I love mixing warm woods with cool steel in a kitchen. My own kitchen is a bit of a mish-mash with wood cabinets, honed granite counter tops (made to look like soapstone) and stainless steel open shelves. I started it’s redesign a few years ago and though the bones are complete, it’s still a work in progress. These stools would feel quite at home in my kitchen and are so very affordable. I love the science room look in a residential kitchen. Learn more about them here.
FYI: Lyon did not pay me for this mention. I just thought they were really cool. Subtle cool.
