A quick google search for bar stoolsย will have you met with replica upon replica… and we can’t be the only ones who are tired of seeing replica Tolix stools absolutely everywhere! So to put a bit more versatility into our lives and to give a shout out to all those amazing Aussie brands, we’ve pulled together six more uniqueย stools for your breakfast bar.
Featuringย the bullet-proof combo of marble and timber, the clean linedย Marble Stool from Harpers Project is refined and raw. Multifunctional, it can be used as a stool in the kitchen or as a side table in the bedroom. It retails for $299, which is a huge bargain if you ask us!
Available in a range of timber finishes and base coatings, I personally can’t go past the Rex/Gem Stool in black and polished copper. Wow! Made by hand by TUCKBOX for $420, a foot rest can also be added upon request.
Outdoor friendly, the Volley Barstool ($850) from Tait is equally happy sitting courtside, next to all the action, orย relaxing on a terrace, soaking up theย summer sun. With a zinc-plated steel fame, mesh seat panel and rope handles, it can be powder coated in a variety of UV-stable colours. And for an extra level of comfort add an exterior seat cushion, available in a broad range of outdoor textiles.
Available in orange, black and mint green the Tall Baez Stoolย from Retrojan featuresย a slender iron frame and inset wooden seat. At $99 a piece, it is the perfect, affordable option for adding a pop of colour to your kitchen.
We hope you found this list useful. Please let us know who youโd add!

I recently purchased three barstools for my new breakfast bar from Melbourne carpenter, Lewis Dean Carpentry. They were custom made from recycled Victorian Ash and they are gorgeous! I count myself lucky to have stumbled across Dean’s stall at the Rose Street Markets on a recent trip to Melbourne. The stools are real feature pieces in my kitchen.
During our last Reno we invested in some bright yellow non replica Thonet stools and we LOVE them. Because of the quality we will be able to repaint/strip as our taste changes. But for now we still like the yellow with concrete/white benches!
Buy once and buy well Ellie! Nice choice!
