Lem Piston & Kai Bar Stools: Bar

Stools that Sell themselves Like EuroFurniture and the Racana family, La Palma has achieved their success

over the years through hard work and a passion for fine quality furniture. For

over 30 years, the company has expertly combined metal with wood, leather and

other fabrics to create sleek contemporary pieces of furniture that achieve clean

fluid lines. High quality materials and carefully controlled manufacturing ensure

continued long-term customer satisfaction.

Romano and Dario Marcato founded La Palma in the late 1970s. Their

manufacturing facility in Padova, Italy is constantly researching new materials

and structural mechanisms to create a harmonious balance between style,

comfort and ingenious design. Talented designers from around the world

collaborate with the brand on lines of elegant and versatile furniture for the home

or business using a combination of natural wood, leather, metal, wicker and

glass.

The original classic Italian nature of La Palma’s furniture still holds great

appeal, with an emphasis on craftsmanship and style that is combined with a

modern simplicity which appeals to the senses – all cornerstones of Italian design

and production. La Palma’s blend of unique and modern design and aesthetic

appeal produces furniture with a strong personality and has seen contributions

from designers of international renown.

The brand’s success has also been recognized with a number of awards, including

the Good Design award, the FX International Interior Design Award and the

Design Plus award. It is La Palma’s commitment to high quality, unique designs

and customer satisfaction that is the foundation for the enduring relationship with

EuroFurniture and the Racana family.

The Racana’s have had a long-term love affair with Italian furniture due to its

unique ability to stay at the forefront of modern design and the ever-changing

needs of their customers. With Chris Racana constantly seeking the best in

imported furniture, it is no surprise that EuroFurniture has been featuring La

Palma designs for several years. La Palma offers two stools in particular that

have become not only a manager’s favorite due to their simplicity and style, but

also one of the top selling contemporary pieces at EuroFurniture.

The La Palma Lem Piston Stool has a distinctive, contemporary design that can

enhance a number of different environments. The La Palma Lem Piston is a high

stool that would be ideal for use in a skyscraper bar, modern restaurant or cafe

and easily enhances any home. Its slim lines create an aura of elegance and class

and yet make it easy to tuck away under a counter bar in an ultramodern kitchen.

Lem Piston Stools come complete with a swivel seat and the height is adjustable

by means of a gas spring. It is available in a large range of fabrics and finishes,

including a natural wood, leather, stainless steel or vinyl seat.

Designers Shin and Tomoko Azumi have brought innovation to a range of

products, from tables and chests to kitchen accessories to their Lem Piston Stool.

In the year of its release, the piece was named Product of the Year at the FX

International Interior Design Awards. It is an often copied or imitated stool, yet

the original Lem Piston displays far superior quality in its original rethinking of

the form and function of seating. Its slim base creates the illusion of floating free

from gravity and its overall appearance is one of visual lightness.

Another Azumi creation, the Kai Stool by La Palma, began as a project based on

Japanese paper folding (origami) – if you fold a piece of paper, you get a sharp,

clean edge, and if you bend it you get a gentle but tensioned curvature. The

Racanas appreciate this piece as this stool seamlessly blends style and refinement

while it molds comfortably to the sitter’s body. The Kai Stool with wood seat

brings a touch of the classic with its dark wood finishes and leather pad seat.

It is the unique and contemporary design that makes the Kai stool visually

interesting, especially the rear view. While resting, your stools will generally face

towards your counter or bar, and no one really sees the front of your stools. The

back of your stool, however, remains very visible so having this contemporary

bar stool with an aesthetically pleasing curved design will really give your

modern kitchen or bar a state of the art look. The Kai Stool upholstered comes in

a variety of colors to accent your home seamlessly.

The name KAI is of Japanese origin and has several meanings that could apply

to this fine piece of furniture. It can mean “seashell,” as in the two elliptical lines

defining the curve of the chair resembling an opening shell. KAI can also mean

“comfort” and “meeting” which will please any Feng Shui master as the kitchen

or dining area is often noted as the place of coming together. A final meaning for

KAI is “pioneer” as in a one-of-a-kind style that subtly defines the room it resides

in.

EuroFurniture is proud to offer these popular, unique and captivating pieces to

enhance you home.
