Calana Iron Garden Chair - Brown

This outdoor armchair pairs an iron frame with a seat and back of brown polypropylene cord, woven into an open, chequered lattice. By composition it is 75% iron and 25% polypropylene, so the frame is metal and the weave is a synthetic cord. The back curves round in a soft arc, the arms are slim rails that follow the line of the frame, and each pair of legs sweeps down into a looped runner along the floor, so the chair stands on two continuous lines rather than four separate feet. At 61cm wide, 56cm deep and 82cm tall it is a full-size garden armchair, and it wants at least 61cm of table edge to itself.

Its place is the garden, the terrace, the patio or a balcony: drawn up to an outdoor table, or kept as a spare seat by the back door for whenever a guest arrives. The open weave lets light and air pass between the cords, so the chair never looks heavy, even with several around one table, and the planting behind stays in view. The arms give your elbows somewhere to rest and a firm hand hold as you rise, which makes it a good choice for anyone who likes to sit and talk at the table through a long afternoon.

The slim iron frame carries the back, arms and legs, and the cord is woven into a closer, tighter band along the top of the back and the front edge of the seat, the two places hands and legs meet most. Polypropylene is a plastic that does not soak up water as natural fibres do, and iron is a dense, strong metal. The styling props shown are not included. For a practical finish, tie a flat outdoor cushion to the seat for longer sittings, and let the brown weave sit beside slatted tables, gravel paths and green planting.
