Mathilde Modern Upholstered Swivel Bar Stool with High Back

The Mathilde brings the supportive feel of a dining chair to the kitchen island with a high upholstered back, cushioned seat, and smooth swivel movement.

For shoppers comparing modern counter stools with backs, the Mathilde offers substantial support without the width or bulk of a stool with arms.

High Upholstered Back

The tall upholstered back gives you a comfortable place to lean and supports more of your back than a low-profile stool. Its simple rectangular shape looks tailored and modern without buttons, quilting, or decorative trim.

This is a true bar stool with a high back, making it a good choice for anyone who prefers chair-like support at the kitchen island.

Cushioned Seat and Back

Both the seat and back are upholstered, giving you padding beneath you and behind your back. The square seat provides a defined sitting surface, while the cushioned back makes it easier to settle in for more than a quick meal.

Among cushioned bar stools with backs, the Mathilde has a clean, uncomplicated appearance that works well in modern and transitional kitchens.

Choose from fabric, performance fabric, or easy-to-clean vinyl based on how your kitchen is used. A textured neutral keeps the stool understated, while navy, green, charcoal, or another deeper shade gives the upholstery more presence.

Swivel Seating for Easier Movement

The swivel seat lets you turn toward the counter, face the adjoining room, or get up without repeatedly pulling the entire stool away from the island.

Choose the swivel style that suits your space:

• 360-Degree Swivel: Rotates freely in either direction and stays where you leave it.
• Memory-Return Swivel: Turns up to 180 degrees and returns to its forward-facing position after you stand.

For anyone looking for a swivel bar stool with back support, the Mathilde combines easy movement with the comfort of full upholstery.

Chair-Like Seating for the Kitchen Island

The Mathilde is a good alternative to wider bar chairs for a kitchen island. It has the tall back and upholstered comfort of a chair, but without arms that require additional spacing between seats.

Its armless design also makes it easier to sit down from either side and arrange several stools along a longer island.

Slim Steel Frame

The Mathilde sits on a durable steel base with gently tapered legs and a circular footrest. The open frame keeps the stool from appearing heavy beneath the upholstered seat and back.

Choose black or charcoal for a crisp contemporary look, silver for a lighter modern direction, or bronze, champagne, or another warm finish for a softer transitional appearance.

Modern Style Without the Starkness

The Mathilde works naturally with:

• Flat-panel or Shaker cabinetry
• Quartz and stone countertops
• Black or brushed-metal hardware
• Upholstered dining chairs nearby
• Open-concept kitchens
• Modern and transitional interiors

Its upholstered surfaces soften the steel frame, making it inviting without adding ornate details. As a modern swivel bar stool, it feels current but not overly trendy.

Counter or Bar Height

Choose the seat height that fits your surface:

• Counter Height: For standard kitchen islands and counters approximately 36–37 inches high.
• Bar Height: For counters and home bars approximately 40–42 inches high.

For shoppers comparing upholstered bar stools at counter height, the Mathilde provides a high supportive back, padded seat, and convenient swivel movement.

Customize the Mathilde

The Mathilde is a strong choice for anyone looking for a modern, padded swivel bar stool with a high upholstered back, chair-like comfort, and a slim steel frame.
