Quartered into bold black and white sections, the leather seat of this Kendari stool makes a graphic first impression from a teak frame finished in sleek matt black.
Some pieces draw the eye before you even sit down, and this Kendari stool is one of them. The seat is upholstered in smooth leather, divided into four equal sections alternating between deep black and crisp white — a graphic contrast that plays beautifully against the blackened teak wood frame beneath it. The monochrome palette is bold but disciplined.
Beneath the seat, the design is deliberately simple: straight legs and a clean single strut at the base keep the frame from competing with the upholstery. The balance between bold and restrained is nicely judged, and it means the stool works as a standalone piece without needing much else around it.
This stool works well wherever a bit of visual energy is welcome — at the end of a bed, in an eclectic hallway, or beside a home bar. The black-and-white palette is flexible enough to sit alongside most colour schemes without clashing.
