Arena dining chairs in perforated steel around a Capri table on a sea terrace, under a timber pergola with a terracotta tiled floor — iSiMAR catalogue photography

Pamplona, Spain

iSiMAR

Steel that lives outdoors. 60 years of metalwork turned to outdoor furniture, powder-coated in the company’s own factory outside Pamplona, in northern Spain.

The appeal

Why a hospitality room ends up with these.

Colour, a frame specified for commercial use, materials that state what they resist, and a range named after the coast. Four claims — and each one hands straight to the evidence further down this page, because a highlight nobody can check is a slogan.

  1. 548pieces with contract evidence

    It was built for the commercial room first.

    The frames served in poultry equipment and industrial refrigerators before they served on a terrace — the manufacturer’s own account, p.2. 548 of 611 indexed pieces carry contract-grade evidence, the powder coat is stated to comply with the Qualicoat, GSB and Marine norms, and iSiMAR names 2 venues its range is already in.

    The contract evidence, and where it stops →
  2. 17of the 24 coded frame colours are chromatic

    The colour is the range, not a finish option.

    32 powder-coat colours for the frame, of which 24 carry a printed RAL reference. Sorted by RAL’s own hue groups, 17 of those 24 sit in a colour family — yellow, red, violet, blue, green, brown — against 7 greys, whites and blacks. The other 8 print no code, so we have not classified them either way.

    Every colour, named and coded →
  3. 11material rows, each with its page

    It is specified by what it resists.

    The phrase “low maintenance” is printed nowhere in the corpus, so it is not printed here. What the catalogue publishes instead is resistance, material by material: ultraviolet light, salinity, chlorine, saltwater, stains, mildew, mould, heat and scratching, across 11 material rows. What it does not publish is a cleaning interval, a warranty term, a salt-spray figure or a wind rating — and neither do we.

    The 11 rows, verbatim →
  4. 25of the 40 place-named collections are Mediterranean

    The range is named after the coast.

    iSiMAR never calls its furniture Mediterranean. It names the collections after the places: 25 of the 40 collections named for a real place are a Mediterranean town, island or region, 15 of them in the current book. Read the range and you are reading a coastline.

    All 68 collections and their eras →

The Mediterranean count is our classification, and the only one on this page that is: a collection counts when the name as printed is a town, island, region or city with a Mediterranean coastline, which is why each is listed with its place. The rule is deliberately too strict — NOSTRUM is from Mare Nostrum, the Roman name for the sea itself; MISTRAL is the wind off Provence; BORA is the wind off the Adriatic; MITJORN is a Formentera beach, and Catalan for midday; CALA is the word for one of its coves; OLIVO is the olive tree — and none of those six counts. Nor does the naming hold everywhere. The other 15 place-named collections are ANGLET, BIARRITZ, BOLONIA, CHICAGO, CÁDIZ, FARGO, FARO, HABANA, LONDON, MADRID, MANCHESTER, ROTTERDAM, SEVILLA, TARIFA, TORINO: the Atlantic seaboard, inland Spain and Italy, northern Europe and the Americas. A further 28 collections are not named after a place at all. Current-book collections are set in ink above; the greyed names are archive.

The finish system

32 frame colours, named and coded.

Every iSiMAR frame is a texturized matte polyester powder coat over galvanised steel or aluminium. The frame programme runs to 32 colours, of which 24 carry a printed RAL reference; it is one of three programmes in a finish system of 124 rows — 32 frame colours, 31 tabletop surfaces and 61 textile colours.

Mill names, grade groups and programme names are the catalogue’s own. Where a page prints no grade, the cell says so rather than borrowing one from the programme above it.

Contract & certification

What the book states, and where it stops.

iSiMAR builds for hospitality first, and the frames served in poultry equipment and industrial refrigerators before they served on a terrace (p.2). Here is the evidence we hold, stated at the level the catalogue states it — and no further.

Qualicoat

Powder-coat quality norm/directive for galvanized-steel and aluminium metal finishes (stated compliance).

GSB

Powder-coat quality norm/directive (GSB International) for metal finishes (stated compliance).

