Outdoor furniture fails in the same few places: frames that corrode, cushions that stay wet, and plastics that fade. Choose by material first. Browse the outdoor collection.
Powder-coated aluminium and quick-dry foam
The Rowe Outdoor 3-Seat Sofa is 220 cm wide with lounging proportions: 100 cm deep and a 42.5 cm seat height. The frame is powder-coated aluminium. The cushions are quick-dry foam with polyester fibre, rated UPF 50+, so the sofa recovers quickly after rain.
Moulded, UV-resistant polymer
The Outo Side Chair from Toou is moulded from a waterproof, UV-resistant material. The slots in the seat and back drain rain and let wind pass through. It is 47.5 cm wide and light enough to carry one-handed, stacks for storage, and cleans with a hose and a wipe. It comes in white, black or dark green, and works indoors around a table too.
The Sensu Outdoor Lounge Chair, also from Toou, has an embracing backrest on a conical base. The shell is moulded from eco plastic, and the cushion is suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Bring the cushion in through winter.
Small pieces that move
The KO Stool is moulded polypropylene, rated for indoor and outdoor use. It works as a stool, a side table or a bedside table, and cleans with a wipe or a hose down.

A note on timber and wicker
Our outdoor range is aluminium and moulded materials. Timber outdoors needs regular oiling and should not sit in standing water, so ask the team before you commit to it.
