Within Magis Stools, the Steelwood stool brings the collection’s signature dialogue between timber and metal into a compact backless format for contemporary interiors. Available in h. 68 cm and h. 78 cm, it adapts naturally to counter-height and bar-height surfaces while maintaining the same clear architectural profile. Solid beech legs give the structure warmth and tactile depth, while the steel-plate seat and footrest, finished with polyester powder coating, introduce a precise industrial contrast. Conceived for indoor use, this backless wooden bar stool suits kitchens, cafés, hospitality areas and refined residential settings where space efficiency and material character are equally important.

Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec and the balance of craft and structure

Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec shape Steelwood through a direct relationship between natural material and engineered detail. The wooden legs keep the stool visually grounded, while the steel seat and integrated footrest add definition and durability without making the silhouette feel heavy. The 68 cm version works particularly well at counters and kitchen islands, while the 78 cm version responds to taller bar surfaces and hospitality settings. Supplied with felt pads, the stool also includes a practical detail for suitable interior flooring, while an optional seat cushion is available and not included for projects that require a softer seating experience.

A natural partner for Magis Tables & Low Tables

The stool coordinates naturally with Magis Tables & Low Tables, creating balanced compositions for breakfast bars, shared counters and hospitality interiors. Finish options include Natural Beech 7011/White 5108, White Beech 7108/White 5108, Black Beech 7140/Black 5140 and American Walnut 7100/Black 5140, allowing designers to move from light tonal combinations to darker, more graphic schemes. As a counter-height stool or bar-height stool, Steelwood maintains a compact footprint that can sit neatly beneath suitable surfaces, helping preserve circulation and visual order in residential and contract environments.

Material clarity in the Steelwood design language

The Magis Steelwood Stool with solid beech legs, steel-plate seat and polyester powder-coated footrest reflects the contemporary design culture of Magis through a precise contrast between warm timber and crisp metal. The two available heights extend the same design language across different applications, while the optional cushion allows comfort to be adapted without altering the essential backless form. Whether specified as a wooden counter stool for a private kitchen, a refined metal and wood bar stool for hospitality or a compact seat for a design-led contract interior, Steelwood by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec x Magis offers architects, interior designers and hoteliers a sophisticated balance of craftsmanship, durable construction and functional flexibility.
