Leaving Outdoor Furniture Out

Many options in the outdoor furniture market are not built to last, due to cost-cutting in design and material.

Cosh Living, however, exclusively supplies brands dedicated to crafting designer outdoor furniture that is not only beautiful but durable, surviving the elements all year round.

While it might initially appear unconventional to invest in outdoor furniture exposed to the elements, investing in these high-quality designs means enjoying long-lasting outdoor furniture.

Trusted Brands

Over the past 15 years at Cosh Living, a carefully curated a selection of outdoor furniture has been created, from trusted European brands such as Tribu, Dedon and celebrated Australian brand Kett. With a level of quality evident across all brands, featuring innovative designs, minimal maintenance and exceptional materials, all are tested for the harsh Australian climate. As a result, all outdoor pieces can be left outside throughout the seasons, and yes that means no  need to run outside and remove cushions when it rains!

High-Quality Outdoor Materials

Cosh Living only supplies outdoor furniture that is built with premium materials. Investing in great base materials means the material performs as required, to last a long time in the elements. Common issues with poor-quality outdoor furniture include rusting, splitting, cracking and tearing, due to cheap base materials. The initial cost of quality outdoor furniture will be higher, but will also get longer use out of them, reducing the need to replace them.

  • Teak

Teak is a tropical hardwood long revered for its resilience and elegance. Originating from the forests of Southeast Asia, it boasts a high oil content, making it naturally resistant to decay, insects, and the adverse effects of weather. Additionally, its tight wood grains enable it to withstand the usual wear and tear without compromising its structural integrity. These qualities make it an ideal choice for outdoor use.

  • Powder-Coated Aluminium

Powder-coated aluminium is an incredibly durable material, making it perfect for outdoor furniture. Powder coating is a polyester-based finish that uses charged polyester micro-beads to adhere uniformly to materials. Unlike traditional paint or epoxy, it is baked onto the material, making it resistant to flaking, corrosion, or rust.

  • Batyline

Batyline is a robust and premium material made from a polyester fiber coated with PVC, providing exceptional tear resistance. This 100% synthetic fabric is impervious to rot and mildew, and it exhibits high resistance to UV radiation and fading.

  • Polyster Rope

Polyester rope is designed to endure the harshest outdoor conditions, including exposure to sunlight, rain, humidity, and temperature fluctuations. This remarkable material ensures that your rope furniture can withstand the test of time, maintaining its quality and appearance for years to come.

Resilience

While these materials are resilient enough to withstand the elements year-round, there are a few easy steps that can keep them looking great and help to prolong their life.

  1. Use Protective Covers: Each collection has specially designed covers, defending against extreme elements like seaside salt spray. These covers add an extra layer of protection, ensuring the longevity and aesthetic appeal of your furniture.
  1. Regular Washdown: simply use a hose to remove debris and prevent dirt build-up on outdoor furniture, including upholstered items.
  1. Teak Maintenance: Address stubborn stains with mild soap and water, preserving the natural beauty of teak furniture.

These simple measures contribute to the lasting beauty and quality of outdoor furniture, ensuring years of enjoyment in an outdoor space.

Design Principles

  • Timeless Appeal | Outdoor furniture should harmonise with its surroundings to establish a unified appearance. Designers often create pieces with a timeless aesthetic to avoid trend-following.
  • Personalisation | Designers frequently offer a range of fabrics and finishes that allows personalisation of pieces. This customisation aligns furniture with aesthetic, reducing the likelihood of considering changes over time.
  • Comfort | Designers focus on creating products that seamlessly integrate with the human body, providing comfortable pieces with materials that are durable enough for the outdoors.
  • Materials | Designers possess in-depth knowledge of the materials they use, opting for the highest-grade options to guarantee that pieces withstand harsh weather conditions without rusting, breaking, or peeling.
  • Designs |  Focusing on ease of use and maintenance enhances the longevity of outdoor products. Features such as efficient drainage for water and debris not only ensure user-friendliness but also contribute significantly to long-term durability. Good designers consistently seek innovative materials and update their pieces for improvement, ensuring furniture remains durable and enduring.
