Calder Counter Stool

Poised and architectural, this stool brings mid-century elegance to the everyday ritual of gathering around the counter.

Product Description

A natural extension of the Calder silhouette, The Calder Counter Stool distills mid-century modern style into something sculptural, elevated, and deeply livable.

Its wraparound back curves into a slim profile, giving structure without visual weight. The brass and wood frame grounds the piece: a solid matte black base supports plated brushed brass arms that wrap the seat like a tailored cufflink. The plush, off-white velvet seat and backrest offer a sense of ease and contrast—softening the sharp lines with touchable texture.

With a 26-inch seat height, The Calder Counter Stool is designed to pair perfectly with kitchen islands and counter-height surfaces in transitional or modern spaces. It’s the kind of 1950s-inspired stool that feels equally at home in a city loft or a curated, coastal home.

Style Advice from Rachel Blindauer

I use The Calder Counter Stool when I want to add quiet sophistication to a kitchen without relying on trend-driven shapes. It balances beautifully against quartzite or marble countertops and looks especially sharp when paired with clean-lined cabinetry and aged brass fixtures. The off-white velvet acts like a neutral, while the brass and black base give the room structure and polish. If you want to echo the look in the dining room, the Calder Dining Armchair makes a perfect pair.
