Structure & Frame :

The 949/S counter stool is built with a framework of solid ash wood, introduced as a new addition to the collection for the Salone del Mobile Milano 2024. The structure is characterized by a precise and robust construction, featuring an integrated metal footrest available in either bronzed brass or satin gold to ensure durability and a touch of refined material contrast.

Top & Materials :

This model is presented with a seat in ash wood, emphasizing the purity and natural grain of the material. However, the stool belongs to a versatile family that offers various seating options, including Vienna straw, upholstered seats, or fully upholstered versions with fire-retardant polyurethane foam padding to meet different comfort requirements.

Shelves & Storage :

As a specialized high-seating solution, the 949/S focuses on structural balance and ergonomic stability. The design is a "reassuring project" that prioritizes a strong, stable presence at the counter, utilizing weighted details and a rigorous profile to provide a comfortable experience without the need for additional utility features.

Design & Aesthetic :

Designed by Mario Ferrarini, the counter stool embodies fluid and energetic lines. It translates the minimalist aesthetic of the Minima chair into a vertical form, where the architectural quality of the solid ash legs and the refined transition to the seat highlight Potocco’s mastery in traditional woodworking.

Functionality & Placement :

This stool is ideal for indoor residential use, such as kitchen islands, or for high-end contract hospitality environments like bars and bistros. Its robust nature and elegant silhouette allow it to function as a durable yet sophisticated seating option for contemporary social spaces.

Finishes & Customization :

The stool offers extensive customization for the ash structure, available in standard stains like Pure Natural, Moka, and Walnut, or vibrant special colors such as Olive Green and Bluette. The footrest can be personalized in bronzed brass or satin gold to coordinate with other interior metal accents.

Dimensions & Configuration :

Model 949/S features a width of 49 cm, a depth of 51.5 cm, and a total height of 97.5 cm. The seat height is 65.5 cm, specifically engineered for standard counter-height surfaces.
