The barstool came into the furnishing scene in recent times, “borrowed” from the world of lounge bars to give a more social and convivial connotation to modern kitchens – that become kitchen island more and more, overlooking the living area. The stools for kitchen island are the ideal solution to exploit the top as a breakfast table, for snacks on the fly but also for romantic dinners.
