Outdoor Metal Sectional Sofa – Fog Cushions, Left or Right Chaise

A metal-framed sectional with Fog cushions, in a left-chaise or right-chaise configuration. Fog is a mid grey with a cool cast, and set against a metal frame it keeps the whole piece in one tonal register rather than putting cushion in contrast with structure.

A metal frame outdoors buys two things a timber one does not. It carries load in thin sections, so the sectional stays visually light despite its footprint. And it does not move with the seasons: metal will not swell in humid weather or shrink in dry heat, so the sections stay square to one another year after year. The cost is heat, since an exposed metal edge in direct sun gets hot to the touch where no cushion covers it.

Decide the chaise side against the actual space rather than a floor plan, because it cannot be swapped afterward. The chaise wants the open side of a terrace, not the wall.
