Vintage-Inspired Barstools

Stephen Kenn Unveils His Newest Piece, the Inheritance Barstool

Canadian designer Stephen Kenn has unveiled the Inheritance Barstool, his newest furniture design that borrows elements from his signature belted chairs, which feature replica Swiss Army belts fastened to a rough metal frame.

Here, however, Kenn offers a greater range of options to choose from. The new barstools arrive in a variety of materials and finishes. For example, the Inheritance Barstool comes in combinations such as vegan tan lather with a black steel frame or vintage military canvas with a stainless steel frame. That being said, all versions do come dressed with belt straps featuring large antique buckles. These belts are strapped to the stools giving the impression that they are holding together its component parts.

For those interested, the Inheritance Barstool is now available to order from Stephen Kenn's website.
