How to choose outdoor furniture: material, size and use case
Whether you furnish a villa garden, a terrace or a hotel lounge, the right outdoor set depends on wood species, fabric performance and daily use.
Start with the use scenario
Breakfast in the shade, afternoon lounging or evening dining? Without a clear scenario, seating groups either waste space or fall short on capacity.
Villa gardens often work with a 3+1+1 set and side tables. Cafés and hotel terraces need wipeable cushions, easy service access and durable frames.
Wood: chestnut, teak and iroko
Kiln-dried chestnut is a balanced choice for Turkey’s climate when finished and maintained correctly. Teak is a premium outdoor classic thanks to natural oils. Iroko is popular in contract projects for durability versus cost.
Visit our Altındağ / Ankara showroom to compare finishes in person—catalogue photos rarely capture grain and fabric hand-feel.
Fabrics and hardware
Look for UV colour fastness, water resistance and wipeable surfaces. Foam thickness defines comfort; outdoor-rated fasteners define safety.
For custom sizes, share a sketch, sun orientation and storage needs to shorten production lead time.
