10 Easy Pieces: Powder-Coated Metal Dining Sets – Gardenista
[ad_1]
Lately we’ve been seeing more powder-coated metal dining sets on the market. Powder coating, more durable than conventional paint, is a dry finishing process, whereby powder is fused to the surface of the metal, then baked in a curing oven for a tough, rust-resistant coating—a must for outdoor furniture. Below, we’ve rounded up ten stylish modern powder-coated dining sets, made with either lightweight aluminum or steel, which is heavier and thus, better for areas prone to strong winds.
Above: The Balcony Outdoor Collection, from Danish brand Hay, looks light and airy but feels substantial as it’s made from steel. Included in the collection are dining chairs (with or without arms), benches (with or without backs), stools, and tables (in two sizes). Each piece is available in five colors (pictured is Iron Red). Pictured is the side chair ($225); the dining bench with back ($545); and the small dining table ($595).Above: Muuto’s Linear Steel Family has the heft and look of indoor furniture. It’s available in five shades, including burnt orange and black (pictured), and, like Hay’s Balcony series, in multiple iterations and sizes. Pictured is the 55-inch table ($1,595) and armchairs ($465 each).Above: Better known as purveyors of the hipster beanbag, Fatboy came out with the aluminum Toni Dining Collection a few years ago. The chairs, with their round seats that mimic the look of woven cane, were inspired by classic bistro chairs. Pictured is the Toni Tablo dining table ($1,599) and armchairs ($339 each).Above: The Tio Collection from Sweden’s Massproductions features powder-coated steel tables and chairs in ten different colors (“tio” means “ten” in Swedish). Tables start from €882; chairs start from €349.
Above: Like Fermob’s iconic Bistro Collection, its Luxembourg line is available in a whopping 21 colors. Pictured is the 57-inch table ($1,705), chair ($457), and stool ($341).Above: An affordable option: Floyd’s aluminum Outdoor Set, available in four colors and in different configurations; currently on sale, from $1,008 for a two-top to $2,324 for a large table and six chairs.
