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 benche

4–6 cm at a dining table · 8–10 cm as lounge seating — long runs split into sections over about 1.4 m so no single pad bows or holds water.

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.

Made to order through our supplier workshops — sized to this frame, in your chosen fabric, from a thin dining pad to a full deep-seating build.

Larix pine tops

The top is built from three opposed counter-layers of larix pine, glued with a water-resistant polyurethane. The surface takes two treatments — first a sealant base protector, then a single-component aliphatic resin — combining for high resistance to abrasion.

Cleaning

Water and neutral soap.
