Small Stools, Flexible by Nature
A low stool is one of the most adaptable forms of occasional seating. Its compact proportions make it easy to move between spaces, providing an extra seat when needed without the visual presence of a full dining chair. Use one around a table, alongside a living space or wherever flexible seating makes sense. Huset’s collection brings together low stools from Ethnicraft, TON, Normann Copenhagen and Feelgood Designs, with each brand taking a different approach to material, form and furniture making.
Timber, Upholstered and Rattan Low Stools
Material can turn a simple stool into a distinctive element within a room. Wooden and timber stools introduce natural grain and warmth, with oak and beechwood represented across the collection. Upholstered designs offer a softer seat and an opportunity to introduce colour or texture, while woven rattan brings another material expression. The collection also includes contemporary stools made from alternative materials, offering more playful approaches to colour, surface and form. Consider how the stool relates to the furniture around it rather than assuming it needs to match.
Choosing a Low Stool
Think first about how and where the stool will be used. Seat height and width matter when using a low stool around a table, while weight and overall proportions become important if it will regularly move between rooms. If you need seating for a kitchen island or elevated counter, explore our Kitchen Stools and Bar Stools instead. For additional seating around the table, discover Dining Chairs or Dining Benches.

Frequently Asked Questions
A low stool is a compact seat that sits closer to standard chair height than a kitchen or bar stool. Designs vary in height and proportion, so check the individual product dimensions if you intend to use the stool with a particular table or surface.
