Babila Barstool - Black | Online8 New Zealand The Babila bar stool in black is a solid ash, bar-height stool made in Italy by Pedrali and designed by Odo Fioravanti. A dished seat and powder-coated aluminium footrest sit at 750mm bar height, backed by credentials unusual at this level: a five-year commercial warranty, a 140kg user rating, GreenGuard Gold certification for low emissions, and FSC-certified timber. Why It Stands Apart Five-year commercial warranty: Warranted for normal commercial use, not just domestic, a far higher bar that tells you what the construction is rated to survive. Dished seat in solid ash: A carved seat that cradles rather than sitting flat, which is what makes a backless stool comfortable for more than a few minutes. GreenGuard Gold and FSC certified: Independently verified for low chemical emissions and responsibly sourced timber, rather than self-declared. Rated to 140kg: A stated maximum user weight considerably above the typical domestic stool. Specifications Colour Black Material Solid ash with powder-coated aluminium footrest Seat Height 750mm (bar height) Overall Size (W×D) 360mm × 360mm Maximum User Weight 140kg Warranty 5 years, normal commercial use Certification GreenGuard Gold, FSC Origin Made in Italy by Pedrali 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 from the floor to the underside of your benchtop and allow 250mm to 300mm of clearance above the seat. For a standard 900mm kitchen counter, the Babila Counter Stool has a 650mm seat instead. What weight can it hold? It is rated to a maximum user weight of 140kg. Is a backless stool comfortable enough for meals? The dished seat makes a considerable difference, cradling rather than sitting flat, and it is the reason this design has stayed in production. For long formal meals a backed stool will still be more comfortable. What does GreenGuard Gold certification mean? It certifies that the product has been independently tested for low chemical emissions, to a standard strict enough for schools and healthcare settings. It matters most in kitchens and other enclosed spaces where you spend a lot of time. Can I see it? Please give our showroom a call at 09 278 8881 to check if this is on display.
