Its elegant open-frame construction is defined by flowing curves, tapered proportions and carefully integrated supports, creating a bar stool that feels visually light despite its generous seating comfort.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAksel features a rounded upholstered seat and a separate cushioned backrest in a warm ivory textured fabric. The backrest appears almost suspended within the timber structure, leaving open space beneath it and emphasising the craftsmanship of the frame.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe most distinctive element is the sweeping timber rail that curves around the seat and continues into the rear structure. Combined with gently tapered legs and integrated cross supports, it gives Aksel an organic, almost continuous-line quality. The rich walnut-toned finish provides warmth and highlights the grain, making the stool particularly effective alongside natural stone, timber and softly veined marble kitchen islands.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFeatures\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSculptural upholstered bar stool\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eScandinavian Modern and Mid-Century Modern influences\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRich walnut-toned timber frame\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWarm ivory textured upholstery\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGenerously padded seat\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSeparate upholstered backrest for comfortable support\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSweeping curved timber surround\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOpen-back construction creates visual lightness\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSlender tapered legs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIntegrated front footrest\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAdditional structural cross rails for stability\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRounded edges and softly organic transitions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDesigned to look refined from both front and rear\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIdeal for kitchen islands, breakfast bars and luxury hospitality settings\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAksel's strength lies in its \u003c\/span\u003etimber construction\u003cspan\u003e. Rather than treating the legs, arms, back and footrest as visually separate elements, the frame uses flowing transitions and curved rails to create a much more unified silhouette.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe open spaces within the frame prevent a row of stools from appearing heavy around an island, an important consideration when several stools are positioned together. At the same time, the upholstered seat and backrest provide the softness needed for a comfortable dining environment.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIts combination of walnut tones and warm neutral upholstery is also highly versatile. Aksel can sit comfortably beside pale natural stone, dramatic marble, dark timber or contemporary cabinetry without losing its individual character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStyling Inspiration\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor a \u003c\/span\u003eScandinavian Modern\u003cspan\u003e kitchen, position Aksel along an island in pale limestone, honed travertine or warm white stone. Combine with natural oak or walnut cabinetry, softly plastered walls and simple opal-glass lighting. The stool's sculpted timber construction introduces warmth while retaining the visual clarity associated with Nordic furniture design.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor a more sophisticated \u003c\/span\u003eMid-Century Modern\u003cspan\u003e scheme, pair Aksel with dark walnut cabinetry, richly veined stone and globe or architectural pendant lighting. Introduce muted olive, tobacco, caramel or warm cream through artwork and accessories. The curved timber surround and floating upholstered backrest work particularly well with the organic geometry of the period.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAksel can also sit naturally within a \u003c\/span\u003eJapanese-Scandinavian (Japandi)\u003cspan\u003e interior. Combine it with restrained natural materials, pale textured walls, handmade ceramics and a minimal stone island. Keep the palette quiet and allow the timber grain and joinery-like construction of the stool to provide the decorative interest.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor a more elevated \u003c\/span\u003eModern Mediterranean\u003cspan\u003e kitchen, use Aksel against creamy limestone, warm plaster walls and softly aged bronze details. The walnut finish provides enough contrast against lighter mineral surfaces while the ivory upholstery keeps the overall composition relaxed and refined.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hide-show-pro-info\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension \u003c\/strong\u003e(W x D x H): 60 x 59 x 105 cm | Seat H 75 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial: \u003c\/strong\u003eSolid Wood | Fabric | Foam \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Designer Furniture Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66046115021149,"sku":"Y-BS26126","price":699.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0815\/9173\/0525\/files\/Bar-Stool-Aksel.jpg?v=1790364880","url":"https:\/\/www.designerfurniturecompany.com\/products\/bar-stool-aksel","provider":"Designer Furniture Co.Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