Marine

Marine-grade powder-coat norm/directive for coastal/outdoor durability (stated compliance).

The 2026 catalogue’s own words: the powder coat “complies with the Qualicoat, GSB, and Marine norms and directives”. We hold the statement, not a certificate — ask us and we will ask the factory.

Contract grade

548 of 611 indexed pieces, across 43 of 45 current collections.

CUSHIONS, TRAZO do not — nothing in the book puts them in a contract setting, so we have not put them there either.

Accessibility

  • ADA compliant4 models FARGO (8017, 8018, 8019, 8020)
  • ADA compliant on request2 models MENORCA (8034, 8035)

Printed with the catalogue’s own qualifier. “On request” means the factory confirms per order; it is not a stock condition.

Made to order

A bespoke-personalisation spread: stackable metal chairs with individual first names laser-cut into the backrests, in pastel-pink and turquoise powder-coat.

What we can actually commission is a conversation, not a catalogue page — start it on the custom & contract desk.

Folding & storage

Folds flat, stores against a wall, comes back out for the next sitting.

17 tables in the index fold — 11 GÉNOVA and 6 MUELLE. For a venue that is not a detail. A terrace that seats lunch and hosts a function at seven has a storage problem before it has a furniture problem, and the fold is the answer the book actually prints.

Care & technical

Why galvanised steel ends up on a beachfront.

Galvanising puts zinc between the steel and the weather; the powder coat puts a texturized matte polyester over the zinc. Two barriers, one frame — which is why the house that built cold rooms now builds terraces. The 11 technical notes below are the catalogue’s own, with the page each one is printed on.

Metal powder-coat
Texturized matte polyester powder coat specifically for galvanized steel and aluminium; excellent mechanical properties for outdoor and contract use; complies with the Qualicoat, GSB and Marine norms and directives; environmentally respectful. Colours are approximate — check the physical finishes. p.151

Outdoor fabric, 100% dyed acrylic; breathable, water-repellent, stain-resistant and anti-mildew. p.153
Vinyl / Vinilo (Spradling)
Vinyl upholstery with textile (cotton) backing; UV-resistant, mold-resistant, antibacterial and fire-retardant. p.155
Recycled fabric (AZURE OUTDOOR, kvadrat)

Porcelain tabletop
Quartz-based porcelain, 12mm; impermeable, UV-resistant and 100% recyclable. p.160
Compact HPL tabletop
Compact HPL, 10mm; water-, scratch- and heat-resistant. p.160
Designer-edition tabletop
Customizable printed MDF/HDF, hydrophobic; round diameters Ø60/70/80cm. p.161

No wind rating, warranty term or salt-spray figure is printed in the corpus, so none appears here. How the materials behave in an Australian summer is a separate question, and we answer it on the materials page.

The workshop

60 years of bending metal, pointed at a terrace.

The metalwork is 60 years old as the 2026 book counts it; almost ten years ago, the same factory turned it towards outdoor furniture. Both figures are the catalogue’s, on p.2.

Model pieces grouped on a workshop bench.
Models grouped on a bench. The frames are built “mainly with galvanized rod, but also aluminum and galvanized steel in sheet and tube” — 2026 catalogue, p.2.

Our product has always been exposed to humid and highly corrosive environments, working in industries such as poultry equipment or industrial refrigerators. Therefore we have acquired during decades the experience and knowledge necessary to live in outdoor environments.

The form column is iSiMAR’s own line drawing, cut as vector from the index spread of the catalogue that printed it. It stands for the collection rather than for any one piece, which is why a row may carry six silhouettes or one. 65 of the 68 names have one. No drawing is printed beside HABANA, KiDS and TRAZO in any of the seven catalogues we hold, so those cells are empty rather than lent a neighbour’s glyph. Each drawing names the edition and printed pages it was taken from.

14 of the archive collections are indexed from the 2019 catalogue’s technical sheets, so their pieces carry printed codes and measured dimensions to that edition. Under the other 9 nothing is indexed — no piece, no dimension, no finish — and the link is to the page that printed them, which is all we can honestly offer. Being indexed is not being current: none of these names is in the 2026 book, and we do not say whether one could still be made. 611 pieces indexed →
