Designed to Delight

This stool's design will delight you and your friends. Whatever angle you view it from, this stool just looks great - a delightful twist in contemporary design. This is not just the designer's view. The Stave Stool has has won a major award - it was selected into the Tasmanian Wood Design Collection's permanent collection at its Biennial Grand Exhibition 2001. The Stave Stool was also judged the winner as "a furniture item with a major design component that is based on the sustainable application of Tasmanian regrowth or plantation eucalypt [and] designed for high quality manufacture and sale." The Stave Stool is currently part of "Aspects of the Tasmanian Wood Design Collection" which is now close to concluding its tourof regional Australia. The stool was named the Stave Stool because the laminated wooden legs reflect the shape of the staves used in wine barrels.  The innovative use of timber and stainless steel reflect the finely honed skills of the cooper's art.

A Popular Option  

Red Myrtle and Black Leather - The rich red colour of Tasmanian Myrtle is very much like American Cherry. This red wood used with black leather, adds a classic richness to a fun-loving sense of style.

Fun to Use

The Stave Stool is really convenient. At counter height, you don't have to climb up onto it or sit down low - you can move on or off easily. It becomes one of those really useful things. It is also easy to move because it is light and strong. It is effortless to pick up and move to whatever place suits you. Further, the stool top is round so that you can sit on it from any position. The foot ring suits any position as well.

Suits many situations

The kitchen, cafe, restaurant or bar - these can be demanding environments for furniture. The laminated wood stool legs are light and strong. Coupling wooden laminations with stainless steel brackets and foot rings makes for uncompromising quality that will continue to function as it should and still look good. The wood choices allow for colours to suit your decor or interior design. You can also enjoy the enduring soft sensual qualities of the best leather - no half measures - we use Elmosoft leather. An added benefit for commercial situations is that the upholstered top can be removed separately for easy recovering.

The benefits of wood

Not only can you enjoy the warmth and unique beauty of Tasmanian wood but the laminations are particularly light and strong.   Wood is also a great material from a sustainability point of view. You can enjoy the fact that the wood we use is drawn from sustainably managed Tasmanian forests. In addition, we use it carefully by using veneers and plywood - the maximum advantage is gained from the miniumum amount of material. By coupling wood with a stainless steel foot ring, we are using materials where thery are best suited. The result is that the Stave Stool's wood and metal components won't deteriorate significantly in either function or appearance, even with heavy use. As mentioned above, wood choices give you colour options to suit your special needs.
