Bar Chairs & Counter Stools — Modern Comfort, Timeless Craft

Discover the perfect harmony of elegance and ergonomics with Nolita Harbour’s bar chairs and counter stools, designed for refined interiors that balance comfort, craftsmanship, and contemporary design. Each piece is more than seating — it’s a statement of architecture, atmosphere, and artistry.

Our collection includes bar stools, counter height chairs, and kitchen island stools, each meticulously handcrafted from premium materials such as oak, walnut and brass. The result is a blend of strength, stability, and sculptural beauty that elevates every setting — from residential kitchens to high-end restaurants and boutique hotels.

Elevate Your Space with Contemporary Design

Nolita Harbour’s modern bar stools are defined by their clean lines and refined proportions, seamlessly integrating into both contemporary and classic interiors. Choose from bar chairs with backrests for supportive comfort, or opt for backless bar stools that evoke minimalism and spatial lightness — perfect for open-plan kitchens and social spaces.

Every stool is designed with precision, offering an ideal balance between seat height, stability, and posture, ensuring that beauty never comes at the cost of comfort. Whether placed beside a kitchen island, home bar, or hospitality counter, our designs create visual continuity and timeless elegance.

Crafted in Wood, Metal and Upholstery

From the rich tones of oak and walnut bar stools to the warm sheen of brass and brushed metal finishes, every material in our collection is selected for durability, texture, and character.

Our wooden bar stools celebrate natural grains and joinery, while metal bar chairs express contemporary strength and versatility. For added comfort, our upholstered bar stools and upholstered counter stools are layered with high-density foam padding, ensuring resilience through daily use — whether in kitchen counters, bars, or fine dining settings.

Choose from exquisite velvet, woven, or high-quality fabrics, or explore bespoke upholstery options to match your project’s palette. Each seat invites not just sitting, but lingering — a perfect blend of luxury and lifestyle.

Frequently Asked Questions about Bar Chairs and Counter Stools

1. What is the difference between a bar chair and a counter stool?

The main difference lies in seat height. Bar chairs typically have a seat height of around 75–80 cm, ideal for bar tops approximately 105–110 cm high.

Counter stools, on the other hand, are slightly shorteraround 65–70 cm — and designed for kitchen islands or counters of 90–95 cm in height.

Choosing the right height ensures proper comfort and posture when seated.

2. How do I choose the right height for my bar stool or counter chair?

Measure the height of your counter or bar, then allow for 25–30 cm of space between the seat and the underside of the surface. This clearance ensures comfortable legroom. For example, a 90 cm kitchen counter pairs well with a 65 cm stool, while a 110 cm bar table suits a 75 cm seat height.

3. Are Nolita Harbour bar stools comfortable for long seating?

Absolutely. Comfort is central to our design philosophy. Each bar stool and counter chair is built with ergonomic proportions, high-density foam padding, and curved backrests or seats that support the body naturally.

Our upholstered bar stools and padded counter chairs are ideal for extended dining or social gatherings, whether in a home kitchen or professional hospitality setting.

4. What materials are used in your bar chairs and counter stools?

We use only premium, long-lasting materials such as oak, walnut, metal, and brass accents. Upholstered designs can be finished in velvet, linen, wool blends, performance fabrics, or natural leather, all chosen for durability, touch, and aesthetics.

Every component — from structure to finish — is crafted for daily use and timeless appeal.

5. Are these stools suitable for restaurants, hotels, and hospitality projects?

Yes. Our bar stools and counter chairs are contract-grade, engineered for high-traffic environments like restaurants, hotel lounges, and bars. Their frames are tested for stability and longevity, while the finishes and fabrics are selected for easy maintenance and resistance to wear. All of the designs are customizable to meet project specifications.

6. Can I customize the dimensions, finishes, or upholstery?

Definitely. Customization is at the core of Nolita Harbour’s craftsmanship. You can tailor dimensions, leg finishes, seat materials, and upholstery fabrics to perfectly fit your project or interior concept. We also offer bespoke foam densities and stain options for wood, ensuring each piece aligns with your aesthetic and comfort preferences.

7. Are the bar stools available with or without backrests?

Yes, our collection includes both bar stools with backrests for enhanced support and backless stools for minimalist spaces or compact kitchens. Backless models are ideal for tucking under a counter, while designs with backrests offer more comfort for longer seating sessions.

8. What is the most durable material for a bar chair?

For heavy use, solid wood or metal frames are the most durable options. Oak and walnut provide strength and timeless beauty, while metal or brass bar stools offer excellent structural integrity. For hospitality environments, upholstery in high-performance fabric or treated leather adds both comfort and resilience.

9. Do you offer matching dining chairs or complementary pieces?

Yes, we offer a coordinated collection of dining chairs, armchairs, and lounge seating designed to complement our bar stools. This allows for visual harmony across different spaces — from kitchen islands to dining areas and hospitality lounges.
