We love: This unique furniture and its woven leather details

Melbourne furniture design company Beeline Design is back with their second range. Titled ‘The Cuba Collection,’ the gorgeous range is handcrafted from sustainably sourced Tasmanian Oak and natural leather and we are rather smitten! Combining straight lines with soft edges and lovely use of woven leather, the collection is an ode to mid-Century design but with a twist. A refreshing take on current trends, we haven’t seen anything quite like this before which makes it even more exciting.

“We wanted to design a range of simple understated shapes that each featured a unique aspect that was a little unexpected,” says Lucy Grant, co-owner of Beeline Design.

One such detail is the woven leather magazine rack that forms part of the collection’s coffee table – a triumph of form and function! “Be it the magazine holder in the coffee table or the leather strapping that acts as a hinge on the ladder rack we wanted to challenge ourselves in how creatively we could use the the two materials (timber and leather) together,” says Lucy.

As is customary for the brand, they’ve taken a current trend (in this case wood and leather) and created their own unique version of the look. Not only is it a gorgeous aesthetic, it’s also built to last with each piece handmade in Beeline Design’s Melbourne workshop.

Another standout design, the woven leather bar stools are pretty gorgeous and another timeless design too. From a super modern interior to a more classic home, we can see this stool complementing myriad spaces.

6 non-replica breakfast bar stools

A quick google search for bar stools will have you met with replica upon replica… and we can’t be the only ones who are tired of seeing replica Tolix stools absolutely everywhere! So to put a bit more versatility into our lives and to give a shout out to all those amazing Aussie brands, we’ve pulled together six more unique stools for your breakfast bar.

Featuring the bullet-proof combo of marble and timber, the clean lined Marble Stool from Harpers Project is refined and raw. Multifunctional, it can be used as a stool in the kitchen or as a side table in the bedroom. It retails for $299, which is a huge bargain if you ask us!

Available in a range of timber finishes and base coatings, I personally can’t go past the Rex/Gem Stool in black and polished copper. Wow! Made by hand by TUCKBOX for $420, a foot rest can also be added upon request.

Featuring luxe leather threading, textural hide and a delicate gold frame, the Ayres Hide Barstool from Max Sparrow is a rarity indeed! And you’d hope so, as it retails for $995!
Inspired by the hipster cafes of New York, the Bronx Bar Stool from Freedom is industrial yet timeless. With a steel base and timber seat design, it is both comfortable and affordable, retailing for $269.

Outdoor friendly, the Volley Barstool ($850) from Tait is equally happy sitting courtside, next to all the action, or relaxing on a terrace, soaking up the summer sun. With a zinc-plated steel fame, mesh seat panel and rope handles, it can be powder coated in a variety of UV-stable colours. And for an extra level of comfort add an exterior seat cushion, available in a broad range of outdoor textiles.

Available in orange, black and mint green the Tall Baez Stool from Retrojan features a slender iron frame and inset wooden seat. At $99 a piece, it is the perfect, affordable option for adding a pop of colour to your kitchen.
