Product Insights
Hand-built in Montreal by the co-founders, the Poincaré Stool combines an ash seat that absorbs daily impacts and resists stains with a powder-coated steel frame that resists corrosion and scratches, finished in matte white to conceal scuffs. Each stool is one-of-a-kind due to natural grain variations and visible handcrafting, arriving fully assembled with white-glove delivery. The tradeoff: the 24-inch seat height fits only 36-inch counters, while a 30-inch version serves bar-height settings.
Verified claims

- Durability

- Appearance & finish
- Pale ash and lacquer finish give monochrome look and spill resistance.
- Matte finish
- Matte white finish conceals scuffs and scratches, keeping the stool looking newer longer.
- Height compatibility
- 24-inch seat for 36-inch counters only; 30-inch version for bars.
- Delivery
- Arrives fully assembled with white-glove unpacking and placement.
- Workshop origin
- Handmade in Montreal by the co-founders in a made-to-order workflow, supporting local economy and reducing emissions.
- Uniqueness
- Natural ash grain and handcrafting make each stool one-of-a-kind, with visible tool marks and grain pattern variations.
- Wood care
- The ash wood seat resists wine and coffee stains when spills are wiped promptly.
- Steel care
- The powder-coated steel frame resists corrosion and impacts, conceals minor scratches, and can be cleaned with a soft cloth.
- Care resources
- Every stool ships with a care guide covering wood and steel care.
- Natural variation
- Each stool is unique and varies from the product photo due to natural ash grain and handcrafting.
- Visual harmony
- Pale ash wood and matte white steel create a seamless monochrome look.
- Tactile warmth
- Open-pore finish keeps the seat tactile, warm, and less slippery.
- Grain character
- Straight grain complements the stool's geometric lines; each piece has unique variations.
- Local production
- Handmade in Montreal with North American hardwoods; made to order, supporting the local economy and reducing shipping emissions.
- Height compatibility
- A 30-inch version is available for bar-height surfaces, while the 24-inch seat pairs best with countertops 36 inches high, leaving 12 inches of leg room.
- Cleaning restrictions
- Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasives on both the wood and steel finishes.
- Hospitality testing
- Commissioned for Montreal's Poincaré bar, the stool was designed to withstand heavy hospitality use, so it offers proven commercial durability.
- Dent resistance
- The ash seat is roughly 10% lighter than white oak yet just as resistant to dents, so it stays easy to move while surviving occasional dropped plates or ring indentations.
- Lead time
- Made to order with a 25-day lead time, so each stool ships directly from the workshop bench rather than long-term warehouse storage.
