Having used cast aluminium outdoor furniture for years in our dining range we are still unsure if it's growing popularity is due more to its elegant look or the superb performance qualities it delivers for the Australian outdoors.
One of the biggest trends we have seen in outdoor furniture over the last year is the emergence in popularity for a combination lounge and dining outdoor setting.
This is certainly one of the most exciting products we have ever seen hit the furniture market. Our design team spotted these at a world trade show in Europe last year and after the terrific feedback we received we decided to partner with ceramic masters and manufacturers Domiziani to bring these to Australia.
It’s that time of year when the cold creeps in and desperately tries to push us inside keeping us away from our favourite outdoor living space. Particularly if you live in the Southern states, where the colder nights extend from March through to October (here in Melbourne, it’s not uncommon to turn the outdoor heating on in December).
Teak is one of the world’s best timbers for construction. It is indelibly strong, durable, weatherproof and has outstanding resistance to decay and rot. So it is perfect for outdoor furniture. When teak outdoor furniture pieces are produced they are generally oiled. Left to weather, the timber will naturally turn a silvery grey but a clean and re-oiling will bring it back to original state.
