3 Contrasting Bar Stools Perfect for Cocktail Hour

1 Bardot by Gabriel Scott, $2313, at Hollace Cluny

The Canadian-born duo behind Gabriel Scott make their furniture pieces by hand in Montreal, drawing on their architecture, industrial design and jewellery-making backgrounds. Fittingly, the Bardot bar stool features a combination of brass, copper, nickel and black steel elements.

2 Phillips by Jader Almeida for Sollos, $4974, at South Hill Home

This corkscrew-shaped bar stool with a carbon steel, brass or stainless steel frame allows you to make easy height adjustments. Plus, its solid wood seat is kinda irresistible.

3 NA8 Norm by Norm Architects, $850, at Mjölk

Thanks to the marriage of powder-coated steel and solid oak, the four-legged Norm Bar Stool has a Scandinavian feel that will slide effortlessly into bars, hotel lobbies — and your home.
