Alma Bar Stool Without Cushion

The Alma Bar Stool combines a solid teak frame with a woven rattan seat, standing 110 centimetres tall for counter or bar-height use. Left without a cushion, its silhouette stays clean and architectural, letting the contrast between structural teak and woven rattan carry the design without relying on added upholstery.

Pairing two materials in a single piece requires careful joinery where the rattan seat meets the teak frame, a junction that has to be both structurally sound and visually seamless. Balinese furniture makers building stools like the Alma develop specific expertise in combining hard and woven materials without either compromising the other, a skill refined through years of producing mixed-material seating for both residential and hospitality clients.

The woven seat brings a breathable, textured surface that stays comfortable through warm conditions, while the solid teak legs provide the stability and durability needed for regular use at a kitchen island or home bar, standing up to daily wear far better than lighter, less considered stools that flex or wobble within a year of regular use.

Its considered proportions also make it a practical choice for hospitality settings, where bar stools see far heavier daily traffic than residential furniture typically does — the Alma's solid frame and reinforced seat are built with exactly this kind of demanding daily use in mind.

For kitchens and bar areas built around bali furniture, the Alma offers a considered balance of structure and texture, its two-material construction bringing genuine visual interest to what might otherwise be a purely functional piece of everyday furniture.

Because the seat is left uncushioned, cleaning the stool after everyday kitchen use is considerably simpler than maintaining an upholstered alternative, requiring only a quick wipe rather than spot treatment or fabric care, a practical benefit for a piece positioned in one of a home's busiest, messiest rooms. Built to last through years of genuine daily kitchen use. A dependable, considered choice.
