Luxurious Outdoor Rope Furniture

We are well known for our beautiful Grade-A teak offering, but did you know we also design and craft stunning outdoor rope furniture?

The materials that are used to make outdoor furniture are always evolving and becoming more interesting, more impressive and more durable. The technology has advanced and this allows new innovative designs and styles to emerge. Over the last few seasons, rope has become the go-to material for fresh new designs, and we are proud to now offer a selection of rope furniture, including deep seating, relaxing chairs, dining chairs, and more.

Our rope products are carefully crafted in Italy, Belgium, France, Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Philippines, and almost all of our rope pieces are hand-woven by amazing artisans who have spent years honing their craft. The attention to detail is exquisite, and the end result incredibly durable as our rope strands are made of thermoplastic polyethylene fibres. These synthetic fibres have been engineered specifically for outdoor use, and with proper care and maintenance, they can continue to be weather resistant and look stunning for many years to come.

Rope has been cleverly wrapped around aluminium, steel, and teak frames to make the most interesting pieces, all completely unique in style. Some of the rope is very thick cordage, and it is evident that multiple strands are tightly braided together, and other times it can be thin and appear more elegant. We also offer some crocheted pieces, where the weaving is even more intricate and precise.

So, From rope lounge sets and dining tables through to benches and arm chairs, we've got everything you could want for your garden, patio, balcony and poolside. Read on for some our recommendations if you’re looking to add rope to your al fresco aesthetic.

The rope chaise longue

Apart from the daybed, no piece of furniture says “relaxation” more than a chaise longue. With origins in the sixteenth century, the chaise continues to be associated with court furniture, on which one used to spend long hours reading books or just relaxing, in utmost style! Our Washington Rope Loveseat has a distinctly chaise-like vibe, has all of the qualities that you want when choosing a place to unwind and stretch out, with a generously wide bed and plush cushions with the perfect amount of give. One of the most striking features of the Washington Rope Loveseat are the arms woven beautifully with outdoor rope. This adds a striking design element that will elevate the look of any outdoor space, while the powder-coated aluminium frame is sleek and robust.
