Work Stools For Sale on 1stDibs

There is a range of work stools for sale on 1stDibs. The range of distinct work stools — often made from wood, metal and hardwood — can elevate any home. We have 334 antique and vintage work stools in-stock, while there are 41 modern editions to choose from as well. Work stools have been made for many years, and versions that date back to the 18th Century alongside those produced as recently as the 21st Century. Work stools bearing mid-century modern or industrial hallmarks are very popular at 1stDibs. Not every interior allows for large work stools, so small work stools measuring 1 inches across are available at 1stDibs. Work stools have been a part of the life’s work for many furniture makers, but those produced by Ama Elastik, Paul McCobb and Dafi Reis Doron are consistently popular.

How Much are Work Stools?

Prices for work stools can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — at 1stDibs, work stools begin at $0 and can go as high as $52,190, while the average can fetch as much as $2,441.

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.
