Paramore Swivel Counter Stool

The Paramore is a small, serious counter stool: one scooped slab of parawood on four splayed legs, finished in a brushed shale grey that reads closer to charcoal than brown. The seat turns a full circle on a hidden swivel, so you can sit down facing the kitchen and spin toward the room without dragging the legs across the floor. Four kickplates sit between those legs at the height your heels actually find. It belongs in a Portland kitchen that gets cooked in, not staged.

At 26 inches overall it is true counter height, not bar height, which is the difference between sitting at a 36-inch island and hovering over it. Use it at a kitchen peninsula, a compact dining bar, or a work counter in a small condo. Browse our bar and counter stools if you are mixing woods or pairing this with an upholstered seat.

Styling Tips

The grey-washed wood sits easily with walnut, white oak, or a painted island. Line two or three along a live-edge top, or mix them with upholstered dining chairs at a counter-height table so the room does not look like a matching set. Keep the rest of the dining room quiet: a simple pendant, a runner, and this scooped seat doing the work. The brushed shale finish hides daily scuffs better than a pale wood, which is why it works at a cash wrap or a family island that sees shoes and backpacks.
