Thonet Piano Stool For Sale on 1stDibs
At 1stDibs, there are many versions of the ideal thonet piano stool for your home. Each thonet piano stool for sale was constructed with extraordinary care, often using wood, bentwood and beech. Your living room may not be complete without a thonet piano stool — find older editions for sale from the 19th Century and newer versions made as recently as the 20th Century. When you’re browsing for the right thonet piano stool, those designed in Art Nouveau, Art Deco and Mid-Century Modern styles are of considerable interest. You’ll likely find more than one thonet piano stool that is appealing in its simplicity, but Thonet, Thonet-Mundus and D. G. Fischell produced versions that are worth a look.
How Much is a Thonet Piano Stool?
A thonet piano stool can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price 1stDibs is $515, while the lowest priced sells for $221 and the highest can go for as much as $1,349.
Finding the Right stools for You
Stools are versatile and a necessary addition to any living room, kitchen area or elsewhere in your home. A sofa or reliable lounge chair might nab all the credit, comfort-wise, but don’t discount the roles that good antique, new and vintage stools can play.
“Stools are jewels and statements in a space, and they can also be investment pieces,” says New York City designer Amy Lau, who adds that these seats provide an excellent choice for setting an interior’s general tone.
Stools, which are among the oldest forms of wooden furnishings, may also serve as decorative pieces, even if we’re talking about a stool that is far less sculptural than the gracefully curving molded plywood shells that make up Sōri Yanagi’s provocative Butterfly stool.
Fawn Galli, a New York interior designer, uses her stools in the same way you would use a throw pillow. “I normally buy several styles and move them around the home where needed,” she says.
Stools are smaller pieces of seating as compared to armchairs or dining chairs and can add depth as well as functionality to a space that you’ve set aside for entertaining. For a splash of color, consider the Stool 60, a pioneering work of bentwood by Finnish architect and furniture maker Alvar Aalto. It’s manufactured by Artek and comes in a variety of colored seats and finishes.
Barstools that date back to the 1970s are now more ubiquitous in kitchens. Vintage barstools have seen renewed interest, be they a meld of chrome and leather or transparent plastic, such as the Lucite and stainless-steel counter stool variety from Indiana-born furniture designer Charles Hollis Jones, who is renowned for his acrylic works. A cluster of barstools — perhaps a set of four brushed-aluminum counter stools by Emeco or Tubby Tube stools by Faye Toogood — can encourage merriment in the kitchen. If you’ve got the room for family and friends to congregate and enjoy cocktails where the cooking is done, consider matching your stools with a tall table.
Whether you need counter stools, drafting stools or another kind, explore an extensive range of antique, new and vintage stools on 1stDibs.
