Kingsley Bate is teak-first, so the browse unit is the material rather than a colourway: the timber is specified by how it is allowed to weather, not by a paint code.

Fabric images are not to scale and colour reads differently on every screen — order a physical sample before specifying. Swatches and grades are the maker’s own, read from Kingsley Bate (manufacturer) (2026-07-31) and Kingsley Bate Australia (Casualife microsite) (2026-07-25).

Cushion thickness is deck arithmetic, not a style choice: the maker builds the bare frame deck low or high knowing what will sit on it, and the cushion is the remainder to a comfortable finished seat. That is why a dining pad runs thin and deep seating runs thick — neither is an upgrade on the other.

For a dining chairs or armchair: 3–6 cm seat pad — slim enough that the shell still reads and knee room under a 74 cm table survives. A metal shell takes the slimmer end with a non-slip base; teak and woven frames carry 4–6 cm, with an optional tied back pad.
Core: Exposed pieces take an open-cell, fast-draining (reticulated) core: water passes straight through instead of pooling in the foam. A crowned profile sheds standing water by geometry. Neither makes a cushion waterproof — outdoor builds drain, they do not seal.
Fabric: Outdoor cloth earns its keep in the fibre. Solution-dyed yarn carries its pigment all the way through the fibre, so colour survives sun and scrubbing; surface-dyed cloth wears its colour off. Performance fabrics are water-resistant rather than waterproof, and mildew grows on dirt sitting on the cloth, not in the fibre itself — which is why the published care is washing, drying and standing a soaked cushion on edge to drain.
Patterns & your own fabric: Fabrics and patterns are fully specifiable — plains, stripes and prints, with repeat, direction and railroading captured in the brief so a pattern lands straight on every panel. Many pieces also accept customer’s own material (C.O.M.) — the brief asks rather than assumes.

The maker’s cushion grammar

Kingsley Bate specifies a cushion in three published steps — the piece, the fabric grade, the edge style — across four edge styles and two fabric tiers (Standard and High-Performance). Cushions are sized to the frame, and the maker’s own care page says it plainly: stand a soaked cushion on edge and let it drain.
