Neu 12 Bar Stool is from HAY's Neu series — a collection characterised by a clean, uncluttered profile and a consistent formal identity that prioritises ergonomic quality and material precision over decorative elaboration. The bar stool version features long, slender solid wood legs that enhance and elongate the design's proportions while providing a warm, natural material contrast to the upholstered shell above. The shell is ergonomically moulded with a high, supportive back that provides meaningful back support during extended periods of bar and counter-height seated use.
An aluminium reinforcement under the seat adds structural strength and durability without adding visible weight or complexity to the design's clean exterior profile — a construction detail that demonstrates HAY's approach to engineering furniture that performs reliably in both residential and commercial use contexts. The upholstered seat is available in a range of fabric options from HAY's collection, and the solid wood legs can be specified in different finishes to coordinate with different interior material directions.
The Neu 12 Bar Stool is well suited to residential kitchen bars and counter settings, café and restaurant environments, and corporate or hospitality bar settings where a design-quality bar stool of ergonomic support and natural material character is required. Its high back provides a level of seated comfort particularly appropriate for settings where bar stools will be used for extended periods, and its clean formal profile makes it an effective specification across contemporary and more traditionally material-led interior contexts. The Neu 12's solid wood legs and upholstered shell provide a combination of natural material warmth and ergonomic support appropriate for both residential and commercial bar settings.
Available as a 2D DWG drawing and 3D model.
