Bombo Stools

Modern furniture is back on the rise. The retro 70's thing has swept decorating and style back to the future. It's true there were some nightmares in the retro closet. At the the same time there were some gems hidden there that are definitely worth reviving. Sleek modern styling, bright solid colors, and simple, elegant design were often blasted by the bad materials (synthetic clothes) and camp graphics (flower power). Get the fun and high quality into your home with a few bombo stools. These gems feature the best of sleek, simple, elegant modern design, combined with bright solid colors that will fit any decor. A bombo stool is a good way to introduce this comfortable and casual favorite without taking over your house. Guests will enjoy the backless chair and smooth shapes as they slip in and out of conversation around the bar or kitchen island.
