The bar stool to plan your kitchen around

Danish Bar Stools in Dark Ash with Oak Brown leather.

Peter Brown’s Danish Bar Stool, made to order in Adelaide since the early 1960s.

If you’re planning a new kitchen, the island is where everyone will gather, and the stools are the piece the whole household uses every day. They’re worth choosing at the same time as the benchtop, not after it.

The Danish Bar Stool was designed by Peter Brown for TH Brown in the early 1960s, and it is still made to order in Adelaide today. Its sculpted seat back, angular solid timber frame and hand-stitched Italian leather look as at home in a new kitchen as they did more than sixty years ago. It is TH Brown’s best-selling piece.

Choose it your way

Three things to plan for

  1. Bench height. Measure your finished benchtop before you order, and allow roughly 25–30cm between the seat and the underside of the bench.
  2. Allow about 60cm of bench length per stool, so a 1.8m island seats three comfortably.
  3. Every stool is made to order, so order about eight weeks before your kitchen is finished. Allow longer over summer, when the factory takes its break.

Made to last

Each Danish Bar Stool is hand-finished in Adelaide, individually numbered and supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity and a 10-year structural warranty.

“The Danish Bar Stool has been pulled up to Australian kitchen benches for more than sixty years. People choose it for the look and keep it for generations.” — Toni Briggs-Brown, ReFounder and sole owner of TH Brown
