Like the Torii Chair, the Torii Counter Stool design is simple yet sophisticated and defined by its arched backrest. Its minimal appearance and simple construction hide a surprising amount of comfort and sturdiness. The name Torii comes from the characteristic wood entrance arches of Shinto shrines in Japan, which translates into English as “bird perch”. This motif perfectly describes the stools distinct proportions and traditional joinery. Sturdy construction ensures that critical joints will not fail or crack, while keeping the material thin and light. The finish gives the wood a natural open-grain appearance, which is smooth to the touch and durable. A solid aluminum foot rail protects the wood frame. Designed in Canada, the Torii Counter Stool is made in Italy to the highest standards of fine Italian craftsmanship.
