Coupe Counter Stool 65 cm

New Works Coupe Counter Stool.

The Coupe Counter Stool (65 cm) by New Works, designed by John Astbury, is a bold, sculptural stool defined by simplicity and geometry. The design originated from an almost naive sketch—a single vertical line intersected by three horizontal ones—inspired by the pared-back silhouettes of classic cocktail glasses and champagne coupes.

This simple starting point results in a stool with a strikingly strong identity. Its clean lines and balanced geometry lend Coupe an architectural quality, while carefully considered proportions ensure the design never feels heavy.

The stool is crafted entirely from carbon steel. This solid steel construction underscores Coupe’s bold character, giving it a commanding presence in any space, while the simplicity of its silhouette creates a sense of visual calm and refinement.

With a height of 65 cm, this version is designed as a counter stool. Coupe looks stunning at a kitchen counter, and its understated aesthetic makes it equally suitable for modern homes, restaurants, hotels, and commercial interiors.

About John Astbury
