Babila Counter Stool - Bleached Ash

Babila Counter Stool - Bleached Ash | Online8 New Zealand

The Babila counter stool in bleached ash is a solid-timber, counter-height stool designed by Odo Fioravanti for Pedrali. Dropped to a 650mm seat for standard kitchen benches, its bleached finish lightens the ash itself rather than covering it, so the grain stays visible in a soft, pale tone. Backed by a five-year commercial warranty and a 140kg rating.

Why It Stands Apart

• Bleached rather than painted: The pale tone comes from lightening the ash itself, so the grain reads through instead of vanishing under an opaque coat.
• Counter height at 650mm: Sized for a standard kitchen bench rather than a raised bar, the more common New Zealand island height.
• Five-year commercial warranty: Warranted for commercial rather than merely domestic use, a considerably higher standard.
• GreenGuard Gold and FSC certified: Independently verified for low chemical 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 650mm seat suits a standard kitchen counter of roughly 900mm. Measure from the floor to the underside of your benchtop and allow 250mm to 300mm of clearance above the seat. For a raised bar at 1050mm or more, the Babila Barstool has a 750mm seat instead.

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

How many will fit along my island?
At 345mm wide they are compact, so allow roughly 500mm to 550mm of bench run per seat. Four suit an island of about 2100mm.

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 holds the colour considerably longer.
