Why this dining chair earns its place
Outdoor seating lives a harder life than anything indoors — rain, sun, being dragged across a terrace at closing time — so the material matters more than the look. This pair of Bolero side chairs is built on an aluminium frame with PE wicker weave, materials chosen specifically to resist weathering. Left outside through wet weather, they're designed to keep their as-new look rather than fading, warping or rusting the way cheaper outdoor furniture does.
The Parisian styling gives it away from most functional garden chairs: a vibrant black chevron print through the weave adds a chic, café-terrace look that suits an outdoor bar or gastropub far better than plain rattan. It's a small detail, but it's the difference between furniture that just survives outside and furniture that actually looks intentional out there.
Practically, it's built for a working front-of-house. Foot plugs on the base of each leg protect decking and paving from scratches as chairs get moved and stacked, and the chairs themselves stack, which matters at close of play when staff need to clear a terrace and reclaim storage space quickly. At 890mm high, 564mm wide and 3.6kg each, they're light enough to handle in pairs without strain. They arrive fully assembled and are rated for indoor and outdoor use, so they'll work just as well pulled inside for an event as left out on the terrace.
