Gapro Barstool

The stool that split the backrest. And made it the point.
There are bar stools where the backrest is simply support and there are bar stools where the backrest is the entire design decision — where the choice to divide, to separate, to leave a considered gap between two cushion pads creates the detail that makes the stool worth looking at from every angle. The Gapro was designed around that decision. Two independent square-rounded backrest pads in gorgeous fabric sit side by side on separate wooden uprights — the gap between them as considered as the pads themselves, the open air giving the stool the lightness and surprise of a piece that was designed to be different and knew exactly why. A timber border frames each backrest pad and the seat cushion — the thin wood reveal at every upholstered edge the detail that makes the junction of materials feel resolved rather than merely adjacent.
Wood brings the natural warmth and fine grain of honest timber to four splayed legs, the seat rail, and the backrest frame — the pale, consistent tone of the wood making the fabric appear more considered by contrast. A matt black metal cross-footrest connects the legs at the base — the single dark accent that gives the warm wood composition its point of precision. A barstool designed in India, for the home that understands the counter deserves a seat as considered as the room around it — and that the most memorable stools are always the ones that made one unexpected decision and committed to it entirely.
