Description
Philip is the counter and bar stool for people who lean back. Seat and full backrest are upholstered in one continuous gesture over a slim welded steel frame, handmade in Sweden for kitchen islands, breakfast bars and home bars, in counter height (26 in / 66 cm), bar height (30 in / 76 cm) or any custom height through Design Your Own.
In Jade Black vegan leather on the black frame, Philip is a single dark silhouette, the most chair-like stool we make. The integrated backrest carries your lower back through a long dinner at the counter, the composite seat base keeps the upholstery taut year after year, and the slim frame still slides under the counter when the evening ends.
Designed by Alexandra Pettersson, Philip is an original by Crea, fully welded from raw Swedish steel in our Malmö factory, and it arrives fully assembled. Rated for up to 440 lb and covered by our 10-year warranty, it is built to be repaired rather than replaced, with spare parts available long after purchase. The 26 in seat suits counters of 35 to 36 in, the 30 in seat suits bars of 39 to 40 in, with full dimensions in the dropdown below. Stocked finishes ship from our Swedish factory within 1 to 5 business days.
“Philip is for the long dinners that end up at the counter. I gave it a full upholstered backrest so nobody has to leave the table early.”

Care & Maintenance
Fabric
Wipe down with a microfiber cloth, lukewarm water and neutral washing detergent. Do not use ph acidic or basic solutions like acetone or bleach.

Delivery, Returns & Assembly
Shipping
Shipping is calculated at checkout from your delivery address and the size of your order, so you see the exact cost before you pay. A tracking link reaches you by email the moment your order leaves our factory in Malmö, Sweden.
Delivery time
Orders to the United States are delivered by UPS, normally 2 to 5 business days after dispatch. Made to order pieces are produced first, and that production time is shown on this page.
Assembly
Most of our furniture arrives fully assembled. Dining tables and some outdoor pieces arrive with the top and legs packed separately, and fitting them takes 5 to 10 minutes and one screwdriver.
Returns
You have 14 days from delivery to request a return, provided the piece is unused and in its original condition. Email info@by-crea.com or open the chat and we will arrange it. Return shipping is paid by you at the carrier's actual rate, typically 15 to 20% of the order value, or roughly 35 to 100 USD per package depending on size and destination. We confirm the exact amount before anything is collected.
Custom orders
Anything configured through Design Your Own, with custom dimensions, finishes or materials, is produced specifically for your order and is not eligible for return. Order free samples first, or ask us in the chat, and we will help you get it right the first time.
FAQ
Choose the 26 in (66 cm) counter stool height for islands and counters around 36 in high, and 30 in (76 cm) for bars 40-42 in. Aim for a 9-12 in gap between seat and countertop; custom heights are available via Design Your Own.
One with a full backrest. Philip's backrest is upholstered to full height, so your whole back is supported through long dinners and working sessions. If you also want armrests, look at Bruno.
No. The upholstery is tailored and fixed over a composite seat base, which helps the seat keep its shape for years. Spare parts are available, so worn components can be replaced instead of the whole stool.
Wipe leather with lukewarm water, mild soap and a soft cloth; blot spills on velvet or bouclé quickly and avoid scrubbing. The steel frame needs only a damp cloth.
Philip is certified by RISE, Sweden, to EN 16139 Level 2, the European standard for intensive commercial use, and each seat is rated for a maximum load of 440 lbs (200 kg).
