Walnut Altek Baba Bar Stools from Design Within Reach (DWR)

Beautiful Italian-made imported bar stools that were sold exclusively in the US through Design Within Reach. These are the bar height (30" seat) yet their sleek design avoids the heavy visual weight of most modern designs, but remaining comfortable and sturdy. A design classic in the 2000s and 2010s, these are now rare to find. You will find sets of 2 selling for $1000+ through resellers, so grab a design bargain here. Condition: they are over a decade old so there are signs of use. There are two notable scratches on one chair (pictured) and a scuff to the chrome (also pictured). This reflects their price. From the Manufacturer: Elegant, versatile, and timeless—the Baba stool by Altek Italia Design is a refined seating solution that blends minimalist aesthetics with ergonomic comfort. Designed by Sergio Mian, Baba features clean lines, a gently curved backrest, and a well-proportioned silhouette. Crafted entirely in Italy, Baba reflects Altek’s dedication to quality, durability, and sustainable craftsmanship. Its frame is made of high-resistance steel, available in chrome or epoxy powder-coated finishes. The seat and backrest come in multi-layered beechwood, offered in natural, stained, or upholstered versions—fabric, eco-leather, or genuine leather—providing broad customization options. Available in counter and bar heights, Baba is lightweight yet robust, designed for comfort and daily use in modern kitchens, cafés, and hospitality venues. With over 30 years of experience, Altek Italia Design partners with renowned designers to create contemporary furniture rooted in Italian manufacturing excellence. The Baba stool perfectly captures this approach—functional, stylish, and made to last. dimensions overall height: 100 cm seat height: 77 cm width: 48 cm depth: 43 cm
