Garden chairs

Garden chairs: the essential element for an outdoor relaxation oasis

In contemporary outdoor design, seating is the element that defines the transition between the refuge of home and the freedom of nature. A garden chair is not simply an adapted version of an indoor piece of furniture; it is a piece of robust engineering designed to withstand UV radiation, persistent humidity, and extreme temperature changes. Choosing the right outdoor chair involves understanding materiality and ergonomics, seeking a balance where visual lightness doesn't sacrifice sturdiness, and where the design contributes to creating atmospheres of calm and sensory well-being under the open sky.

Material types and structural performance

Advantages of specialized outdoor furniture

• Investment in longevity: The use of treated polymers and alloys prevents corrosion and structural degradation, ensuring that the chair maintains its integrity years later.
• Maintenance optimization: Non-porous surfaces facilitate daily cleaning, allowing for quick and efficient hygiene after use.
• Modularity and space saving: Many of our designs are stackable or foldable, allowing for smooth management of the terrace according to the season or the number of guests.
• Cross-cutting aesthetics: Balanced designs that can move from the garden to the living room (In & Out), providing great decorative versatility to the home.

Expert advice for technical selection

When selecting your chairs, consider the geographical orientation of your terrace. For areas with prevailing winds, prioritize heavy structures like solid wood to ensure the necessary stability. For comfort, always choose breathable materials, and if you opt for cushions, make sure they are made of removable technical fabrics for easy cleaning. We recommend combining chairs of different materials to add visual interest. Remember that even if the materials are weather-resistant, using protective covers during extended periods of inactivity will keep the finishes looking as good as new.

Frequently asked questions about garden chairs

• Which material is the most resistant for coastal areas?

  Aluminum and polypropylene are the winning materials in marine environments, as they are completely immune to corrosion caused by salt spray and constant ambient humidity.

• Is it necessary to treat the wood annually?

  Periodic application of specific protective oils is recommended to nourish the fibers of woods such as acacia or teak, maintaining their original color and preventing them from drying out.

• How should rope or rattan chairs be cleaned?

  The most effective technique is to use a soft bristle brush with a solution of water and neutral soap, followed by a rinse with low-pressure water to remove residue.

• Are metal chairs without cushions comfortable?

  Our designs are ergonomically studied to offer comfort through the curvature of the backrest, although adding a technical cushion will always provide extra warmth and softness during prolonged use.
