Aluminium garden furniture is the option BARAZZI offers hotels for a terrace that stays outside all season: a light frame, hand-woven fibre or rope, cushions in outdoor fabrics. Teak brings a warmer material that weathers over time, and several ranges combine the two, with teak legs under an aluminium frame for instance. The right choice depends on how the space is used, how often the pieces are moved, and whether you want the look to evolve with the seasons or stay the same.
Aluminium garden furniture: how the woven frames are made
In the Skyline Design collection the frame is aluminium and the weave is applied by hand onto that frame. The NEO DYNASTY range, listed as DYNASTY on our product pages, pairs Umber Grey RAL 7022 aluminium with a 12 mm N-Pro fibre; RODONA and BOSTON use Carbon aluminium, the first with 8 mm beige Polyrope cord, the second with 16 × 5 mm FRD strap; NARA comes in Cocoa RAL 7006 or Cement Grey RAL 7033 aluminium with 6 mm Polyrope; BOTIT and NEO MOMA sit on White Wash aluminium. The weaving materials are polyester and HDPE fibres, cords and straps. Each range has its own aluminium colour, and the weave provides the texture.

Teak: which ranges, and how it ages
Teak appears in the same collection with NEO KRABI, in Weathered Teak and 5 mm Charcoal rope, and NEO ALASKA, in Weathered Teak and 6 mm Black Forest Polyrod, both designed by Noel Royo Asenjo. The matching MARROI tables have a teak top 3 cm thick in the 50 × 50 cm and 120 × 60 cm sizes, and 4 cm thick in the 100 × 100 cm and 240 × 100 cm sizes. In the SKLD Studio collection, OLMA combines teak with 6 mm taupe rope, LENIS with 10 mm rope and a Dekton top, and VELAIR offers a top in teak or Dekton.
One point to know before ordering: natural teak takes on a silver-grey patina under the effect of sun and moisture. Weathered Teak is given a hand-applied brushed finish that provides this look from delivery, which avoids the transition period before the grey of the following seasons.
Aluminium and teak together: the mixed ranges
Several models combine both materials. In the SKLD Studio collection, intended for outdoor use, TEMPO sets a White Wash aluminium frame on teak legs, with a Dekton top; KORO pairs an aluminium frame, a 35 mm flat fibre, a 6 mm rope and a teak top; LENIS and VELAIR, in teak, carry a Dekton or teak top. The SHADE daybed (Skyline Design) combines the materials differently: a Silver Walnut aluminium frame under a weave of Kubu Mushroom fibre, which gives a rattan look. The NEO KRABI and NEO ALASKA tables remain in solid teak, with a top 3 to 4 cm thick depending on the size. The choice is therefore made piece by piece: an aluminium frame for seating that is moved often, teak for table tops and for the ranges where the wood should be seen.

Fabrics, guarantee and manufacture
Whatever the frame, the cushions of the Skyline Design and SKLD Studio ranges are chosen from two series of outdoor fabrics: the Standard fabrics (Panama, Liso, Thunder, Bruma) are included in the price shown on each product page, while the Premium fabrics (Ottoman, Ego, Ritmo, Sunset, Cheviot, Zaria) are on quotation, as is the protective cover. Both collections come from Spain and are guaranteed for 2 years. Seat heights help to compose a consistent set: 43 cm for the NEO DYNASTY armchair and sofa, 47 cm for the dining armchair and the SHADE daybed, 40 cm for the round RODONA daybed.
These models appear in our garden lounge sets, our outdoor daybeds and our outdoor armchairs, within commercial outdoor furniture; the Skyline Design collection gathers the woven ranges mentioned here.

Frequently asked questions
Does woven aluminium garden furniture change colour over time?
The aluminium of the Skyline Design ranges comes in one colour per range, RAL 7022, Carbon, White Wash, Cocoa RAL 7006 or Cement Grey RAL 7033 depending on the range, and the weave is in polyester fibre, HDPE, cord or strap. It is natural teak that evolves towards a silver-grey patina; Weathered Teak is delivered already brushed in that tone.
Are the cushions included in the price shown?
Yes, in the Standard fabrics: Panama, Liso, Thunder and Bruma. The Premium fabrics, Ottoman, Ego, Ritmo, Sunset, Cheviot and Zaria, as well as the protective cover, are on quotation. Each product page states the configuration sold at the price shown, and we price the other combinations on request, free of charge.
What weight should staff expect when moving the seats every day?
A NEO DYNASTY armchair weighs 19.79 kg and a dining armchair from the same range 9.19 kg. The two-seater sofa reaches 33.1 kg and the round RODONA daybed 30.75 kg; the SHADE daybed weighs 88.4 kg.
