There's lots of things we need for the new place (believe me, the list is a mile long) but one thing I've found myself mulling over recently is the two stools we need for the kitchen counter. They need to be backless, and I'd rather they had an industrial edge as opposed to veering towards swish and modern. So, here's the shortlist -
The Tolix stool comes in a bunch of colours, including this raw finish, but no matter how lovely it is it costs an arm and a leg.
This is the Modern Times Factory Stool from the Sundance catalogue. I like the scale of this one, but I'm a bit iffy about the faux banged up finish on the base.
The Lyon Workspace Stool from CSN Supply is a low cost alternative to the Tolix, but we'd most probably have to have it sprayed since the grey is a little on the dullsville side.
Also from CSN Supply is the quite smashing Safco Diesel stool. I hafta say, this one is definitely a fave, and yep, CSN Supply does ship to Canada.
Finally, the brushed aluminum Spin stool from Crate & Barrel is edging it's way to the top of the list too.
