Leather X Stools

The X-base stool is one of the oldest seat designs in furniture, and it still earns its place today. Two crossed legs make a stable, compact base that takes up little floor space and looks good from every angle.

Our leather X stools pair that classic form with a handcrafted leather seat on a solid wood frame. The result is small but hard-working: a spare seat when guests arrive, a footrest by the sofa, or a side table that holds a book, a lamp or a tray of drinks. With its compact frame and no back, it moves easily from room to room.

These stools solve a common problem in smaller homes. When there is no room for another armchair, an X stool gives you extra seating without crowding the space. Tuck one under a console in the entryway, set a pair at the foot of the bed, or place one beside a reading chair as a low table. In larger rooms, two or three grouped around a coffee table create a relaxed, flexible seating area.

The leather top adds texture without visual weight. It looks at home in modern, mid-century, Scandinavian and rustic interiors, and the open X-base keeps the piece feeling light even in tight corners. Leather and wood also age well together: the leather darkens slightly and softens, while the wood keeps its natural warmth.

Care takes very little effort. Wipe the leather with a dry or slightly damp cloth, avoid long exposure to strong direct sunlight, and use a leather conditioner once or twice a year. Dust the wood frame with a soft cloth.

Each leather X stool is made by hand, so the stitching and the leather's natural markings vary slightly from one stool to the next.
