Latte Bar Stool — Austins Latte Bar Stool - Austins

For the kitchen island that deserves more than a standard stool — walnut, cream, and polished brass in a form that earns its place at bar height.

Bar stools are overlooked. Most are treated as utility — something to fill the island space. I wanted to make one that you actually pause to look at. The brass armrests were the key decision: open metal bars that frame the sitter without a padded arm cap, which would have felt too heavy at this height. The walnut slatted stretchers at the rear give the back visual interest from across the room. Three materials — each premium on its own — harmonised by a warm palette that works in any kitchen or bar.

The Making of the Latte Bar Stool

Designed by Harsha

Fitting brass armrails precisely into walnut back posts at bar height — at the right angle and the right depth for ergonomic comfort — is the key craft challenge in this stool. Our Bangalore atelier calibrates this joint carefully across every unit, because a poorly fitted arm rail at this height is felt immediately by the person sitting at the counter.

01

Walnut Craftsmanship

Rectangular-section walnut-stained legs splayed for stability, with horizontal wooden stretchers between the rear legs — visible joinery that tells the story of how this stool is made.

02

Open Brass Bars

Polished brass armrests run from the back posts to a curved front return — an open frame that offers arm support without the bulk of a padded rail.

03

Brass Rod Crossbar

A single polished brass rod connects the front legs at mid-height — warm, gleaming, and the most-touched surface on any bar stool.

Frequently Asked

Before You Order

How long does it take to make the Latte Bar Stool?
6–8 weeks from order confirmation. We build one piece at a time — frame first, then upholstery, then a final hand-finish — so the timeline reflects real bench-time, not warehouse stock.
Can I customise the dimensions, leather, or wood?
Yes. Almost every dimension can be adjusted within structural limits, and the leather and wood swatches shown are starting points — speak to a designer if you'd like us to source something specific.
How does delivery work, and where do you ship?
We deliver across India with white-glove placement included. International shipping is available on request — our team will coordinate freight, customs, and last-mile placement at the destination.
What does payment look like for a custom piece?
A 50% deposit confirms the order and reserves your build slot in the atelier. The balance is due before dispatch. We'll share a transparent quote with material and labour breakdown after the consultation.
What if something needs repair years from now?
Every piece carries a lifetime craftsmanship guarantee. Reupholstery, refinishing, and frame repair are handled in-house — a piece built today can be brought back to the workshop a decade from now and restored.
