About this asset

This black metal industrial bar stool 3ds Max model features a minimalist circular seat and a slender, low-profile backrest detail. This industrial-style bar stool features a robust, all-metal construction finished in a matte black powder coat. The design relies on a slender, four-legged frame reinforced by a circular footrest ring that provides structural stability and comfort. A small, rectangular backrest is mounted on a single vertical support, offering minimal lumbar support while maintaining a clean, unobtrusive silhouette. The circular seat is smooth and slightly recessed, creating a balanced aesthetic that prioritizes utility. Its proportions are slim, making it an efficient choice for tight spaces where visual clutter must be kept to a minimum.

The download is a 3.2 MB compressed archive containing the native 3ds Max (.max) model, set up with Corona materials. Open it in 3ds Max with Corona installed; for other programs, export to FBX or OBJ from 3ds Max first.

When integrating this model into 3ds Max, ensure the pivot point is set to the base for easy placement on floor planes. The geometry is clean, allowing for quick adjustments to the material shaders if a different metallic finish or colour is required. Use the native scene units to scale the stool appropriately for standard bar or kitchen counter heights. Lighting should be adjusted to highlight the metallic sheen of the frame, perhaps using an HDRI to capture subtle reflections across the curved surfaces.

This stool is well-suited for contemporary kitchen islands, high-top dining bars, or commercial cafe environments. Its pared-back, industrial aesthetic pairs effectively with concrete, reclaimed timber, or exposed brick surfaces. Professionals searching for versatile seating solutions in modern residential or hospitality projects will find this piece useful for creating a cohesive, functional look. It serves as an ideal accent in open-plan spaces, providing necessary seating without dominating the visual field, and works well alongside minimalist cabinetry or high-contrast, monochromatic interior design schemes.
