Lio Barstool

$2,196

Made by Zanotta

Designed by Roberto Barbieri

Roberto Barbieri's Lio Barstool for Zanotta begins with a single die-cast aluminum element. That formal decision is the whole idea: one continuous form carries the structure, the silhouette, and the character of the piece without ornament or excess.

The result is a stool of genuine visual lightness, its essential profile reading clearly from across a room. A painted frame and upholstered seat bring warmth to the industrial precision of the casting, grounding Lio in the domestic without softening its point of view.

  • Formed from a single die-cast aluminum element
  • Painted frame with upholstered seat
  • Part of the Lio and Leo family, available in two heights
  • Suited to residential and contract environments

Lio belongs to a broader family that includes the Leo chair, both designed to share proportion and material language across different seating heights. It is an expression of Zanotta's long commitment to industrial craft used with restraint.
