The Danetti guide to buying a bar stool

CHOOSING YOUR BAR STOOL
View all Danetti bar stools
There’s a huge amount of variation in style and quality when it comes to bar stools. Daniel Smith, owner of Danetti, says the first thing you need to consider is the height of the stool you are buying: “There are two standard heighs of counter – 900ml and 1100ml, and if you buy the wrong heightstool for your counter, then you won’t be sitting comfortably!”
A great option is to go for a gas lift stool so the height is adjustable, meaning the stool can be used in different locations in your home or business. If you’re buying a bar stool for your home, or for a cafe where there are likely to be children around, then safety has to be a primary concern: “Bar stools are not advised for children,” says Daniel, “but if you are concerned that children may try to use them, then it is best to opt for either a fixed base bar stool that can actually be attached to the ground, or to get ones that have very heavy bases so they do not easily topple over.”
In terms of quality, Daniel says that good bar stools should have hard-wearing rubber or felt pads on the bottoms of the legs to protect your flooring. And if you want your stool to last, then either leather or faux leather will withstand spills and will be easy to wipe down. A strong plastic material will also stand the test of time very well.
Red bar stools give a cool retro look
Red bar stools are the classic interior design statement of a 1950s-style diner, and they’ve remained fashionable thanks to nostalgia and people wanting some old-school retro charm in their homes and restaurants. We stock many of our bar stools in red, so here we’re highlighting the best designs…
Bodoni gas lift bar stool
This stunning angular bar stool is very hi-tech looking, and would be right at home in a stylish and contemporary kitchen or a bar. The red faux leather gives it a slight retro feel, as does the round pedestal base.
The upholstered faux or buffed leather seat is supported by a strong and elegant chrome or satin aluminium frame.
Sitting by the breakfast bar has never been made more comfortable with the design of the deep seat and supportive backrest and the rectangular foot support is ideally placed so you’re never left with your feet dangling!
Also available in this range is the Bodoni Bar Stool and the Bodoni Dining Chair.
Pod Gas Lift Bar Stool
The gas lift pod bar stool is sleek, ultra modern and very comfortable,
with a chrome base, steel frame and tough yet comfortable plastic seat.
This stool with its moulded curves and shiny construction would not look out of place in a modern art gallery, but we can also imagine it in a retro-inspired cafe or diner. It’s great for this kind of setting because the plastic seat is totally wipe-cleanable so will stay looking fresh for years.
The gas lift feature means you can be sitting high and mighty at your bar and then sitting comfortably at the right height for a dining table!
Florenta bar stool
The Florenta is a simple but attractive piece of furniture designed by Fabio Di Bartolomei and suitable for commercial use.
Complete with a retro-style curved seat, arm and back rest this bar or kitchen stool comes in a variety of eye catching colours, including red.
It’s all perched upon a chrome frame which includes a foot rest for maximum comfort and a circular base in chrome or aluminium satin for stability.
The seat is made from high quality polyurethane and as gas lift adjusts to varied heights, making it a very versatile seating choice.
This is a ’special order’ product with a delivery time of 4-6 weeks.
4. Elario bar stool (available in retro red)
If you are looking for that retro but stylish look then the Elario is the bar stool you need. The Elario stool consists of a chromed steel tube frame and an upholstered seat with an attractive chromed band.
Available with several options including faux or real leather, the round shape and vibrant colours combined with the chromed steel the design of the Elario is reminiscent of the 60s we reckon.
Our matching bar stools and chairs
Sometimes only a co-ordinated look will do for your home or business. Danetti’s Charlotte Laing highlights some great matching bar stools and dining chairs…
If you want a slick, expensive-looking interior scheme, you want you pieces of furniture to be from the same range so that everything looks harmonious.
It’s especially important if you’re furnishing a commercial space like a bar or restaurant – having matching bar stools and chairs, for example can make the difference the place between ’so-so’ and ‘wow’.
Below are some of our most popular matching chairs and bar stools – from the ultra modern acrylic to the more traditional upholstered leather.
Coco A Frame bar stool, matching chair available
1. The Coco range
This retro-styled modern classic is a friendly shape which would look amazing in a bar or cafe. The gantle curves make it really comfortable, and the stainless steel frame / base makes it a very designer-looking choice.
Coco A Frame chair, matching bar stool available
The Coco A-frame seat (which features on both the chair and bar stool versions) features an attractive retro-styled UV-resistant multilayer composite technopolymer shell. Available in solid black acrylic or transparent red, orange, green or smoke acrylic.

