Product Insights
At 650 CAD and in stock across three colourways, the Ash Square Stool by Studio Super Sunday is a compact 13 x 13-inch slab on four round column legs, 18 inches high, built from 100% solid white ash sourced locally in Québec and finished with a matte water-based varnish that will amber over time. Its design lineage is the slab-and-column architectural reference; ash is the traditional chairmaker's timber, letting the slim cylindrical legs read light without reading fragile. Material performance is specific: Janka hardness of 1,320 lbf, above red oak and cherry, a 1.6 T/R shrinkage ratio that keeps the solid 13-inch seat from cupping or twisting, and hard, shock-resistant grain that resists dents, scratches, and cracks through daily use as a seat or side table. The open ash pores stay visible and tactile rather than smoothing shut. The tradeoffs are height and natural variation: at 18 inches the seat is too low for a standard counter and too tall as a footrest for a standard sofa, though it is level with sofa seating and clears a 29-30 inch table; solid white ash guarantees the species, not uniform density, so pieces vary in weight and hardness. Small scratches in the water-based film spot-repair, deeper damage needs sanding and refinishing, and care is warm water or wood-formulated cleaner with immediate drying, no harsh chemicals or standing moisture.
Verified claims
- Design language
- Renders the slab-and-column system as a 13x13 slab on four column legs
- Finish
- Protected by a matte water-based varnish that will amber over time
- Colourway
- All three colourways share the same 18-inch size and 650 CAD price
- Height and use
- At 18 inches the seat is too low for a standard counter but level with sofa seating and clears a 29-30 inch table.
- Footprint
- The 13 x 13-inch top and 18-inch height give a compact footprint, identical across all three colours.
- Janka hardness
- Solid white ash rates 1,320 lbf on the Janka hardness scale, above red oak and cherry.
- Seasonal movement
- Ash's 1.6 T/R shrinkage ratio keeps the 13-inch solid seat from cupping or twisting.
- Grain
- Hard, shock-resistant white ash resists dents, scratches, and cracks through daily use as a seat or side table.
- Density consistency
- Solid ash guarantees the species, not a uniform density; weight and hardness vary piece to piece.
- Surface texture
- The seat and legs keep visible, tactile open ash pores that will not smooth shut over time.
- Repair
- Small scratches spot-repair; deeper damage needs sanding and refinishing.
- Natural variation
- Solid white ash guarantees the species but not a uniform density, so pieces vary in weight and hardness.
- Care
- Clean with warm water and a cloth or wood-formulated cleaner; dry immediately, no harsh chemicals or standing moisture.
- Repairability
- Small scratches in the water-based film spot-repair; deeper damage needs sanding and refinishing.
- Sourcing
- 100% solid white ash, sourced locally in the Québec province.
- Timber selection
- White ash chosen as the chairmaker's hardwood so the slender legs stay shock-resistant.
- Material consistency
- Solid white ash varies in weight and hardness from piece to piece.
- Design lineage
- The slab-and-column architectural reference, built as a 13-inch top on four round legs.
- Construction
- Ash is the traditional chairmaker's timber, so the slim cylindrical legs read light without reading fragile.
- Footrest
- At 18 inches this is a seat to sit on with feet flat — too tall as a footrest for a standard sofa.
