Description
Our unique Vinay counter chair is hand-carved from mango wood with beautifully woven jute panelling on the seat and back, adding both detail and comfort. Generously yet elegantly proportioned, it brings a warm and textured aesthetic to a bar or kitchen setting, but would look equally at home in a covered outdoor bar area. A relaxed piece whose craftsmanship reveals sophistication through its simplicity. Please note, a and is also available in the range.
Our Stylist Says
I’m a big fan of the Vinay stool for its straightforward design and natural woven seat - it feels both durable and inviting. The pale oak frame and neutral fibres make it a go-to choice for Scandi-inspired kitchens, relaxed coastal homes or any space where you want to introduce a light, tactile element without overwhelming the room.
For styling, pair it with a raw timber or painted island in soft grey or off-white, then layer a simple sheepskin or linen cushion for comfort and contrast. Group two or three along a counter, add some low-profile greenery in earthenware pots and you’ll achieve an effortless, lived-in look that works just as well for morning coffee as it does for evening gatherings.
