Know before you buy
The stool measures 29.5 inches from the floor to the top of the seat. It is designed specifically for standard counter-height surfaces, typically ranging between 35 and 37 inches.
No, the Naoshima Counter Stool is intended for indoor use only. Exposure to outdoor elements like direct sunlight or moisture may compromise the finish and the integrity of the beech wood.
The seat is engineered from four identical beech wood pieces that create a unique, curved silhouette. While the design is sculptural and firm, the ergonomic shaping provides a stable and supportive surface for counter-height seating.
The Naoshima Counter Stool is designed with structural integrity in mind, utilizing solid wood legs that connect directly to the seat. Please check the included assembly instructions, as some minor setup may be required to ensure the legs are securely attached.
To maintain the finish, simply wipe the stool with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap, but be sure to dry it immediately to prevent moisture from penetrating the wood.