2. The Domi range
The Domi is a chic, sophisticated and very glossy-looking range, with a padded back and seat and an elegant chrome frame. The bar stool has foot rests all the way around.
Domi bar stool, matching chair available
It’s the perfect choice for a really classy bar or club environment, and could really help to set the tone in your venue. It’s also a great choice for a home breakfast bar or kitchen seating.
The upholstery is faux leather, a serviceable and practical choice, and is available in a huge range of colours.
This is Italian furniture at its best, and very hard-wearing – just what you want in a busy commercial environment, or in your home for that matter.

Furniture ideas for small spaces
When you have lots of space to play with, you hardly have to give a thought to your furniture choices, but furnishing a small home can be a lot trickier. You’ll have to measure every dimension and find pieces that will fit the most awkward of gaps. At the same time, you have to bear in mind that it’s important to have some floor space free so your home doesn’t become too cramped.
At Danetti we’re used to helping people furnish their homes – both big and small, and we love the challenge of sourcing items that will help to make your living space a much nicer place to be.
We thought we’d draw your attention to a few of our pieces that are either so neat in proportion that they look good even in tiny flats, and also to a couple of our multi-functional products that save space because they can be used for different purposes.
Bodil sofa with metal arms
COMPACT SEATING
First up, we wanted to show you the Bodil sofa – it’s fantastic for small living rooms because it doesn’t have the enormous padded arms that you find on many sofas, which can take up a metre of your valuable space if you’re not careful – instead it has neat metal arms. The seat and back rest is just as comfortable as a regular sofa though.
Emery contemporary nest of tables
OCCASIONAL TABLES
Next, a modern nest of tables – the Emery set – which are very useful in small homes. While you may think of nests of tables as something your grandmother used to have for putting bowls of peanuts around the living room at Christmas time, they’ve moved on, and are still actually a useful thing to have if you need extra surfaces when you have people over, but want them out of the way the rest of the time. The Emery nest of tables is fantastic value for money and has three tables, each with a chrome frame and glass top.
The stackable Silvi plastic bar stool
STACKABLE STOOLS
If it’s seating that you need, then consider bar stools – these Silvi plastic bar stools are cool, contemporary and great value for money, plus they’re stackable so they’re a great temporary seating solution if you have a party or friends over, but can be compactly stored when not in use.Generally, bar stools can be a very good idea if you have a small home. When teamed with a wall-mounted slim-line bar table, they can provide you with somewhere to sit for meals without taking up much floor space.
The versatile Somen coffee table - use as a table, for storage or as a stool
THREE-IN-ONE
Next, take a look at this tri-purpose product – it’s a stool, table and storage unit all in one! The Somen coffee table can be opened to store magazines, toys, blankets, or whatever you like, and it can be flipped over to make a comfy padded stool. It’s ideal for modern homes, and it’s a very popular option for our commercial clients as well, as it’s ideal for bars and clubs.
The Pollock multi-form extending table - closed
SHAPE SHIFTER
Flexibility is important in a small home – sometimes you’ll need a large dining table, but probably not all the time, and when you don’t need one, you don’t want it dominating your room. A great option is to go for an extending table. The Pollock Multiform table is amazing because it can be used as a coffee table, extended to make a formal dining table , or even just half extended, so you have two separate surfaces – great for parties!

Creating a contemporary wine bar interior: Danetti case study
We always like to champion our commercial customers, large or small. We love being able to help them create stylish and functional interiors and will happily showcase the end result on our blog.
We’ve just caught up with a recent client of ours, Andy, who runs Champers wine bar in Eastcote Middlesex.
He did a partial refurbishment of Champers using Danetti furniture, with sofas, chairs and bar stools in a combination of mulberry and cream upholstery, and says that the result is chic and sophisticated.
“We didn’t want to do a full refurb, just an update – we kept the same bar and flooring, so we wanted new furniture to give the place a new look.
“We chose the mulberry and cream colour scheme to compliment the Farrow & Ball paint we were using on the walls, and the result is a sophisticated interior, which we’ve had very positive feedback on from our regulars.
“We think the Danetti furniture definitely creates a good first impression at Champers, which is really important to us.”
If you want to check out the new furniture at Champers, or enjoy a cocktail or a bottle of wine and some live music (which is probably more likely, if we’re honest), then you can find out more about the place here, or visit them at 184 Field End Road, Eastcote.
We’ll try to get a few pictures of Champers on our blog in the near future.

