Description
Laselle is a backless bar stool in ash wood and black, pairing a thick seat of solid ash with slim legs of black steel for a crisp contemporary contrast. The seat is dished rather than flat, dipping at its front edge. The 70cm in the name is the stool's overall height, while the seat height is 64cm, and it is the seat height that matters when you measure up against a worktop.
It is made for the kitchen island or breakfast bar, and the pairing of ash with black steel suits a Scandinavian-inspired or minimalist kitchen. To check the fit, we suggest measuring from the floor to the underside of your worktop: the gap between that figure and the seat height is your leg room. Measure the same gap at a stool and counter you already find comfortable, and you have a figure to compare it with. Planning a row? Each stool stands on a 45 x 45cm footprint, which is the width to allow per seat along your island, plus a little elbow room between neighbours. And because a backless stool has nothing above seat level, a line of them keeps the view across an open-plan room clear.
Ash is a pale hardwood with a pronounced grain, long chosen for tool handles because it copes well with knocks. Beneath the seat, the four splayed legs are braced by a single crossbar and joined at floor level by a pair of curved runners. The stool needs no assembly and is made in Vietnam. For styling, the black legs can echo black taps, cabinet handles or light fittings elsewhere in the kitchen, while the ash seat keeps the look warm rather than stark.

Frequently Asked
Is the 70cm in the name the seat height?
No. 70cm is the stool's overall height, while the seat height is 64cm. When you check it against your island or breakfast bar, the seat height is the figure to use.
Will it tuck under my island when it is not in use?
Only if the underside of your worktop sits higher than 70cm, the stool's overall height. It takes up 45 x 45cm of floor, so how far it tucks in also depends on how deep your overhang is.
Is the seat solid wood?
Yes. The seat is solid ash, so the wood runs right through rather than being a thin veneer over another material, and the legs and the rest of the frame are black steel.
If I buy several, will the seats match exactly?
Not exactly. Ash is a natural material and no two boards of solid wood carry quite the same grain, so expect the pattern to vary a little from one seat to the next.
Is it sold singly, and will I need to assemble it?
It is sold singly, one bar stool per purchase, and it needs no assembly. Anything else in our room photograph is a styling prop and is not included.
