Structure & Frame :

The Keel counter stool is born from a research project exploring the delicate balance between geometric rigor and organic sinuosity. Its primary skeleton is constructed from a linear steel rod, available in embossed finishes such as Anthracite or Aval. This metallic structure provides a slim, architectural profile that supports the stool's signature wooden elements.

Top & Materials :

The stool features a fully upholstered seat padded with fire-retardant polyurethane foam, which distinguishes it from the "Keel Light" version. The backrest is crafted from solid ash wood, showcasing a "very particular manufacturing process" that creates soft, sinuous shapes. This combination of industrial steel and warm, handcrafted wood draws direct inspiration from the nautical world.

Shelves & Storage :

As a specialized seating solution for elevated surfaces, the Keel stool focuses on structural harmony and ergonomic support. It includes a integrated footrest within the steel rod frame to ensure comfort at counter height. The design prioritizes visual lightness, making it an ideal choice for modern interiors where a sense of openness is desired.

Design & Aesthetic :

Designed by M+V, the 922/S model represents a sophisticated dialogue between materials. The name "Keel" refers to the structural backbone of a ship, a concept reflected in the way the curved wooden backrest seems to float while being firmly anchored by the linear metal rods.

Functionality & Placement :

This model is the lower version of the two stools, specifically designed for indoor counter-height surfaces. It is perfectly suited for luxury kitchen peninsulas, breakfast bars, or bistro-style hospitality environments where a blend of nautical inspiration and contemporary design is required.

Finishes & Customization :

The stool offers a high degree of personalization. The solid ash backrest can be customized with various collection stains (e.g., Moka, Carbon, Walnut), while the upholstered seat can be finished in a wide selection of fabrics, leathers, or faux leathers from the Potocco catalog.

Dimensions & Configuration :

Model 922/S features a seat height of 64 cm and a total height of 89 cm. It is part of the extensive Keel family, allowing for a unified aesthetic when paired with the 922 dining chairs, 922/L lounge chair, and the taller 922/A barstool. :
