ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR SET

This is the “Cook Island” bar stool, designed to be used in cafes. It’s COMMERCIAL GRADE seating- built to withstand basically anything anyone can throw at them. Even with solid use, these stools are built to last forever (not just one or two generations). Look at the construction quality here- this sort of quality is something I’ve never seen before (after 23 years in this business). There’s no timber joints- if you look at the underside, you’ll see they are virtually IMPOSSIBLE to break. (The full structure is steel- the timber pieces are clad onto steel.) This takes sustainability to a whole new level. You can easily pay more than our listed price for “standard” bar stools but these chairs have a level of quality and durability that’s virtually never seen in today’s world. This particular suite has been used by a busy family for 8 YEARS- but look at them! They have no signs of use that I noticed and they ALL present incredibly well- this just showcases the quality you’re buying here. I really love the aesthetic of these chairs as well. They have a fascinating resort-style with a sleek, refined quality that takes cues from vintage Danish furniture. There’s a real elegance at play here but with an interesting tribal twist. I love the sculptural quality, the tapered legs- and also the quality of this leather. This is A-GRADE leather and if you look after it, this leather will last several generations (if not forever because the leather is on the backs only and back leather in chairs will rarely show wear, if ever.) This is expensive, luxury furniture, designed to be used and loved- there’s no need to pander to this furniture- it’s as practical as it is beautiful. And at our price, about ONE THIRD retail, you’ll be getting a really astute investment too. The other big plus here is that there’s a matching SET OF 3- after 23 years in this business, I’ve learnt that a set of 3 bar stools is the most popular number of bar stools customers want. This further adds to the investment appeal here.

Further information about this design and Pacific Green Furniture

The “Cook Island” bar stool is a joy to behold. The craftsmanship- DONE BY HAND- is an absolute joy. The COMFORT is a joy- the backs are padded, the seats are sculptured- these are extremely comfortable chairs. You not only get comfort, quality, stunning design and durability with these chairs, but investment appeal too. If you look after these chairs I can’t see them losing any value in the future- you can’t readily buy chairs of this quality these days (and that’s the problem with this world at the moment- just chuck in ’em landfill- in the ocean- she’ll be right mate- use them up- trash them- then get rid of them so you never have to think about them again! …)

More information about Pacific Green (if you’ve read this far … keep reading about this fabulous AUSTRALIAN business!)

Pacific Green is one of the most inspiring brands in the world. It’s an Australian brand with humble beginnings starting back in the early-1970’s (as Post & Rail Furniture). Today in 2024, over 50 years on, Pacific Green is one of the most coveted furniture brands not only in Australia but the world. Pacific Green Furniture items in the USA can sell for DOUBLE what they sell for here. I’ve been dealing in pre-loved furniture for 23 years now- it takes a lot for anything to stand out to me these days but Pacific Green Furniture without a doubt is exceptional in every regard. I specialise in finding items found in Australia- I don’t go overseas and fill up containers to bring here. We have so much inspiring stuff here in Australia there’s no need to. In my years in this business I believe Pacific Green is the best furniture brand to ever come out of Australia. Tessa and FLER come close (but Tessa/FLER items tended to mimic what was done overseas at the time). Pacific Green does its own thing- their designs are distinctive, interesting, earthy, creative and certainly have “wow factor”. But stunning design is a small part of the appeal. The quality is exceptional. The CRAFTSMANSHIP BY HAND is exceptional. The ethos of Pacific Green is exceptional.

Pacific Green Furniture uses coconut timber for the manufacture of all their furniture. Coconut wood is a SOLID HARDWOOD- more resilient than virtually any timber- it thrives in areas battered by tropical cyclones. Pacific Green use abandoned plantations of coconut palm trees in the South Pacific that were commercially planted in the early-1900s but have reached the end of productive fruiting. Instead of going to waste, Pacific Green uses this valuable SUSTAINABLE resource.

But the best part in my eyes is that Pacific Green Furniture set a benchmark for modern, sustainable business for other businesses to follow. In the late-1980’s land was leased, not bought, to respect indigenous ownership. Their initial factory was built in consultation with surrounding villages and employed only local people. Business and skills training programmes were established. The initial factory is still OWNED BY FIJIANS- the drive of the business is Australian- the designing arm happens here in Australia.

I am inspired and heartened that a small Australian business changed tack the way they did back in the late-1980’s when ecological threats and socially-conscious business was barely thought of.

I love scouting to find exciting furniture. Furniture like this is the reason I do this job. Pacific Green Furniture ignites inspiration- PG ticks every box and proves that businesses can be successful, ecologically responsible and socially-aware. Pacific Green Furniture has been built to last and will continue to tell stories well after you and I are gone- just like Post & Rail furniture already has. Pacific Green Furniture will be the antiques of tomorrow. There’s no better way to invest in your home and reduce landfill.
