Structure & Frame :

The 949/SI counter stool is built with a framework of solid ash wood, featuring the signature craftsmanship of the Minima collection. It is equipped with a specialized metal footrest, available in bronzed brass or satin gold, which provides structural reinforcement and a refined material contrast. This model is part of the 2024 collection expansion, designed to offer a "cozy and strong" seating solution for elevated surfaces.

Top & Materials :

This specific variant is characterized by its fully upholstered seat and backrest. The shell is padded with fire-retardant polyurethane foam, providing a softer and more enveloping experience compared to the all-wood versions. The upholstery is available in a wide selection of fabrics, leathers, or faux leathers from the Potocco catalog, allowing for a highly tailored aesthetic.

Shelves & Storage :

As a specialized high-seating solution, the 949/SI focuses on ergonomic support and structural integrity. The design follows a rigorous profile and features weighted details that ensure a stable and supportive experience. It focuses on the "mutual relationship" between the solid wood structure and the soft upholstered elements, maintaining a clean silhouette without the need for additional utility features.

Design & Aesthetic :

Designed by Mario Ferrarini, the counter stool embodies fluid and energetic lines. The aesthetic is defined by the seamless integration of the upholstered shell into the solid ash frame. It represents a reassuring and precise vision of design where the warmth of the wood meets the "sartorial" quality of the upholstery, resulting in a minimalist yet expressive form.

Functionality & Placement :

This stool is ideal for indoor residential use, such as high-end kitchen islands, or for contract hospitality projects like boutique bars and lounges. Its fully upholstered design makes it particularly suitable for environments where prolonged comfort is required, combining the durability of a solid wood base with the softness of a padded chair.

Finishes & Customization :

The stool offers extensive customization for the ash structure, available in standard stains like Pure Natural, Moka, and Walnut, or special colors such as Olive Green and Bluette. The upholstered shell can be personalized with any textile from the collection, and the footrest can be finished in bronzed brass or satin gold.

Dimensions & Configuration :

Model 949/SI 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.
