Classic Counter Stool
Classic geometry, woven by hand.
The Classic Counter Stool takes our signature solid timber frame and elevates it with a traditional rush seat weave. This complex pattern creates four distinct triangles that meet in the centre, adding visual depth and architectural interest to your kitchen island.
Handwoven in Wollongong from over 120 metres of continuous Danish cord, this seat is incredibly strong. The diagonal strands distribute weight evenly, creating a supportive, comfortable seat that holds its shape for decades.
Why it works:
- The Weave: The envelope pattern catches the light differently from every angle, creating texture that breaks up the flat surfaces of a modern kitchen.
- The Perfect Height: At 64 cm high, it sits perfectly at standard kitchen islands (90–92 cm) with ample legroom.
- Tucks Away: The compact footprint (33 cm x 33 cm) means you can slide these completely under your benchtop when you need clear walkways.

Living with Danish Cord
Danish cord is incredibly strong, but it is a paper product.
- Spills: Blot liquid immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub, as this can damage the fibres.
- Cleaning: Vacuum gently with a soft brush attachment to remove dust. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the cord.
- Wear: The cord will naturally relax slightly over the first few months of use, this is normal.
Timber Care
- Wipe down with a damp (not wet) cloth.
- Avoid placing the bench in direct, harsh sunlight or directly in front of heaters/AC vents, as extreme temperature changes can cause timber to move or crack.
