The furniture is paramount to fully enjoy the outdoor space: armchairs, sofas, chaise longues and chairs are some of the elements to choose for your garden, without sacrificing comfort, practicality and ease of maintenance.
When choosing garden chairs, it is good to pay attention to the design, quality of materials, workmanship and technical characteristics, as exposure to atmospheric agents could damage the surfaces or alter the colors over time.
Polyrattan is a synthetic technological material ideal for making outdoor furniture and in general many models of garden sofas and armchairs, the characteristics of this material are:
Furthermore, some outdoor armchairs can be made of lacquered resin and textilene which is a synthetic material composed of an intertwining of polyester fibers covered in turn by a PVC sheath, very resistant to atmospheric agents and UV rays.
To make outdoor seating more comfortable, we recommend seat cushions and backrest, preferably with removable covers, to be able to easily wash the fabrics.
Garden chairs are the best-selling outdoor furniture product and in some cases they are combined with the table model that has been chosen, other times they can be purchased separately.
The most common materials in which the chairs are made are: plastic, wood and iron.
Plastic garden chairs are the cheapest model, they can be stacked on top of each other for a smaller footprint and require minimal maintenance for cleaning.
Wooden chairs are made up of wooden slats and they come with or without armrests.
The wood must be treated with oils that make it impermeable to water and atmospheric agents.
It is preferable to choose a folding model, in case, after their use, the chairs need to be stowed away, thus taking up less space.
They require periodic maintenance to preserve their waterproofing over time.
The metal garden chairs are required by those who prefer a lighter and more elegant furniture, with decorations, even if the seats are rather uncomfortable and must be equipped with cushions.
Even if the iron is treated with anti-rust paints, in the winter season it is good to store the chairs indoors, unless they are located under pergolas.
The chaise longue is a sunbed with adjustable backrest, very popular in the gardens or by the pool. Some models are equipped with wheels that allow easy movement.
The chaise longues differ according to the construction material:
Viadurini is a company that presents various models of outdoor chaise longues in many amazing different materials.

The armchair is the preferred type of seat for outdoor furniture as it guarantees true relaxation.
Generally the garden armchair differs from the one used inside when it comes to materials, and usually it can be purchased with the sofa.
The garden armchair has a simple structure, typical of the indoor versions, with a comfortable seat and a much higher back than a normal chair and armrests on the sides.

The large structure allows you to feel as if wrapped inside it. The outdoor versions of the armchairs come with a great variety of models suitable to meet the needs of interior designers too.
If an armchair tends to suggest a classic style, in reality it is a product that lends itself to different tastes ranging from retro to modern up to creating truly avant-garde design elements.
Recently, fashion tries to recreate a natural and fresh atmosphere in one's garden, using for example bamboo, rattan or other natural fibers such as banana.

These are natural materials and therefore blend perfectly with the vegetation of parks and gardens. Depending on the fiber chosen, you can have different shades of brown or beige and more or less thick structures.
In general, these materials with an exotic taste are very delicate, so they need periodic care and must be well covered when not in use, especially in winter.
