Two official height sets
Minotti's product page gives the two stool heights as 67 and 80 cm. The technical sheet instead identifies the models as SEAT H69 and SEAT H82. Following the sheet, the selected taller drawing prints 55, 58 and 115 cm; those three values are not individually labelled with axes.

Footrest and covers
A satin-finished stainless-steel footrest receives Minotti's highly resilient PVD treatment. Fabric covers are removable; leather versions are fixed. Protective Hytrel glides complete the stool base.
Story
Aston at stool height
Rodolfo Dordoni extended the Aston seating language to a stool in two heights. The technical sheet identifies the versions as SEAT H69 and SEAT H82. Minotti lists the product in the 2014 Collection edition without assigning it a design year. Its solid-ash legs support a stainless-steel footrest treated with Minotti's PVD process. Fabric and leather versions differ in cover removability.
