Several kingdoms in Africa had and still have traditions of using stools as thrones. One of the most famous of these, the Golden Stool of Asantihan in Ghana, was the cause of one of the most famous events in the history of colonized Africa, the War of the Golden Stool between the British and the Ashanti in 1900. The Ashanti tribes were dissatisfied with the situation that had developed after the last conflict with the actual seizure of the country, but the catalyst for the uprising was the attempt by the English governor Lord Hodgson to seize the Golden Throne of Ashanti, which is a local symbol of power and independence. The British never captured the Golden Throne. It was hidden deep in the jungle during the war and, despite the best efforts of the colonial administration, was not discovered until 1920.

Features of using stools for the kitchen
- The main advantage of using stools is the ability to easily transport the stool to where you need it. The stool is quite light and you do not need to put much effort into moving the stool from one place to another, unlike a chair.
- Since a stool is much more compact than a chair, it is perfect for a small kitchen. Based on the fact that the stool is more compact, it will not be able to overload your interior.
- Stools go well with the rest of the kitchen furniture.
How to choose the right stool
The choice of stool depends directly on the interior of your kitchen, color scheme and purpose. If you have an ordinary, classic kitchen, then you should pay attention to classic and folding stools.
The photo shows a stool with four legs and linen upholstery, which suggests that it can fit well into a classic style.
If your kitchen has a more modern style, then more modern stools, such as bar stools or step stools, will suit you.
- If you are the owner of a studio apartment, then bar stools will fit perfectly into your interior and make it more functional. Bar stools come not only with one leg, but also with four. So, you don’t have to worry about the fact that the stools won’t suit the interior style of your apartment. Moreover, bar stools have height adjustment. This means that you are given the opportunity to adjust the height of the chair either to the height of your desk or to your height.
- If your apartment is made in more modern styles, such as neoclassical or empire, then a step stool is perfect for you, which can not only serve as a piece of furniture, but can also help you in everyday kitchen chores.
- Homeowners with more relaxed and traditional styles may want to consider folding stools. Such stools can complement your interior, but a certain disadvantage of such stools is that they will not fit into more sophisticated interiors.
When choosing even such little things as stools, you need to work hard, select them to match your interior, the remaining furniture and color scheme.
What does a modern kitchen stool look like?
Kitchen stools sold today rarely resemble the plank furniture that my grandmother had in the village. You can verify this by looking at photos of old kitchen stools on the Internet.
Stools are made from almost any material you can think of. For example, wicker kitchen stools. Wickerwork in pleasant colors combines the warmth of home with art, which today is embodied in such a small, practical piece of kitchen furniture.
Stools with a metal base look stunning in a modern kitchen setting. The rigor of this material, combined with the warm wooden seat, fits perfectly into the simple and elegant kitchen design that owners are increasingly choosing.
Metal stools
Metal stools will look much better than wooden models in many interiors. They are a good alternative to plastic stools, which can be quite expensive due to their often modern design.
Metal stools can be a little heavier, but for example, you can find chunky folding metal stools that will work great in a small kitchen while still looking very stylish.
Features and characteristics of designer stools
Designer furniture is not a cheap pleasure. Its peculiarity is that it will not leave anyone indifferent. You can admire or be shocked by unusually shaped structures.
The advantages of such products include:
- originality;
- exclusivity;
- high environmental performance;
- quality;
- functionality and comfort.
The disadvantages of such furniture are the price, which is several times higher than the average level, and the need for special care.
If we talk about such a product as a stool, then designers have come up with and created many original options. This is a simple piece of furniture, so the field for creativity is the supporting elements and seat, material, color.

At the same time, the product must retain its purpose - providing comfortable conditions for a sitting person.
Natural beauty

The Italian company Riva 1920 proposed to reuse briccoli - wooden piles from the Venetian lagoon. Sea-eaten briccols are strong enough to be used for making furniture and art objects. In addition, numerous irregularities and cracks make the material even more picturesque:

Elite To Be Hugу surprises and attracts attention. The stool is equipped with a sophisticated accessory in an industrial style - a handle made of colored rope, which not only ensures free movement of the stool, but also ironically contrasts with the naturalness of the product itself, giving a bright personality to a simple “piece of wood”:
Pictured: The Elite To Be Hug is equipped with a thick rope handle for easy movement. The model is made by hand. The structure consists of 4 glued elements, in two finishes. The pens are available in the following colours: white, black, red, English green and dark blue.
Where to buy stools for the kitchen
A fairly common question is where to buy stools for the kitchen? Everything is simpler than it seems. You have seas of options. Let's start with something simple - IKEA. IKEA has a lot of different decorative items for every taste and color.
But what to do if there is no IKEA in your city? Absolutely any furniture store will be happy to help you; there should definitely be one in your city. There you can find stools for every taste.
- If the IKEA option doesn't suit you, there are a couple more.
- For example, order stools for the kitchen from a master.
- If you have decided on the material for your future stool, then you should first find a craftsman (wood or metal) and place an order.
- Such a stool will be no worse than a store-bought one, and may even be unique.
For the last option, you need to have perseverance, since you can always make the stool that you want yourself. You just need to make a couple of clicks and you will already know all the intricacies of creating a stool with your own hands.
High-tech style stools

Just as flowing water turns into ice, melting aluminum can be modeled and turns into IGLOO. Reminiscent of the characteristic shape of Inuit dwellings, this stool has a natural, primitive elegance:
In the photo: the stylish Elite To Be Igloo is made of cast aluminum. Polished or satin finish.
Seat
The comfort of using a stool primarily depends on the seat. The seat can be round, square, oval or polygonal in shape.
All these options are considered classic, and the most convenient is the round shape, because... has no sharp corners.
Depending on the design idea, these seemingly simple solutions allow you to create a huge number of different models to suit every consumer’s taste.
