Babila Barstool - Bleached Ash

Babila Barstool - Bleached Ash | Online8 New Zealand

The Babila bar stool in bleached ash is a solid-timber, bar-height stool designed by Odo Fioravanti for Pedrali. Bleaching lightens the ash itself rather than covering it, so the grain reads through in a soft, Scandinavian tone. A dished solid ash seat sits at 750mm bar height, carrying a five-year commercial warranty and a 140kg rating.

Why It Stands Apart

• Bleached rather than painted: The pale tone comes from lightening the timber itself, so the ash grain stays visible instead of disappearing under an opaque finish.
• Five-year commercial warranty: Rated for commercial rather than merely domestic use, a considerably higher standard.
• Dished solid ash seat: Carved to cradle rather than sit flat, which is what makes a backless stool workable for longer than a few minutes.
• GreenGuard Gold and FSC certified: Independently verified for low emissions and responsibly sourced timber.
• 140kg rating: A generous maximum user weight for reliable everyday use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it fit my counter or bar?
The 750mm seat suits a raised bar or high island of roughly 1050mm to 1100mm. Measure floor to the underside of your benchtop and allow 250mm to 300mm of clearance above the seat. For a standard 900mm counter, the Babila Counter Stool has a 650mm seat.

What weight can it hold?
It is rated to a maximum user weight of 140kg.

Will the bleached finish yellow over time?
Pale timber finishes can shift in tone with prolonged UV exposure. Keeping the stool out of direct sunlight where practical will hold the colour considerably longer.

Is a backless stool comfortable enough for meals?
The dished seat cradles rather than sitting flat, which makes a real difference. For long formal meals a backed stool will still be more comfortable.
