Both the Brooks and Allround chairs made a splash when they began shipping earlier in 2013. Now these popular collections are available as bar- and counter-height stools, adding to the already broad range of settings in which they can be specified.

The versatile Brooks chair combines clean, modern design elements with contemporary thinking about multi-use applications. Designed by English designer Paul Brooks, the Brooks is stackable and can be ordered with or without arms. Finishes include: fully upholstered; plastic seat/back; upholstered seat/plastic back; upholstered seat/wood back.

Created by Copenhagen-based design team Iskos-Berlin, the Allround achieves its appeal in a beguilingly simple fashion, with a sleek frame of round steel tubing and a plywood seat shell contoured for comfort. It’s a perfect option for dining, meetings, informal gatherings, and in fact, any activity that calls for a low-key, flexible chair.  It can be ordered with a completely exposed wood shell or one of three different upholstery options along with two back heights.

After the great reception to the Allround and Brooks introductions this past Neocon, the Stylex team decided to give both designs their own ad campaigns beginning in 2013. Below is a sneak preview of a couple shots that were captured as part of the promotional campaign…
