A Versatile, Durable Weave for Outdoor Furniture

Rope has become a standout material in contemporary outdoor furniture design. At Design Warehouse, we use premium outdoor rope crafted from advanced synthetic fibres designed to handle the demands of outdoor living—while offering rich texture, visual warmth, and exceptional comfort.

Our rope furniture is woven, braided, knotted, or crocheted by skilled artisans. Many pieces feature hand-woven construction, showcasing extraordinary craftsmanship and attention to detail.

The rope used in our collections is made from thermoplastic polyethylene (PE) fibres, specifically engineered for outdoor durability. These materials are resistant to moisture, UV light, extreme temperatures, and mildew, making them an ideal low-maintenance choice for New Zealand’s variable climate.

Design versatility is another reason rope continues to grow in popularity. Varying strand thicknesses, colourways, textures, and weaving techniques allow for creative expression across lounge chairs, dining settings, and accent pieces. Rope can be wrapped or interwoven over aluminium, teak, or steel frames to create sophisticated, sculptural outdoor furniture with a soft tactile finish.
