The materials behind the design
Every piece of outdoor furniture is only as good as the materials it is made of. The frame, the surface, the fabric, the finishing. Each element plays a role in how furniture looks, feels and performs over time. Understanding what goes into a product helps you make a choice that lasts, not just for one season, but for many years to come.
Below, we take a closer look at the materials used across our collections. From natural teak and lightweight aluminium to advanced surface materials and weather-resistant fabrics. Each one is selected for a reason, and together they form the foundation of furniture that is built to be lived with.
Teak
Teak is a widely used and well-known type of wood. It is valued for its durability, strength, and natural water-repellent properties, which makes it popular for outdoor furniture. Teak is strong and heavy, has a natural feel, and develops a beautiful grey patina over time. Teak outdoor furniture can be left outside all year round. It is important to ensure responsible teak production and sales to prevent the logging of natural teak forests.
Aluminium
Aluminium is a popular choice for outdoor furniture thanks to its light weight, strength, and weather resistance. It won’t rust and requires very little maintenance, making it ideal for outdoor use. In addition, aluminium is a durable material with a modern, elegant look.
Aluminium outdoor furniture is available in a wide range of styles, designs, and colours, making it easy to match any garden setting. It’s also easy to store and move around, which makes it a great option for anyone looking for comfort and convenience. Aluminium outdoor furniture is a smart investment for anyone seeking durable, stylish pieces for their garden.
