May 23rd, 2007 · No Comments

As an outdoor furniture provider it is essential that you choose commercial outdoor furniture manufacturers that can supply the quality and volume. Whether you are dealing with an importer or exporter pricing also has to be right!

There are many outdoor furniture manufacturers but not all of them are providing quality products so it’s important to do your homework and research just what it is they sell. Remember your outdoor furniture should also include pool furniture, patio furniture, and even bar stools which are becoming an interesting add on to pool areas.

Let’s have a look at this season’s hottest outdoor furniture starting with patio furniture:

Patio Furniture - Cast aluminum commercial outdoor furniture is becoming very popular because it is durable, classic, and priced well. Remember the great looking wrought iron pieces from the past? Well these styles have been transformed into cast aluminum patio furniture and it looks fabulous!!

Pool Furniture – Needs to be lightweight and durable to take the contact with wet bodies and pool water. There are plenty of great looking pieces this season from the retro look of year’s gone buy to the modern contemporary designs of your season.

There is nothing like sipping that cocktail on a great looking restaurant patio watching the sunset. Great for business! It’s important for you to critique the outdoor restaurant furniture carefully.

You’ll want to stock trendy styles that are designed to withstand the steady use of a patio restaurant. You’ll also want them priced competitively to other products on the market.

Outdoor furniture can be made from plastic, teak, aluminum, stainless steel, weave, or other types of metal. Each comes with its own price tag as well as their own pros and cons. It’s wise to carry a full selection of outdoor furniture so that you can meet the needs of all your commercial customers.

Whether you are an importer or an exporter make sure hospitality is part of the deal. After all you are going to be spending a lot of money so it’s the least they can do.

Let’s have a look at what the different material have to offer in outdoor furniture this season.

Plastic outdoor furniture works great on the patio but it’s especially handy around the pool where water is no problem and you can quickly and easily wipe it down.

Many plastics are a mixed with a resin for durability. There are great choices in color and style. You can choose from sleek trendy designs or retro styles that can only be described as “fun.”

Plastic folding chairs have come a long way with their fun colors like the red see in the GM Air Chair Folding SD75 or the GM Air Armchair with its great silver colors.

And we can’t forget about the retro fun upside down stool designed chairs by Bruno Houssin. Made from molded poletylene and available in 7 colors they scream fun!

The NIS Pankotto 3464 are fantastic contemporary tables designed by Bruno Rainaldi look great in the outdoor space and they are available in a variety of colors. They’ll add a lot of style to your commercial space.

In recent years stainless steel has taken over our kitchens and now it seems it has made its way to our outdoor furniture and what could be better? It’s sleek lines make quite a statement and it’s durable and affordable and it’s popular with the “me” generation. It stands up to the test of weathering and it’s easy to clean and maintain. Check out the great looking styles that will fit any outdoor décor.

GM Aida AL10 are the design of Richard Sapper and they are a great addition to your outdoor space stacking quietly out of the way when not in use. You might add one of the stainless tables for the perfect finishing touch.

You should also stock aluminum outdoor furniture. It is cheaper than stainless but just as popular and somewhat cheaper. Aluminum is so popular this season because of the wrought iron designs that are being used which gives it a very classic look.

The stacking aluminum chairs as seen with the La America 3 with their varnished beach plywood are great little item or if you prefer a more natural looking wood why not choose the La America 1?

There are plenty of great little tables too but my favorite happens to be the La Avangard Fixed with its fixed top frame and a choice of a gloss or matt aluminum top. Perfect for anywhere outdoors and just as great in the entrance to a restaurant or inn when you need a little extra table space.

There are many different metals that are used or blends of metal which are then painted with a special paint to help them stand up to the age of time outside. These mixed metals are very affordable.

GM Sussex Panca SD260 is a funky retro bench designed by Robin Day. This straight bench has a galvanized steel plat frame with a polypropylene seating area. This ones going to get all the attention it deserves. And you are going to be commended for your fantastic style choices for your commercial space!

Teak is also a great choice. It’s classic weather well and can be easily refinished each season with a simple coat of stain. You’ll get the choice of classic or trendy. It’s little more expensive but it’s in a class of its own and remains popular year after year. And when teak is left outside it takes on a nice silver tone complimenting its natural ability to weather so nicely.

Folding wooden teak chairs like the EM CH002 are very popular for outdoor use and they store so nicely. The support bars give them extra strength and all the brass fittings are flush.

Let’s not forget about the great looking outdoor teak dining chairs with their very unique styling such as seen in the EM CH005 or if you prefer a chair with an arm then the EM CH006 might be better for setting.

Lastly there are those fantastic teak benches which are perfect on the deck, beside the pool, or overlooking the gardens. Choose between EM CH010 or EM CH011. Like the chairs these great little benches will just get more beautiful with age.

In recent years weave fabrics have also gained popularity. Whether it’s for patio furniture or pool furniture it stands up to the traffic and it’s easy to clean and take care of. It’s also affordable and gives you some great looking styles.

Take the new collection of UV resistant, water resistant weave chairs such as EM WCH001 – fantastic design and maintenance free. Now who could ask for more? These look classy enough for even the finest Inn.

EM WTA001 is the perfect side table to go with those classy chairs. Weave sides that are UV resistant with a tempered 8mm glass top designed to take all the pool side abuse you can throw it’s way.

Commercial outdoor furniture whether for around the pool or on the patio decks should get the same attention that your inside furniture gets. There are all kinds of great designs and styles that can really create ambiance for your commercial outdoor space.
