Aluminum Outdoor Chair – Dark Grey, Lightweight Weatherproof

An aluminum chair in Dark Grey, and nothing else: one material, one color. The appeal is weight. Aluminum chairs can be lifted with one hand and carried across a lawn, which is not true of teak or of anything with a cushioned frame.

Aluminum does not rust. That is the distinction from steel outdoors, and it is a property of the metal rather than of a coating over it, so a scratch on an aluminum chair does not begin a corrosion problem the way a scratch through powder coating on steel does. The trade-off is that a light frame is a frame that moves: an aluminum chair on an exposed terrace will travel in strong wind, and it should be stacked or weighted when a storm is expected.

It works as spare seating brought out when a terrace fills, as garden seating carried to wherever the sun is, or as everyday patio seating that never needs covering.
