Structure & Frame :

The Keel Light counter stool is an architectural extension of the Keel family, characterized by a slender steel rod structure available in embossed finishes like Anthracite or Aval. The design is defined by a sophisticated research into the relationship between geometric rigor and organic sinuosity, featuring a curved backrest in solid ash wood that provides a soft, tactile counterpoint to the rigid metal frame.

Top & Materials :

This model features a padded seat with fire-retardant polyurethane foam. The defining characteristic of the "Light" version is the rigid underlying shell located beneath the seat, which is painted and embossed in the exact same finish as the metal structure. This material choice creates a seamless, integrated look that reflects the craftsmanship and structural balance of the nautical world.

Shelves & Storage :

Focused on visual lightness, the stool offers a streamlined seating solution for elevated surfaces. It features an integrated footrest within the steel rod skeleton to ensure ergonomic comfort at counter height. The addition of the under-seat shell ensures a clean, finished appearance from every angle, removing any visual clutter from the stool's profile.

Design & Aesthetic :

Designed by M+V, the Keel Light stool is distinguished by a "light and sophisticated feature." The name "Keel" evokes the structural backbone of a ship, a concept mirrored in the way the sinuous wood elements intersect with the industrial metal rods. The matching under-seat shell adds a graphic, modern touch that harmonizes with the organic warmth of the shaped wood.

Functionality & Placement :

This is the lower version of the two stools, intended for indoor counter-height surfaces. It is an ideal solution for luxury kitchen islands, high-end bistro counters, or commercial hospitality spaces. For a consistent aesthetic throughout a property, the family also offers an outdoor version crafted in solid Iroko wood.

Finishes & Customization :

The stool can be tailored through a wide range of collection finishes. The solid ash backrest is available in various stains, while the metal frame and shell are finished in matching embossed paints. The seat can be upholstered in a vast array of fabrics, leathers, or faux leathers from the Potocco catalog.

Dimensions & Configuration :

Model 922/SMB features a seat height of 64 cm and a total height of 89 cm. It belongs to a comprehensive family that includes dining chairs, armchairs, and lounge seating, allowing for a unified and sophisticated design language across different functional areas of a project. :