Buy seats for your home or business in party political colours!
In the wake of yesterday’s general election the political map of the UK is looking like a particularly colourful patchwork quilt – with blue, red, yellow and for the first time green seats.
We thought we’d pay a tongue in-cheek tribute to the election by showing you our favourite blue, red, yellow and green seats. Which one gets your vote?
Blue Emo chair
BLUE
These delightful brightly coloured polypropylene dining chairs which we call Emo are guaranteed to cheer you up.
They’ve got a simple, modern look, and have been ergonomically designed so you get superior comfort and lumbar support.
The chair is all moulded polymer – which means there are no screws, joints or stress points to cause instability.
They’re great used indoors or outdoors, and can be neatly stored away when not in use as they stack up to 10 chairs high.
You can mix and match colours to create a fun interiors scheme.
Coco flat chair in red
RED
The Coco flat chair is a retro-styled modern classic, with a friendly informal shape which will give any space a very cool vibe and make it a place you want to be.
With its gentle curves, semi-transparent material and smooth texture, we think the Coco will fit into any home or work environment, and would be great for use in waiting areas, bars and cafes.
This version of the Coco is the pedestal chair, which has an attractive UV-resistant multi-layer composite acrylic shell, mounted on a swivel and gas-lift pedestal with a sturdy circular base.
Orla bar stool in yellow
YELLOW
The Orla bar stool is a new take on an old theme.
From the front the Orla may look like any other square bar stool, but viewed from the side the angle of the seat and frame becomes apparent and creates an eye catching piece.
You can imagine a line of Orlas in a bar or nightclub, the angled upholstered seat drawing the customer to sit.
The Orla stool has four legs in a chrome finish and the upholstered seat is available in a variety of colours.
The Orla bar stool is sturdy enough for the commercial environment, but would look equally good in the modern domestic interior space.
Kiri chair in green
GREEN
The Kiri chair, designed by Philippe Stark, is a unique piece of furniture.
It is a stackable polypropylene chair suitable for outdoor use. It comes in a range of colours and looks great in a wide range of locations.
The stackability is handy for space-saving storage and transport, making it a great choice for gardens, pubs, cafes and outdoor events.

Orange bar stools, dining chairs and sofas
As the weather starts to brighten, it’s the perfect time to let a little bright orange into your home or business – use it in a completely bright colour scheme with yellows and limes or royal blue, or in an otherwise neutral colour scheme as a pop of accent colour.
Here are a few of our favourite orange pieces on Danetti right now …
Coco A frame dining chair
We love the retro-styling of the Coco A frame chair. With its gentle curves and smooth textures, the Coco fits into any home or work environment, as well as waiting areas, bars and cafes. It’s available in solid black acrylic or transparent red, orange, green or smoke acrylic. It looks great when placed near a window as the light streams through, making the colour glow.
The Podo plastic dining chair comes in orange
The Podo dining chair is a beautiful piece of modern dining furniture that’s simple and stylish as all contemporary furniture should be. It’s made from Polypropylene and is available in many colours including white, black, red, orange green and blue. Buying a set of these plastic dining chairs will instantly revive a tired looking kitchen, dining room or restaurant and those in the know about design are definitely going to appreciate seeing a set of these when they walk through the door! Podo dining chairs are even hardy enough to be used in an outdoors, and are easily stackable when not in use.
Spartan bar stool in orange
3. Spartan bar stool
This retro bar stool is perfect for any funky club or cafe, or for the home as part of a contemporary kitchen breakfast bar area. The strong chrome legs that extend from the padded seat add a futuristic feel to the stool and make it really stable and comfortable to perch on. This stool is available in various colours of faux leather including juicy orange, as pictured.
The Alto flat duo bench - beautiful contemporary furniture design
4. Alto flat duo bench
This is one really good looking piece of furniture, we think you’ll agree.

Funky bar stools are ideal for teenage girls’ bedrooms
Glam: the Bermuda faux leather swivel bar stool
If you have a teenage daughter and you’ve ever had the honour (or should that be misfortune?) of having a group of teenage girls getting ready for a night out in your home, you’ll know the scene all too well: hair straighteners plugged into every power point, clothes, glitter and lipgloss strewn everywhere, hair-dryers blasting and girls sat on beds, tables and the floor.
If this sounds familiar, we’ve got a product suggestion that may make the night out preparations a little more ordered and sophisticated. Our glam faux leather bar stools will transform the bedroom into a mini beauty parlour, the girls can sit on them and have their hair and makeup done by each other while perched in front of the mirror. Bar stools which swivel are best as the girls can turn around as the straighteners or tongs are used on all sides.
We’ve just started stocking a very funky bar stool called ‘Bermuda’ – it’s faux leather and comes in white or black with a gas-lift base for adjusting the height, a 360 degree swivel and a supportive back. It’s a great value option too, so we think it’s the ideal product for making a home beauty parlour.
The only trouble is, your home will become the most popular place for all the girls to get ready, so be prepared!
