Whether you’re a petite café, cool local bar or major hospitality operation, at Design Warehouse we have a beautiful selection of outdoor bistro sets, café tables, teak stacking chairs and bar height bistro sets just waiting to fit your design brief before for the summer rush.

Read on for some of the favourites on offer right now that are capturing the imaginations of some of the industry’s most successful and stylish operators.

Handy folding tables with style

To allow a space to be further opened up when not in use, choose a space-saving table option that folds up easily so you can store it out of sight if necessary. Our Café Collection is inspired by Europe’s rich café culture, with a romantic, dreamy frame and solid teak top that you can’t help but love. And naturally steel features heavily, for its solid and permanent feel. The Café Rectangle Teak Folding Table has a beautiful panelled Grade-A Teak top and powder coated steel legs, and is just so versatile. Use it as an extra serving table when you’re accomodating bigger parties, or as additional outdoor seating when the weekend brunch rush hits. Pair it up with the Café Teak Folding Arm or Side Chairs, or mix materials and add some Raw Concrete Square Stools for an edgy, urban look. If you’re keen on purely using wood in your establishment for its much loved, solid and organic feel, our Round Teak Folding Dining Table is the perfect option for you. A classic example of the traditional teak folding table, these round teak folding tables are made in A-Grade teak and will last you a lifetime. Gradually ageing to a soft, silvery hue, this table is ideal for outdoor dining, conveniently folding away for compact storage and incredibly easy to clean.

Beautiful bar chairs and sets

The dream solution for a home bar or in a commercial hospitality setting, the Pietro Wicker Bar Chair is tall and contemporary, with weatherproof Ecolene outdoor weave and a powder-coated aluminium upper frame and powder-coated steel legs. The stunning taupe Wicker Bar Chair is a stellar combination of sturdy, contemporary materials, as well being a fabulous 119cm tall and possessing the most spacious and comfortable seat. It’s a perfect addition to any bar setting, but be warned that your guests may just be so comfortable that they never want to leave!

To make things easy, we also offer an outdoor bar height bistro set using our Raw Concrete Bar Height Table paired with Nairobi Outdoor Bar Stools in Black for lending your bar or restaurant a cool, industrial edge. Or if you need more space for your customers to lean, the amazing Noble Outdoor Bar Table is a minimalist beauty that will enhance the look of any outdoor establishment. With a sleek frame of powder-coated aluminium and an elegant, bare teak table top, the Noble is an extraordinary piece that suits any space.

Looking for a set that makes a statement? The Blok Outdoor Bar Table and Pietro Chairs Outdoor Bar Set is ready now to add a touch of cool to your outdoor space. The superlative set combines a beautiful blond, reclaimed teak bar table, effortlessly complemented by our fabulous, unabashedly contemporary Pietro bar stools. It’s a great combination that results in the perfect place for guests to perch long after the sun goes down, and once again, it’s built to last and withstand whatever the often inclement New Zealand weather throws at it.
