Bar stools built for comfort
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
When I decided to become a journalist, I swore I wouldn’t become the cliched tortured writer, hanging out at neighborhood bars, drinking beer (read: apple martinis), and recounting my journalistic conquests.
So maybe that explains my aversion to having bar stools in my home (a stretch, but work with me).
When my parents came to visit my new home, it was the absence of bar stools that caught my mother’s attention.
“You need stools,” she said.
OK. Fine. I need stools. But while streamlined styles, such as saddle stools, appeal to my minimalist sensibilities, they do not look very comfortable. Stools that anyone would want to sit in for any period of time need to have backs.
So I spotted these, by Marco Maran for Knoll, www.allbarstools.com, but they feel too big and bulky. And anyway, with the $651 price tag, I could afford, ohhh…one.
Any thoughts on where to find streamlined bar stools built for comfort?
