Elevating the craftsmanship, quality and detail of outdoor furniture, inspired by the simplicity of Japanese furniture, the Tanso collection bridges the gap between outdoors and indoors. Constructed from Grade A Teak, the thoughtful design of the subtle angles to the flat seat boards allow rainwater to run off without compromising on comfort, meaning any damage from the elements is minimised. Whilst the Tanso Side Chair is designed for outdoor use, it’s elegant and detailed aesthetic also affords it a place inside. Matching round and rectangular dining tables are also available within the collection, whilst an Armchair is also available.
