Built for the Australian Climate
Our outdoor dining armchairs are constructed from weather-resistant materials including powder-coated aluminium and all-weather polypropylene — selected for their ability to withstand the full range of Australian outdoor conditions. UV-stabilised finishes help maintain colour and structural integrity over time, ensuring the chairs perform season after season without requiring significant maintenance.
Armchairs as a Statement at the Outdoor Table
Outdoor dining armchairs can be used throughout the full table setting or positioned at the ends for visual emphasis and a sense of occasion. Either approach introduces a more considered and layered quality to the alfresco dining arrangement. For a cohesive outdoor setting, pair your armchairs with a complementary Outdoor Dining Table in a material and scale that suits your space.
Completing the Outdoor Dining Setting
Outdoor dining armchairs work naturally alongside other outdoor furniture pieces. Combine them with Outdoor Dining Tables to create a complete alfresco dining setting, or explore the full Outdoor Furniture collection to design a cohesive outdoor space across your patio, balcony or garden.

Polypropylene designs are equally low-maintenance and can be wiped clean easily. If your armchairs include cushions or fabric elements, these should be stored undercover or in a weatherproof bag when not in use.

An outdoor dining armchair features integrated arms on either side of the seat, providing additional support and a more comfortable seating position over longer meals. A standard outdoor dining chair has no arms, offering a more compact footprint that allows more chairs to fit around the table. Many outdoor dining settings mix both styles — armchairs at the ends and standard chairs along the sides.
