Upon Stool by Zilio A&C – A Minimalist, Versatile Bar & Kitchen Stool with Ingenious Design
A Contemporary Seating Solution with a Hidden Innovation
Designed by Sylvain Willenz for Zilio A&C, the Upon Stool reinterprets the elegance and functionality of the Upon Chair into a stylish, modern stool. The defining feature of the Upon collection is its seamless backrest connection—a form-pressed veneer backrest that appears to float on a contrasting metal frame with no visible fixings, thanks to a hidden internal joint.
This sleek engineering detail creates a lightweight, strong, and visually effortless stool, perfect for a variety of interior settings, from residential kitchens to high-end hospitality projects.
Two Heights for Versatile Use
The Upon Stool is available in two sizes, making it adaptable to different environments:
Bar Stool (H. 1115 mm / Seat Height 780 mm) – Ideal for bars, high tables, and commercial spaces.
Kitchen Stool (H. 1015 mm / Seat Height 680 mm) – Perfect for home kitchens and counter-height seating.
This variety ensures that Upon fits seamlessly into hospitality, workplace, and residential interiors, offering a sophisticated yet functional seating solution.
