Bruno Bar Stool

Design your own

Description

Most stools ask you to choose from what exists. Bruno Design Your Own starts from a beige powder-coated steel frame with backrest, armrests and integrated footrest, and lets you build the rest: a cushion in vegan leather, bouclé or velvet across the full color range, sewn armrest covers or bare steel, in counter height (66 cm / 26 in), bar height (76 cm / 30 in) or any height you enter yourself.

Every choice renders live in 3D, your fabric on your frame, before anything is built. Because each made-to-order Bruno is welded and upholstered in Malmö, a custom bar stool with armrests is a configuration, not a compromise, and the result is a combination only you have.

Each stool is an original by Crea, designed by Alexandra Pettersson and fully welded from raw Swedish steel, and it arrives fully assembled. It carries 200 kg, is covered by our 10-year warranty and built to be repaired rather than replaced, with spare cushions and parts available long after purchase. Choose 66 cm for counters of 89 to 92 cm, 76 cm for bars of 99 to 102 cm, or set your own height. Made to order in our Malmö factory and shipped in 10 to 15 days.

“Bruno carries my father's name. He worked in our family's factory his whole life, and like him this stool is firm, steady and built to last.”
— Alexandra Pettersson

FAQ

The same rule applies as for any stool: 66 cm (26 in) seats suit counters 89-92 cm high, and 76 cm (30 in) seats suit bars 99-102 cm high. Keep 23-26 cm between seat and countertop; custom heights are available via Design Your Own.

Yes, by design. The armrests reach 86 cm total height on the 66 cm seat and 96 cm on the 76 cm seat, both below the recommended counter height for that seat (89-92 cm and 99-102 cm). That puts the armrests under a standard counter or island overhang without touching. If your overhang is unusually shallow, check the exact armrest height in the Dimensions tab against your own clearance first.

Armrests take the weight off your shoulders and make it easier to sit down and stand up, especially for longer sitting. Bruno is our only steel bar stool with armrests, combined with an integrated backrest and footrest.

The seat and armrest upholstery are tailored and fixed to the stool as one piece, so they aren't swapped independently. If it ever needs attention, our 10-year warranty and repair-over-replace approach cover it.

Wipe the upholstery with lukewarm water, mild soap and a soft cloth, and the powder-coated frame with a damp cloth. The vegan leather has an easy-clean protective finish and is rated to 300,000 Martindale.

Allow 55-60 cm of width per stool so the armrests never touch, and leave a few centimetres of clearance between the armrests and the counter edge when the stool is tucked in.

Yes. Order free material samples, or a single stool with free returns, and test it at your own counter before deciding.

Bruno is named after our founder Alexandra Pettersson's father, who spent his working life in the family's steel factory. Every Bruno is made in our own factory in Malmö, Sweden, with a 10-year warranty.
