HELP: KITCHEN STOOLS

I am regularly approached for "a word" of design advice. What would YOU do in this and that case?
This is not a rare occurrence and as flattering as it is to be asked, giving advice for a space you usually have not seen is at best tricky.
Hence, this column: 
I will post  general advice in answer to non site-specific questions I have been asked. 
You may participate, of course. 
That would be so much fun. 
Just keep it relatively general, if you could. 


LES TABOURETS DE CUISINE

Noelle:  I have been looking for kitchen stools. I want them comfortable and stylish, and have enough panache to make a statement. Any ideas?


Comfort: You are right to make it a priority; as for most seating, padding and a back makes the difference; in case of stools and as people spend a lot of time at the kitchen island here, eating, chatting, checking emails etc.(I much prefer a large table and regular height chairs) 2 other qualities to look for are the ability to swivel and to adjust up and down. I think some of the following pieces definitely fit the bill.
COMFORT


STYLE
INDUSTRIAL
VINTAGE

If you have a topic you may want me to analyze or any design question you would like answered, let me know at un petit commentaire below. It would be so much fun for me to put my 2 cents in. 

au revoir.
