    Powder-coated aluminium combines high strength with low weight and no corrosion, making it the most practical choice for most UK gardens. Galvanised steel offers greater heft and a more industrial look, resisting rust for years with basic care. Cast iron feels traditional but requires ongoing maintenance against rust and pitting.

    Powder-coated metal furniture can warm up in direct sunshine, though cushions mitigate this considerably for lounge and dining use. Lighter-coloured finishes reflect more heat than dark ones. Positioning furniture with partial shade during peak summer hours keeps surfaces comfortable.

    Quality powder-coated aluminium and galvanised steel both resist rust for many years, though the coating can be damaged by hard impacts or abrasion, exposing underlying metal to corrosion. Touching up any chips promptly with matching paint prevents the rust from spreading. Cheap stamped metal furniture without proper coating rusts quickly.

    Properly specified aluminium and galvanised steel handle UK winters without issue, though covering cushions and storing fabric elements indoors extends their life. Metal frames benefit from occasional wiping to clear salt deposits near coastal homes. A once-annual check for coating damage catches problems early.

    • 4 Beautiful Modern Outdoor Furniture Ideas
      4 Beautiful Modern Outdoor Furniture Ideas
      Summer is in full swing meaning it’s time to move outdoors and enjoy the sunshine. Despite the unpredictability of the British climate, we love to spend time in the open air, eat and drink in the sun, and simply enjoy the outdoors, whether it be on our city balconies or country lawns. How, though, to make the most of our outdoor space when the weather can turn in the blink of any eye? We’ve put together four modern outdoor furniture ideas that will help you find the design perfect for your space, whatever the weather. Think versatile Yes, there are a lot of unknowns with British weather. But that doesn’t mean we can’t create a stylish outdoor “room” of our own where we can enjoy the intermittent sunshine. It just means we have to be slightly smarter in our choices. For starters, consider investing in a design that is just as at home inside as it is out. Kartell has a number of beautiful chairs that can be used around a modern dining table as well as the garden table meaning that the chairs don’t go to waste for half of the year. This is especially handy if you don’t have the luxury of ample storage space to hide away your outdoor furniture during the wet and windy winter months. The Kartell Masters Chair, £159 The Kartell Masters Chair was designed by Phillip Stark who drew his inspiration from three iconic chairs by legendary 20th-century designers: Arne Jacobsen, Eero Saarinen and Charles Eames. The result is a thought-provoking design that features beautiful unbroken curves that aren’t spoilt by any awkward joints or screws. In a similar vein, the Piuma chair, also from Kartell, has a simple shape giving it the versatility to be used both indoors and outdoors. Measuring just a few millimetres thick it is made from an unprecedented mix of materials that make the chair not only light and slender, but also incredibly durable and flexible. The Kartell Piuma Chair, £277 Think functional A key function of outdoor furniture is to ensure it can withstand the elements. Therefore, material choice is an important consideration when it comes to choosing the right design for your garden. Before you opt for traditional wicker or wood pieces, you might want to consider a different material: plastic. Enough to make many design aficionados shudder, plastic tends to get a bad rep but when executed properly, plastic can be just as chic as its natural counterparts. It can be easily moulded into many different shapes giving designers the ability to create truly breath-taking pieces that other materials don’t allow for. The Vitra Panton Chair, £210 The Panton chair from Vitra has an instantly recognisable cantilevered silhouette that was the creation of legendary Dutch designer Verner Panton. Working in collaboration with Vitra, Panton developed the world’s first chair to be manufactured from a single piece of plastic and its striking shape will act as an eye-catching feature in any garden. Similarly, the Bubble sofa and club chair from Kartell can withstand all the elements thanks to its plastic material, allowing classic indoor shapes to be introduced to the outside. Think colourful Your outdoor space is a great opportunity to add a bit of colour to your home, especially if you’re not quite brave enough to use it inside. Use the colours found in your garden as your starting point and build from there. The Vitra All Plastics Chair, £135 Designed by Jasper Morrison, the All Plastic Chair is reminiscent of classic wooden chairs but made from resilient plastic. Available in a range of colours, the chair combines chair combines great stability with excellent comfort. Another colourful option is the Hot Mesh chair by Blu Dot. Inspired by classic wooden steam-bent bistro chairs, the use of steel tube and mesh gives a modern rendition of the interlocking rails and woven seat of the original with this yellow design available in a range of bright colours. Think iconic It’s hard not to be driven by trends, but it’s better to invest in something that you love which can evolve rather than be thrown out after a season. New to Heal’s is the Eos range from Case which does just that. Designed by Matthew Hilton, the aim was to produce a simple, clean and functional product that was hard-wearing and well-priced. The Eos Rectangular Table, £530 The Eos Chaise Longue, £620 A collection of three chairs, three tables, and a chaise longue these designs are almost deceptive in their simplicity. This contemporary outdoor collection is smartly proportioned, exceedingly comfortable, and (perhaps most importantly for English gardens), entirely weatherproof. A future design icon without the price tag.

