Mid-Century Howard-Shaver Barstools by Arthur Umanoff- set of Four

For those who appreciate understated vintage style with just the right amount of edge, this set of four swivel bar stools attributed to Arthur Umanoff is a dream come true. Constructed entirely of black iron, these stools feel clean and minimal—but look closer, and the design details start to sing.

The iron backrests feature a honeycomb-inspired pattern that adds just enough texture and visual interest without overwhelming the sleek silhouette. This subtle geometric detail gives the stools an open, airy quality while still providing supportive comfort for lounging and conversation.

Each seat is outfitted with smooth black vinyl upholstery—an ideal material that balances durability and retro charm. The swivel function adds a dynamic touch, perfect for bar-side chats, casual dinners, or just shifting with ease to join the conversation.

These stools are practical without sacrificing personality. The iron frames are both sturdy and gracefully proportioned, with rounded footrests that double as visual accents and ergonomic support. It’s the kind of design that feels intuitive—beautiful, but also built for daily living.

Their compact design and monochromatic palette make them especially versatile. They’ll pair equally well with raw wood, stone, or marble countertops, and fit comfortably into industrial lofts, mid-century kitchens, or sleek contemporary homes that crave a little vintage texture.

What sets these apart is their ability to blend into a space without disappearing. They quietly elevate the room with an air of thoughtful design, showing off their vintage heritage while still feeling relevant and fresh.

In short, this set delivers exactly what you'd want in a timeless seating solution: comfort, style, craftsmanship, and just enough design drama to keep things interesting. These are stools that do more than hold a seat—they hold space.
