Timeless Scandinavian Design
Minimalist in form yet rich in craftsmanship, the Elbow Kitchen Bar Stool captures the essence of Scandinavian furniture design. Its sculptural oak frame, defined by smooth lines and organic curves, makes it a versatile piece that complements a wide variety of interiors. From light and airy coastal kitchens to contemporary urban homes, this stool has the ability to enhance the atmosphere of any room. Designed to be admired from every angle, it is not just seating but a statement piece that instantly elevates your kitchen space.
Solid Oak Timber Construction
Each Elbow Kitchen Bar Stool is built from premium solid oak, a material celebrated for its strength, durability, and natural grain. Oak is one of the most reliable timbers for high-use furniture, ensuring that your stools are able to withstand the demands of everyday life in a busy kitchen. A protective coating highlights the beauty of the wood while providing resistance to scratches and wear. Over time, the oak gently mellows in tone, developing warmth and character that adds to the uniqueness of each piece.
Everyday Comfort Meets Practicality
While its design pays homage to iconic Scandinavian style, the Elbow Kitchen Stool also delivers when it comes to comfort. Each stool includes a high-density foam seat upholstered in premium PU leather, providing a cushioned surface that is both supportive and easy to maintain. This makes it particularly practical for households where furniture is expected to be functional as well as stylish. The thoughtful placement of the footrest ensures proper ergonomic support, making these stools comfortable for everything from casual breakfasts and morning coffees to family dinners and evening drinks.
Designed for Modern Kitchens
The Elbow Kitchen Bar Stool has been specifically created for residential settings, making it an ideal choice for kitchen counters and breakfast bars. Its proportions are perfectly suited for modern bench heights, while its compact form allows it to tuck neatly away when not in use. This blend of design and practicality ensures that your kitchen remains functional and uncluttered, while still offering a warm, stylish place to gather.
A Lasting Investment in Quality and Style
Choosing oak timber kitchen bar stools is more than just a matter of filling space—it is an investment in design, durability, and everyday comfort. The timeless appeal of the Elbow Stool ensures that it will never go out of fashion, while the solid oak construction guarantees long-term use. Its ability to blend seamlessly with both contemporary and traditional interiors means it will continue to complement your home, even as your style evolves.

Hans J. Wegner
Hans Wegner stands among designers Finn Juhl, Arne Jacobsen, Børge Mogensen, Poul Kjærholm and Verner Panton as a master of 20th-century Danish modernism. More specifically, he was instrumental in developing a body of work known as organic functionalism. His early training included both carpentry and architecture, and in the early 1940s he worked for Erik Møller and Arne Jacobsen designing furniture for the Aarhus City Hall, in Aarhus, Denmark, before establishing his own furniture studio.
Until the 1960s, Wegner typically collaborated with cabinetmaker Johannes Hansen to realize his designs, most notably gracefully tapered and curved solid-wood chairs, often composites of wood and woven rattan or leather. He occasionally experimented with laminates, as in the Three-Legged Shell Chair (1963), or steel and oxhide, as in the Ox Chair (1960) for Erik Jørgensen. While he is best known for his chairs, Wegner has also created memorable cabinetry, desks, tables, beds and lighting.
The debut of the Peacock Chair (1947) at the Cabinetmakers’ Guild of Copenhagen was a turning point in Wegner’s career, and from then on his work was in demand. For years he was compelled to produce a new chair for the show each spring, designing such well-known pieces as the Folding Chair (1949), the Round Chair (1950) and the Flag Halyard Chair (1950), completing over 200 chairs in all. He frequently turned to traditional furniture for inspiration for his modern designs. The Chinese Chair (1944) draws on 17th-century Chinese seating, while the Peacock Chair, with its fanlike back, recalls the hoop form of the Windsor chair.
Over the years, Wegner perfected the design and production of his work, although the entire process remained lengthy. The Danish King, Frederick IX, waited two years for a four-legged Valet Chair (later versions had three legs) while Wegner tested the prototype at home. It is so-called because the hanger-shaped chair back is designed to keep a jacket wrinkle-free and the seat tilts up for use as a pants hanger, revealing a box for cuff links, keys and watches.
Wegner’s preferred method of working was to start with a sketch from which he would make a 1:5-scale model and then a full-scale model. Before beginning production, each piece of furniture was drawn at full scale on a single sheet, with the drawings – two elevations and a top-down view – superimposed on one another.
