Materials & finishes

What the range is made of.

Teak that silvers, aluminium light enough to re-set a terrace daily, rattan that belongs indoors — each family behaves differently once the furniture leaves the showroom. Choose a material to see what is built from it.

By material.

Kingsley Bate Steamer

teak

Weathers to a soft silver-grey and comes back to honey if you want it to.

iSiMAR Antibes 70×70 H113

galvanised steel

Zinc first, then a powder coat over it — two barriers between the steel and the weather.

Kingsley Bate Dining Armchair

stainless & aluminium

Brushed stainless, never chromed — the frames behind a dining or bar setting, and the tensioned sling seats that go with them.

Kingsley Bate Lounge Chair

all-weather wicker

Hand-woven fibre, resistant to fading, cracking or tearing — named for the weather it stays out in.

CALMA Gat dining armchair

polyethylene

Rotomoulded in one piece rather than built as a frame with a skin over it.

By species.

Where a house names the timber it cut a piece from, that name is here. A frame in one species often carries a top in another, so a piece can appear under both.

Soft goods, stated plainly.

Seat and back cushions, squabs and sunbed pads, cut and covered in outdoor cloth — ours or yours. Fabric, grade and colourway are settled piece by piece when the schedule is drawn, and a physical sample is sent before anything is cut.

Care

Where each house’s own guidance lives.

Hold the material in your hand.

Showroom — 106 Barkly St, St Kilda. Teak in both its states, sling meshes under tension, cushions in the current colourways.
