Harlestone stools are curved, backless seats with an upholstered top, offered in a single colour or a two tone finish. They sit low to the floor and weigh little, so one person can carry them across the room. That makes them a natural fit for breakout areas in Irish offices, where the layout shifts through the day.
A stool without a back can be used from any side. When small groups gather, split up and regroup, the seats simply turn with them. Low stools also leave views across the room open, which a run of armchairs would block.
The curve is practical as well as attractive. Place a few side by side and they form a loose ring with no awkward gaps, which is how people tend to arrange them anyway. The two tone versions help break up a large cluster.
Backless stools are for short stays, not hour-long sessions. Think of Harlestone as handy extra seating next to proper soft furniture rather than instead of it. Where people will settle in, add sofas and armchairs or modular seating that gives them something to lean against, and see the full soft seating and reception range.
