Main types of outdoor seating

Today we are going to speak to you about the principal types of outdoor seating available on the market. In this article you will find important advice and suggestions that will be useful to you in the phase of choice and selection of the garden chairs (or outdoor chairs in general) that are most suitable for your specific needs and requirements.

Outdoor chairs represent indispensable furnishings for any open space (garden, terrace or balcony). Thanks to a monobloc outdoor chair or one composed of several elements, you can furnish your outdoor spaces with personality and style.

Today the market is able to offer us a vast range of solutions: outdoor chairs made with the aid of the most diverse materials (some of which are particularly innovative). There are also many styles of outdoor chairs available on the market. Today the commercial proposal is more varied and articulated than ever, and capable of responding to every taste and technical need.

Characteristics of a quality garden chair

But what are the characteristics and peculiarities that should concern a quality garden or outdoor chair? As we have specified in the previous paragraph, there are many types of modern chairs or armchairs available on the market today: these furnishing elements are today realised with the aid of light materials, but at the same time resistant and capable of conferring to the chair modern and ergonomic forms. Many outdoor chairs available on the market are suitable for both private and contract use.

A very important aspect that you must consider with the utmost attention when choosing a garden or outdoor chair is represented by the safety factor: the latter must never and in no way be underestimated. In this regard, our advice is to prefer outdoor chairs characterised by a notable solidity and resistance of their structure.

Another significant aspect in the choice of an outdoor chair is represented by the comfort of the seat. Before purchasing the chair that pleases you from a stylistic and design point of view, make sure in advance that it is not uncomfortable, but on the contrary extremely practical and comfortable.

All models of outdoor chairs

Having established the characteristics and peculiarities of a quality garden or outdoor chair, we come to the classification of the principal models available on the market. Here is all you need to know for the choice of your garden chair

Rigid outdoor chairs

Rigid outdoor chairs represent a much appreciated standard for the furnishing of an outdoor space: in this regard it is good to specify that in addition to guaranteeing high standards of safety and stability, modern rigid garden chairs are made with innovative materials, capable of conferring to the furniture a good lightness and relative capacity to move in spaces with extreme ease.

A model of rigid outdoor chair of great quality that we want to recommend to you is the beautiful Wire chair: this is a modern model of stackable garden chair, composed of a single painted metal tube for indoor and outdoor use. This model of rigid garden chair represents the ideal solution for the furnishing of a young and dynamic outdoor space, or alternatively a classic and traditional one. A practical cushion in soft polyurethane, in white or anthracite, is also available with the Wire chair.

As an alternative to this model, we offer the modern Pelugo Armchair: also in this case we are talking about a model of stackable garden chair, perfect to optimise your outdoor spaces. Poltrona Pelugo is a beautiful garden chair equipped with armrests, seat and back in PVC wire, with a nylon core. The furniture represents the ideal solution to be set up in an outdoor space, thanks to the presence of galvanised frame painted in different colours.

And again Tavolisedie.com proposes you a beautiful model of rope garden chair: Poltrona Pelugo in Nautical Rope is an outdoor chair available in different colours, ideal to be set up both in an outdoor and indoor space. The model is composed of 4 tubular steel legs and is available in different finishes.

Folding outdoor chairs

As an alternative to a rigid outdoor or garden chair, you may decide to purchase and arrange in your space a folding outdoor chair. Exactly as with the stackable chairs, the folding chairs represent the ideal solution for those who have outdoor spaces (garden, terrace or balcony) characterised by not particularly large dimensions.

Thanks to the purchase of a folding chair, the furniture may be comfortably folded when not in use and placed in a gazebo or storage room, thus occupying an extremely limited amount of space.

Wicker or rattan outdoor chairs

From a stylistic point of view, in recent years outdoor chairs in wicker or rattan have been particularly loved and sought after. These models are very particular and able to give rise to an extremely natural and ecological environment.

Rattan is today one of the most commonly used materials for the production of garden furniture. It is a plant fibre obtained from the processing of certain climbing palm species found in South East Asia. These palms belong to the Calamea family: however, they are not to be confused with wicker or bamboo (the latter being more rigid and hollow).

Outdoor camping chairs or hammocks

In addition to the models of garden or outdoor chairs described in the previous paragraphs, you may decide to purchase one of the many models of camping chairs available on the market. Keep in mind, however, that in spite of the vast commercial offer, a folding camping chair is unlikely to meet good standards of comfort.

Finally, if the space of your garden or terrace permits, you may decide to install a hammock: in this way, in addition to enjoying beautiful moments of relaxation and rest, you may give an exotic touch to your garden.
