In 2010, I wrote myself a brief for a new stool. This new design was going to be a strong invitation to sit, relax and stay. I imagined an adult having a meal and perhaps a glass of wine with friends or family. It had to be sophisticated but not pretentious. It had to be distinctively Australian, but with international levels of craftsmanship. It had to suit a home with high design standards. The Tamar stool was born.
The Tamar stool is the fifth member of our popular Tamar family of seating; The Tamar chair, Tamar rocker and both versions of the Cataract all share the same ancestry. The original Tamar chair was designed in 2007 while Evan was teaching chair design as a visiting artist at the (now defunct) Australian School of Fine Furniture, Launceston, Tasmania. He designed and made the Tamar in parallel with his students to demonstrate his approach to design as well as “pace of work”.
When Phil Squance of Analog Mosman was planning the fitout his new Sydney bar, he was looking for a sophisticated stool that was Australian designed and crafted and made from Australian timber. He wanted his patrons to sit, relax, listen to an LP on vinyl, eat fine food and drink something special. After a long and frustrating search, he finally learned of the Tamar stool and drove the three hours from Sydney. He sat in the Tamar, broke into a grin and immediately ordered 22 of them in Tasmanian blackwood for the Analog Mosman.
“I spent months looking for the right stool. The interior designers and furniture retailers I spoke to kept offering me industrial design, not craft design. I love Japanese-Australian fusion food, and I was after a fusion stool; it had to be a great design, great craftsmanship and local, local, local.” – Phil Squance, 2024.
I consider the Tamar stool one of my top five designs of all time, along with the Cataract rocker, the Cascade rocker, the Waterfall stool and the Stork hall table.
