Billiani Stools

Billiani Stools

Billiani’s stools are designed as natural extensions of its wooden chair families, translating the same craftsmanship into bar and counter seating for hospitality, office, and residential interiors. Built from solid wood with either wood or upholstered seats, they are made to handle daily use while still feeling refined. In our experience, what really sets them apart is how light and sculptural they look compared to how solid they feel once you sit down.

These stools show up everywhere from corporate offices to restaurant bars and hotel counters. They have been used in projects such as PayPal in India for a corporate setting, Myfair Grill at the Mayfair House Hotel & Garden in Florida for hospitality, and Restaurant La Maruca in Spain. Seeing the same stools work across such different environments says a lot about their versatility.

Role, Use Cases, and Construction

Billiani positions its stools primarily for bars, restaurants, hotel counters, cafés, and kitchen islands. Many models are offered in both counter bar stools and bar height stools, which makes specification easier when a space includes multiple surface heights. What we can tell you is that having matching stools at different heights makes a space feel far more intentional.

Construction typically relies on solid beech or other hardwoods with stained or lacquered finishes, paired with plywood or upholstered seats. Frames are engineered for intensive contract use while maintaining a handcrafted look with visible joinery and cross-bracing. Retailers often highlight these as handmade Italian pieces with customizable finishes and fabrics for design-led interiors.

Key Stool Families and Popular Models

Several major stool families define the collection. The Croissant Stool and Croissant Barstool feature a curved, wraparound back with a solid wood frame and upholstered seat, visually tied to the Croissant chairs and tables through shared design details. The Doll Bar Stool extends the Doll family into bar height with the same soft, rounded silhouette and slim legs.

The Load Bar Stool brings a cleaner, contemporary wood form with an upholstered seat, while the W Barstool 607 is one of our customer favorites, known for its graphic, refined wood structure and strong design presence. We have seen designers return to the W stools again and again when they want something architectural without being loud.

Family Logic and How Designers Specify Them

On professional spec platforms, Billiani groups stools as part of the wider seating families rather than standalone products. This allows specifiers to carry one design language from dining chairs at tables to matching stools at counters. It also makes it easy to coordinate stools with Billiani chairs and Billiani lounge chairs in the same environment without visual clashes.

Dealers typically provide dimensions, weights, designer names, and material data so architects can quickly drop these into FF&E schedules. Designers often compare Billiani stools alongside other counter bar stools from different makers, especially when durability and wood craftsmanship are priorities.

How They Fit Into Broader Interiors

Billiani stools are widely used in restaurant and hotel bars, café counters, kitchen islands, and contract lounge or coworking counters. Their combination of soft curves and precise geometry helps them sit comfortably next to both classic wood interiors and more contemporary spaces. That blend is a big reason Billiani continues to be associated with respected high end furniture brands in both commercial and residential projects.
