The Coupe Bar Stool (75 cm) by New Works, designed by John Astbury, is a bold, sculptural bar stool defined by simplicity and geometry. The design originated from an almost naive sketch—a single vertical line intersected by three horizontal lines—inspired by the pared-back silhouettes of classic cocktail glasses and champagne coupes.
This simple starting point results in a bar 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 bar stool is crafted entirely from carbon steel. The solid steel emphasizes Coupe’s bold character, giving it a commanding presence in any space, while the simplicity of the silhouette creates a sense of visual calm and refinement.
With a height of 76 cm, this version is designed as a high bar stool. Coupe looks stunning at a bar or high table; thanks to its understated aesthetic, it fits seamlessly into modern homes as well as restaurants, hotels, and other commercial interiors.
About John Astbury
John Astbury designed Coupe out of a fascination with simple, recognizable forms. For this bar stool, he translated the essence of a champagne coupe into a functional piece of furniture, where material, proportion, and geometry define the design's identity.
