Stools and bar stools

What springs to mind when you hear the words 'bar stools'? Lazy days spent soaking up the sun on the patio as you perch by the bar, cool drink in hand or fun family gatherings with seating for everyone? No piece of furniture is quite as versatile as the bar stool. Colourful plastic bar stools make an imaginative addition to outdoor spaces while chic high-backed seats can often be just the finishing touch you need in the lounge, study, conservatory or kitchen. It's sometimes hard to believe that contemporary style furniture of this calibre sprang from such humble origins. Stools were first used thousands of years ago when the basic design was little more than a simple round seat with three short legs. The classic X-style stool was inspired by the Roman curule and four-legged bench style seats were a natural extension of the form. A few hundred years ago, almost everyone used stools; high-backed chairs being the reserve of the rich and influential. Fast forward to the 21st century and there are covetable bar stools for every setting or occasion at Pacific Compagnie. The traditional low stool is still incredibly popular, for example, particularly when it's fashioned from premium materials and finished to perfection. Perhaps you'll like high bar stools with low backs that vie for attention with sleek, swivel seats and outdoor counter stools. These stylish seats look sensational when teamed with bars, consoles or long tables. Why not take a peek at our full Outdoor Furniture collection to see just how imaginative you can be with something as simple as a bar stool?
