Orion Counter Stool by Villa & House

With a wrapped veneer and performance-grade linen, The Orion counter stool from Villa & House is equally parts beautiful and practical. Bronze sabots cap each tapered leg and the sloping, curved silhouette evokes casual luxury. The Villa & House driftwood finish is created with durable and sustainably farmed Cape Lilac Mahogany from Indonesia. Its grain—similar to oak—is wire brushed to emphasize the whirls and patterns. Then, the wood is stained with a background color and rubbed with cerusing pigment to contrast each ridge, creating a coastal finish. The result is a comfortable, modern, and curved counter stool that marries mid-century bent plywood designs with an Art Deco flair. It would be appropriate in a dining room, kitchen, or family room with a counter height peninsula. Because the chairs are casually formal, they’re the perfect choice for a beautiful island that is open to the rest of your living room or as a segue from your kitchen into an elegant living room.
