A study in lyric minimalism, the First Steps Bar Stool by Christophe Pillet for Flexform distils form to its essence. Its slim tubular metal frame, gently arcing into an integrated backrest, achieves visual lightness while providing sculptural structure—making it a refined silhouette in both residential and hospitality settings.

The handwoven seat and backrest, crafted in natural paper cord or paper rush cord, introduce tactile contrast and artisanal integrity. Rooted in Pillet’s philosophy of finding elegance in simplicity, this designer bar stool blends functional clarity with enduring warmth—offering a quiet statement for contemporary kitchen islands or elevated dining bars.
