Vico Duo Barstool is the bar-height version of the Vico Duo stacking chair designed by Vico Magistretti for Fritz Hansen in 1997. The design is characterised by simple, tight lines and a stylish veneer construction that balances visual elegance with the practical requirements of commercial-scale seating — stackability, durability, and adaptability across a range of interior contexts. Magistretti is said to have developed the design while sitting among his sketches in Fritz Hansen's design department, giving the piece a directness of conception consistent with its formal simplicity.
The bar stool version brings the Vico Duo's design language to counter and bar-height applications, maintaining the same veneer quality and structural logic as the dining chair versions while adapting the proportions to suit elevated seating. The design is well suited to both agile workspace environments and hospitality settings — a versatility that reflects the Vico Duo's intentionally broad application across different building types and interior contexts.
The Vico Duo Barstool is well suited to kitchen bar and counter settings in residential interiors, café and restaurant environments, hospitality bars, and workspace high-seating configurations. Its stacking capability supports practical storage and flexible arrangement in settings where seating numbers and configurations vary regularly.
