New Classic: Jamaica Bar Stool
Add a Dose of Modern Metal With Disco-Inspired Counter Seat
Are you looking for a modern bar or counter stool that will amp up your home's style? Get to know the Jamaica bar stool. Originally designed by Pepe Cortes for a disco in 1991, the Jamaica bar stool has moved into many homes and adapted with ease. Its shape recalls a classic tractor seat, while the chrome-plated tubular structure and polished seat give it a futuristic look. This merging of old and new is a good lesson in how to make a design stand the test of time; 20 years later its still a top choice among designers.
The polished aluminum seats are a great match for sleek metal counters. The lighting track and the stools have a great relationship as well: The stools bring the material all the way down to the floor; the light track lifts it up toward the ceiling.
Likewise, the stool balances out the amount of metal in the room when there are stainless steel appliances and vent hoods.
This kitchen utilizes a lot of metallic finishes. The bulk of them are matte, while the stools, hardware and a few accent pieces are polished.
Not only are these stools physically light, but they also have a visually light silhouette. This makes them a superb choice for this light-filled and open living space.
In the greater context of this open floor plan, the stools also relate to the metal structure of the Brno chairs and the Platner side table.

The stools swivel 360 degrees, so you can take them for a spin or turn 180 degrees to make a graceful dismount.
Because of its light weight, a single stool can be dragged around to wherever you need it at the moment.
While outdoor use is not recommended for these stools, they are light enough to carry outside temporarily when the weather is nice.
