bar or a kitchen island with a bar-height top. At a standard kitchen worktop of around 90cm, there would be too little knee room, so measure from the floor to the underside of your own top first. Most people's feet will not reach the floor at this height, which is why the curved footrest across the front matters. With the stool 45cm wide, allow around 60cm of bar length for each one so neighbours have room for their elbows; a 180cm run takes three. The vintage brown and black pairing sits well against dark timber, exposed brick, concrete or painted cabinetry.
The legs are black iron, joined by rails and the footrest, and the seat and back are leather over PU foam; by composition it is 35% leather, 35% PU foam and 30% iron. Leather is a natural material and no two hides are quite alike, so if you buy more than one, expect small natural differences in the grain between them. The stool is made in India, sold singly and needs partial assembly. Two or three of these leather bar stools in a row bring a warm, retro note to a kitchen without asking the rest of the room to follow.

Frequently Asked
What height of breakfast bar or kitchen island does this suit?
The seat sits 72cm from the floor. The usual guide is 25 to 30cm between the seat and the underside of the top, so look for an underside at roughly 97 to 102cm from the floor. A standard kitchen worktop of around 90cm leaves too little knee room.
Is it real leather?
Yes, the seat and back are leather. By composition the stool is 35% leather, 35% PU foam and 30% iron, and the PU is the foam cushioning inside rather than a faux leather surface.
Does it have a footrest?
Yes, a curved footrest runs across the front, with rails linking the legs. At a 72cm seat height most adults' feet will not reach the floor, so that is where they will rest.
How many will fit along my breakfast bar?
The stool is 45cm wide at its widest. A common guide is around 60cm of bar length per stool so neighbours have elbow room, which means two along a 120cm bar and three along 180cm.
Is it sold singly or as a pair?
It is sold as a single stool, so order two if you want a pair. The chair, plant and lantern in our room photograph are not included.
Does it need assembling?
Yes, it needs partial assembly, so part of the stool comes already put together and you finish the rest at home.
