Rhiannon Leather Bar Stool with Back

Named after Rhiannon, the horse-riding queen of the Mabinogion, whose birds could sing the dead awake and the living to sleep.

A tall stool with a plump round seat and a softly domed back in full-grain leather, made for kitchen islands and breakfast bars.

Choose your leather

Pick from twelve leathers and see your choice on the stool in 3D. Turn it to see it from any side; the frame shows the finish you choose. On a phone or tablet, tap View in your room and point the camera at the floor to see it at full size in your own room.

The 3D stool is a computer-generated image, shown at the standard 700 mm seat height, so colours and finishes are a close guide rather than exact. Every hide is natural and varies.

Each frame is cut and welded by hand in our West Wales workshop, then finished your way: raw steel with the welds left honest and on show, supplied with a pot of beeswax polish; smooth matt powder coat; or bright nickel or copper plate. The seat is upholstered by hand: the top panel rolls softly over the edge to a stitched seam, and the side band is joined front and back with neat stitched seams.

Finished as carefully behind as in front. The back is a single piece of leather pulled tight over a foam dome, so it curves gently from the centre to the edges, and it's fixed round the back with a band of nailhead trim. The steel T-bracket, welded and ground smooth, is fixed through it with neat black screws. At a kitchen island the back is the side the room sees, so we make it as tidy as the front.

Made to order at the seat height that suits your worktop, with the footrest always 485 mm below the seat, so it's comfortable at any height.

Care: wipe the leather with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away; keep it out of strong sun and away from radiators, and feed it with a leather balm once or twice a year. Raw steel frames leave our workshop treated with a moisture-repelling, rust-inhibiting oil, and come with a pot of beeswax polish for upkeep. Copper plate mellows and darkens naturally over time; polish gently if you prefer it bright. Nickel plate and matt powder coat need only a damp cloth.
