My Favourites
Cricket Armchair / Sixties Side Chair
The Cricket Armchair was one of the first chairs introduced to the market that had handwoven seat and back details before the woven trend really took off. The first project I did with this range was the great terrace space at Le Pont de la Tour (pictured top) which faces out on to Tower Bridge overlooking the Thames. It's also been spec'd for several Drake & Morgan projects including The Refinery, where it's a great companion for the vibrant yellow & orange Sixties Side Chairs.

I love its individuality coupled with the extensive frame finish and upholstery options that make the range so versatile. It's ideal for those environments that need to be inviting but not too serious! The bright yellow Portofino side Chairs in Jamie's Italian Covent Garden here are a great example of this.
And don't forget it's a great range for both indoors and outdoors!

The Tribeca would be my choice, for its innovative design and colour palatte. It's a modern interpretation of a classic sixties patio chair, cleverly designed to incorporate a nylon core inside the extruded PVC cord, offering tremendous strength and support once sat on. Not only that but the PVC cord join seamlessly, you can not identify where it starts or ends. Includes colours like ocean blue, terracotta and salmon-pink....dreamy.

Straight away the classic Bistro Metal Side Chair comes to mind. It is so simple and so timeless; a true outdoor classic. But I also love the new On The Move coffee and side table; there is nothing better than a handy side table to put your Aperol spritz on while you are enjoying the British summer! This little trendy table is so easy to grab and move around. Not only is the tray detachable, it's also spill-proof as well with the little rim on the edge. The perfect style to be combined with every type of chair.

The Karin Armchair is bang on trend and the price is very competitive compared to similar style chairs. Just take a look at the other woven chairs featured in this blog, I bet the Karin comes in at the best price.
The Karin Armchair is pictured in anthracite finish on the terrace of The Happenstance, London.

The Paradiso range has a great modern curved design with a clever cantilever base. Even with its metal structure the curved seat back and deep cushions give it the ability to feel cosy combining style and comfort into one good looking chair.

Most woven furniture only has the back or seat pad woven but the Tibidabo takes it one step further as the synthetic rope is also woven around the base of the chair which makes it even more impressive and impactful.

Roxanne gives a contemporary twist on those classic retro woven furniture designs but it's made from polyethylene wicker so it's suitable for outdoors. It's also got a really unique design where the wicker is bent into loops that fan out across the back.

I'm drawn to the Zahir armchair because of the eye design at the centre of the frame. It's instantly striking and memorable. It's also available in 17 different finishes and you can add a seat pad to it for extra comfort.
Zahir also fits with the trends we saw at Milan this year where there were a lot of chairs with emphasised outlines, with a focus on silhouettes and shadows.
If you're looking for an eye-catching outdoor chair at an affordable price point then this is it.

The Lapis Armchair is a teak wooden chair with a roundy frame, and the choice of a hand-woven or upholstered shell.
This chair is one of the most elegant chairs we have and it looks like an indoor chair but is designed for outdoor use.

I love the clean design of the Cadiz armchair. The use of a smooth swoop of sheet aluminium to create the seat back and pad is particularly clever, as it results in a really robust and lightweight chair. The chair is also available in a vast array of factory standard colours that will suit most hospitality colour schemes.

The Loop Armchair is a wicker-style chair designed for outdoors, available in either a synthetic rattan fibre or a polypropylene rope for an extra contemporary feel. It's also got a light aluminium frame it's easy to lift, stack, and store in the colder months.

The Heaven Table is a such a light web of fine lines, made even more airy because of the tinted glass top; perfect for hot weather. Available in several different sizes, it is perfect both indoors and outdoors, particularly in hotel terraces and lounges.
I would combine it with the Round Armchair (I have some in my garden - they're so cosy and well-balanced) placed by a pool somewhere near the glistening Meditteranean sea. Ahhh!

I love the Amaze Bench because of its organic shape and because it casts nice shadows. The bench is made of teak, a great looking outdoor hardwood which gives an impressive finish; perfect for any high-end outdoor area. As an added bonus it's also stackable.

The Nautica Swing Chair is a great fun, playful piece, perfect for that outdoor terrace or rooftop bar in the summertime.

My choice is the Porch Swing. I've always loved swings, and this is a perfect way to sit, swing, relax and enjoy the soft breeze while swinging and chatting to someone.

Parc Rocking Chair
Parc is the perfect blend of great-looking Danish design, fun and functionality.
The chair is "body-fitted" to follow the shape of the body and as a result, gives extremely high comfort levels. Made from teak it has a quality build that you'd expect from Scandi furniture. Parc is also very versatile as it comes in bench, rocking and dining chair versions, so it's much more than just a designer rocking chair.
