Harlestone Stools

Seating you can move

Harlestone curved stools in single and two tone upholstery. Low, backless and light enough for one person to pick up, which is what makes them useful in a space that changes through the day.

The advantage of no back

A backless stool has no front, so it works from any direction. In a breakout space where a group forms and reforms, that means seating that adapts rather than seating people have to work around.

It also stacks visually: a row of low stools does not block sight lines the way a run of armchairs does.

And the limitation

Nobody sits on a backless stool for an hour. These are for short stops and informal groups. If people will settle in, they need sofas and armchairs or modular seating with a back to lean on.

The honest use is as flexible extra seating alongside proper soft seating, not instead of it.

Curved for a reason

The curved form lets several stools group into a loose circle without leaving gaps, which is how they end up used in practice. Two tone versions let you break up a large group visually.
