Burgess Teak & Black Vinyl Bar Stools, Set of Three — 1970s

Three Burgess bar stools from the 1970s, pairing warm teak frames with hard-wearing black vinyl seats.

Three is the useful number at a kitchen bench — two feels sparse along a run of counter, four crowds it. The compact footprint means they tuck under properly rather than sitting proud, which is where most vintage stools fail in a modern kitchen.

Teak and black vinyl is the combination that has aged best from the period. The vinyl takes daily use where fabric would have gone long ago.

A genuine piece of Australian mid-century design, ready to use.