      Five Vitra Furniture Classics
      Vitra is a Swiss furniture brand established by Willi and Erika Fehlbaum in 1957, with the licensed production of furniture from renowned brands such as Charles & Ray Eames, Alexander Girard, George Nelson and Isamu Noguchi. Known for its commitment to forming lasting relationships with talented designers, the company is famed for enhancing living, office and public spaces. Bringing together the best in iconic, contemporary design, Vitra's modernist products and concepts are installed worldwide by architects and companies to create inspirational living spaces. Luckily for us, we can celebrate and incorporate its designs into our homes. Here are five classic Vitra furniture pieces you can add to any home: Eames Lounge Chair The Eames lounge chair was designed by husband and wife duo, Charles and Ray Eames and has been in production for over 60 years. It’s one of the - if not the - most iconic designs of the 20th century. Since 1956, when both design and designer debuted on national television, this classic chair has remained true to the handcrafted details that define its luxurious design. Today, the Eames lounge chair is a staple in any contemporary furniture collection. Made from soft leather and sturdy plywood, it’s still regarded as the most comfortable seat of its time. The Eames Lounge Chair Eames Plastic Chair The Eames plastic chair range is another iconic collection by Charles and Ray Eames. Introduced to the market in 1950 with the launch of the plastic armchair and plastic side chair, these designs were the very first mass-produced plastic chairs in the history of furniture. The chairs epitomise the playful functionality of mid-century American design, created to fit the contours of the human body. The plastic chairs fully exploit the advantage of the material they’re crafted in: rigid, durable and easy to mould. Only one feature from its original design has been changed, with the replacement of the fibreglass shell to a more environmentally friendly polyproline seat. The Eames Plastic Chairs The Eames plastic chair also introduced a new furniture typology: the multifunctional chair whose shell can be joined with different bases to serve diverse purposes. Today the seat is manufactured in multiple variations, so whether you’re looking for a curvaceous chair that provides back support, a rocking armchair or an office chair on wheels - Vitra has the plastic piece for you. There are a multitude of bases, colours and upholstery options, which will work in everything from dining rooms, living rooms and home offices to outdoor terraces and gardens. Vitra Utensil Silo In 1969, Dorothee Becker designed and brought to market the first wall-mounted organiser, followed by a smaller model a year later. The Vitra utensil silo has since been deemed an icon of plastic design and has become a staple in design-savvy homes, particularly in Europe and the US. The Utensil Silo by Vitra This wall-mounted organiser keeps your household utensils neatly together in one place - making it easier to find everyday objects. It features different-sized and shaped containers, metal hooks and clips, and it offers a practical storage space for all your odds and ends. The utensil silo is very versatile, allowing it to be easily added to different rooms in the house including the kitchen, office, bathroom and children’s rooms. Offered in black, red and white, this holder is a stylish way to get your bits and bobs organised. Vitra Noguchi Coffee Table Designed in 1944 by Isamu Noguchi, this mid-century design is renowned for its free-form, unpredictable and flowing appearance. “Everything is sculpture,” said the Japanese-American sculptor – renowned for his ability to make sculptures out of anything that was available to him including clay, wood, stone, metal, paper and bone. The Noguchi Coffee Table by Vitra The organic formed Noguchi coffee table boasts a solid wooden base that consists of two identical pieces. These create symmetry and stability, while supporting an elegantly-shaped glass top. Offered in a choice of black ash or walnut,it's the perfect centrepiece for a mid-century modern style living area. The Vitra Home Desk The iconic home desk was originally designed as a women’s working table by George Nelson in 1958. It’s manufactured today by Vitra, bringing the colourful, curvy station to a new audience. More than 50 years since it was first produced, the sophisticated home piece still has many uses as a small workstation in any modern home.

Its vibrant rainbow-coloured compartments are sure to bring your home office to life. This sought-after compact piece adds an inspired accent, perfectly suited to any contemporary, mid-century style workspace.
