Like the Sputnik satellite the Sputnik bar stool has gleaming metal surfaces and looks like it is moving even when its not.  Angled, tapered chrome legs, a chrome rimmed round seat that can be upholstered in glittering Naugahyde Zodiac vinyls make this chrome bar stool the perfect seating option for any Space Age interior.
