The bar stool offers classic styling with its low-backed wooden frame, drawing inspiration from 19th-century Captain's chair and Windsor chair designs. Its black finish provides a contemporary look, while the supportive back ensures comfortable seating. The 65cm height works well for breakfast bars, and the solid construction delivers reliable stability.
Old Furniture, a poem by Dorset born Thomas Hardy, is an ode to beauty of furniture being handed down the generations, and David Irwin''s Hardy Barstool is a classic in the making. Two chair typologies from the 19th century, Thomas Hardy''s birth century, inspired its design: firstly the Captain''s chair originally a low-backed wooden armchair and secondly, the Smokers bow, a low back Windsor, often used in smoking rooms, public houses, barbers shops and cottages.
