Chairs

What matters in an outdoor chair designed to last

An outdoor chair is exposed to sunlight, humidity, temperature changes, frequent cleaning and, depending on the environment, chlorine or salt spray. For this reason, beyond the design, it is worth considering three aspects: the material, stackability and maintenance.

The material determines how the chair will withstand outdoor use and the frequency of use. Stackability directly affects how easy it is to collect, move and store the furniture. And maintenance makes all the difference in day-to-day use, particularly in spaces where chairs are cleaned frequently or remain outdoors throughout the season. These factors help you choose a chair that is suitable for a private home or for more demanding spaces, such as gardens, terraces, balconies, swimming pools, hotels, restaurants or contract projects.

Aluminium or resin, depending on the intended use of the space

Aluminium offers lightness, strength and a clean, technical aesthetic, making it ideal for terraces, porches or outdoor dining areas. Polypropylene resin stands out for its ease of use, resistance to moisture and ease of cleaning, particularly at swimming pools, campsites, beachside areas or places where chairs are frequently moved around. Both options allow you to furnish outdoor spaces with durable and functional furniture. The choice will depend on the setting, how often the furniture will be used and the look you wish to achieve. If you’ve decided on the material, you can browse our section on aluminium chairs or resin chairs.

Stackable units: you don’t just save space

The fact that a chair is stackable is no minor detail: it significantly reduces the space needed to store furniture. At home, it makes it easy to put away garden, terrace or balcony chairs when they’re not in season. In hotels, restaurants, campsites or pool areas, it can make the difference between keeping neat stacks in a small storeroom or needing a much larger area to store the same number of units.

Furthermore, stackability makes cleaning, the daily closure of a terrace and the reorganisation of the space easier. In professional settings, this translates into less time spent clearing away, less effort for staff and more efficient operations. All Balliu chairs are stackable, a particularly useful advantage when furniture needs to be moved, stored and reused frequently.
