Our collection of upholstered stools is curated for both New Zealand hospitality venues and modern homes, offering a balance of comfort, durability, and design.
At Cintesi, our range is upholstered in high-quality vinyls, these stools provide a premium feel while being easy to clean and maintain perfect for kitchen counters, home bars, or restaurant and café seating.
Upholstered stools bring an added layer of comfort and refinement compared to all-metal or timber alternatives. For commercial buyers, vinyl upholstery is hard-wearing, stain-resistant, and quick to wipe clean, making it ideal for busy hospitality spaces. For residential settings, upholstered seats add warmth and a premium finish to kitchens or dining spaces.
Whether you’re designing a restaurant that needs to balance style with practicality, or you want to bring soft textures into a home kitchen, upholstered stools deliver on both luxury and functionality.
Here’s a sample of styles from our range, designed to suit different spaces and aesthetics:
Barry – A retro industrial-inspired stool with a steel frame and glossy vinyl seat, perfect for commercial bars or casual dining.
Clive – A modern style combining steel legs, timber framing, and a brushed vinyl seat for a sleek, versatile look.
Grace – A timeless timber frame with upholstered vinyl seat, offering durability with an elegant finish.
Archie – Backless, with timber legs and an upholstered seat, available in multiple finishes for versatile styling.
When selecting upholstered stools, keep in mind:
Comfort & Longevity – Upholstery offers a softer, more supportive seat for guests who linger longer.
Vinyl Finishes – Choose from plush, peached vinyls (as seen in Clive and Walter) or glossy finishes (Barry, Archie, Grace) to match your aesthetic.
Colour Options – Our upholstered stools are available in a variety of shades, so you can align with branding in commercial venues or add a pop of personality at home.
Pairing Across Collections – Many stools have matching upholstered chairs to create a cohesive look across dining spaces.
