Spindle Counter Stool

$1,014

Made by Porro

Designed by Piero Lissoni

Piero Lissoni's Spindle distills the counter stool to its geometric essentials. The frame is built from ultra-slim chromium-plated steel rods, a construction that reads almost as drawing in space, reducing visual mass without compromising structural integrity.

The seat arrives in high-gloss white or black lacquer, crisp and sculptural against the metallic frame. The contrast between the warm reflectivity of chrome and the cool opacity of lacquer is deliberate, a conversation between two industrial finishes at their most refined.

  • Chromium-plated steel rod frame
  • High-gloss white or black lacquered seat
  • Stackable construction
  • Suitable for residential and contract environments

Lissoni's approach to furniture consistently favors proportion over decoration. Spindle is no exception: its silhouette holds its own in a spare interior and recedes gracefully in a more layered one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who designed the Porro Spindle stool?

The Spindle was designed by Piero Lissoni, the Milan-based architect and designer known for his rigorous minimalism and long-standing creative relationship with Porro. Lissoni has served as Porro's art director, shaping the brand's aesthetic direction for decades.

What materials are used in the Spindle Counter Stool?

The frame is constructed from chromium-plated steel rods, chosen for their structural precision and visual lightness. The seat and back are finished in high-gloss white lacquer, a pairing that contrasts metallic reflectivity with the clean opacity of lacquered surfaces.

Is the Spindle stool suitable for commercial or contract use?

Yes. The stackable construction and durable material composition make Spindle appropriate for hospitality, restaurant, and other contract environments, as well as residential settings. Its proportions and finish hold up equally well at scale.

Can the Spindle stool be specified in other finishes or colors?

Porro offers the Spindle in additional finish configurations beyond the glossy white lacquer. Specification options for contract or bespoke residential projects can be explored through direct inquiry.

How does Piero Lissoni's design philosophy inform the Spindle?

Lissoni consistently works at the intersection of architecture and product design, prioritizing proportion, material specificity, and the reduction of form to its most essential geometry. Spindle reflects this sensibility: the rod frame eliminates any visual weight that isn't structural, while the lacquered seat provides a precise, considered counterpoint.
