About this asset

This contemporary 3ds Max bar stool features a charcoal-stained wood seat and a slender metal frame with a circular footrest. This bar stool presents a refined silhouette, balancing industrial materials with a soft, circular geometry. The seat is crafted from solid wood, finished in a deep charcoal stain, and features four distinct radial grooves that converge toward the centre, adding a subtle tactile detail. The frame is constructed from slim, tubular metal legs in a muted grey finish, splayed slightly for stability. A matching circular footrest connects the four legs, providing structural rigidity and ergonomic support. The proportions are lean and intentional, suitable for high-counter applications where visual lightness is a key design requirement.
