Why Choose an Aluminium or Stackable Dining Chair?
Most dining chairs are built for a single environment and a predictable amount of use. Aluminium and polypropylene chairs are built for more than that — they handle daily use without showing it, wipe clean in seconds, and move easily between indoor and outdoor settings without the care requirements of wood or upholstered seating.
For households that want a dining chair that can genuinely go outside — onto a terrace, into a garden room, or out to a covered patio — without needing to be brought in every time the weather turns, aluminium is the most practical choice. For those who simply want a robust, easy-care chair that takes up less visual weight in a room than a traditional dining chair, the stackable polypropylene designs in this range offer that with a contemporary cafe-style aesthetic that works well in modern interiors.
After 20 years in the furniture industry, aluminium and stackable dining chairs are consistently underestimated by home buyers — and consistently appreciated once people have them. The combination of lightweight construction, easy maintenance and indoor-outdoor versatility suits a lot of modern homes better than a heavier traditional chair.
Choosing the Right Chair for Your Space
The main decision in this range is between aluminium frame chairs and polypropylene shell chairs — each suits a slightly different context.
The Terra Aluminium Side Chair at £118 and the Terra Aluminium Armchair at £131 are the most versatile options for indoor-outdoor use. Powder-coated tubular aluminium frames, available in Brick Dust, Charcoal and Fair Green, with a weight capacity of 115kg per seat. The side chair is more compact and better suited to tighter dining spaces; the armchair adds comfort for longer sittings and works particularly well as a standalone occasional chair or at the head of a dining table. Both are available with free next-day delivery.
For a warmer, more residential aesthetic, the Oska Dining Chairs at £170 for a pack of two bring a Scandinavian-inspired silhouette with beech-effect legs and a wipe-clean white seat. Sold in pairs, they suit modern kitchen-diners and open-plan living spaces where the chair needs to be practical without looking overtly utilitarian. The Tovi Dining Chairs at £174 for two and Tovi Dining Armchairs at £190 for two offer a slightly bolder cafe-style profile — stackable up to four high and ready to use straight from the box.

Frame and Finish Options Explained
Aluminium and polypropylene are the two construction materials in this range, and the right choice depends on how and where the chairs will be used.
Aluminium frames are the better choice for genuine indoor-outdoor use. The powder-coated finish on the Terra range resists rust and chipping, making it suitable for covered terraces, garden rooms and patios as well as kitchens and dining rooms. Lightweight at under 5kg per chair, they are easy to move, stack and store when not needed.
Polypropylene shell chairs — the Tovi and Oska — are slightly lighter still and offer a softer, more contemporary look indoors. Wipe-clean surfaces, stackable formats and no-assembly designs make them practical for everyday use. They are better suited to indoor settings or sheltered outdoor environments rather than full outdoor exposure.
Neither is objectively better — it comes down to how much outdoor use you need and which aesthetic fits the space.
What to Consider When Buying
For indoor-outdoor use, confirm the specific suitability of each model before ordering — the Terra aluminium range is rated for outdoor use, the polypropylene chairs are better kept indoors or under cover.
For dimensions and seat height compatibility with your existing table, check the individual product page for each model. Standard seat height across this range is 46–47cm, which suits most dining tables at 74–76cm height.
All chairs in this range arrive fully assembled or with minimal straightforward assembly — the Oska requires simple leg attachment, the Tovi and Terra are ready to use immediately.
Pairing Your Dining Chairs with the Rest of Your Space
If you are furnishing a broader living or lounge area alongside a dining zone, the lounge furniture range — including reception lounge chairs, sofas and coffee tables — complements the aesthetic of this collection well for open-plan spaces where dining and lounge areas sit together.
