Karen swivel bar Stool

Design

The Karen Swivel Bar Stool by Talenti brings a clean, modern attitude to the bar. A conical base wrapped in rope gives it a sculptural profile, while keeping the silhouette light. The padded seat turns with ease, so conversation feels natural and unforced. A gently curved backrest completes the line with a quiet confidence.

Proportions are balanced and purposeful: about 22 inches wide, 20.1 inches deep, and 35.4 inches high, with a seat height of 25.6 inches. The presence is substantial but not bulky. It sits close to the counter, looks considered from every angle, and pairs well in twos or fours.

Materials & Build

A solid wood frame anchors the piece; natural teak is the featured finish within the Karen collection. The base is sheathed in rope for a tactile layer and visual rhythm. Seat and back are clad in high-quality fabric. Nothing shouts, yet every detail reads deliberate.

Material pairings are offered with natural teak and fabric tones in taupe, gray, or green pine. This range makes the stool easy to place without chasing trends. Designer duo Ludovica + Roberto Palomba keep the construction honest, the lines crisp, and the engineering discreet.

Comfort

The seat is padded just right, with a cushion thickness of approximately 2.4 inches. Not too soft, not stiff. The curved backrest meets the body where support is needed and steps back where it isn’t. The swivel action helps with small adjustments—turn to the host, pivot to the view, return to the plate—without shifting the base.

At 30.9 lb, it feels grounded when sitting down or standing up. That weight contributes to the stable ride people appreciate at a busy counter.

Placement & Lifestyle

This stool settles comfortably at a kitchen island, home bar, or a quiet nook where a quick breakfast becomes a proper pause. It also suits refined hospitality settings that value calm lines over flash. The footprint—22 by 20.1 inches—slides under most counters and leaves room for a second or third stool without crowding. And because the profile is consistent all around, it looks as composed from the back as it does from the front.

It is not stackable by design, which keeps the structure intact and the aesthetic clear. A protective cover is available when the stool is not in use or needs to be stored.

Longevity

Quality materials do the quiet work here: wood for structure, rope for form and grip, fabric cushions for everyday comfort. Finishes are chosen to age with grace rather than shout for attention. The Karen Swivel Bar Stool from Talenti sits in the Icon catalog for a reason—it’s meant to be used daily and liked more over time, not fussed over.

One piece arrives per package, ready to stand its ground at the bar. Choose the tone—taupe, gray, or green pine with natural teak—then let it blend in or subtly lead the space. Either way, it holds its own, night after night.
