The Flynn Horsehair Upholstered Drum Stool is Oakley Moore’s contemporary interpretation of a classic upholstered stool, handcrafted in the UK and upholstered in our striped horsehair textile designed in collaboration with the renowned British mill John Boyd Textiles.

Defined by its crisp cylindrical form and tailored upholstery, Flynn balances sculptural simplicity with exceptional materiality. The distinctive striped horsehair fabric lends subtle texture and movement, bringing depth and character to the stool’s architectural silhouette while maintaining a refined, modern profile.

Horsehair has long been prized in British interiors for its durability, resilience, and quiet lustre. Traditionally used in the upholstery of grand country houses and finely tailored furniture, it remains one of the most hardwearing natural textiles used in luxury furniture today. Woven using time-honoured techniques, the fabric retains its structure beautifully over time, allowing the stool to age gracefully while maintaining its integrity.

Compact yet versatile, our Flynn stool works equally well as occasional seating, a footrest, or an accent stool. Its clean proportions allow it to sit effortlessly across a wide range of interiors, from coastal to Scandinavian schemes, from contemporary to traditional spaces.

The result is a considered investment piece that reflects Oakley Moore’s approach to design, honouring heritage craftsmanship while shaping it for modern living.
