Choosing outdoor furniture is, at heart, choosing materials that withstand sun, humidity and salt air without losing their character. These are the ones we use at NUSA, and why.
Premium teak
A noble wood with natural oils that make it resistant to humidity and the elements without any additional treatment. Over the years it develops a silvery gray patina that is highly sought after in outdoor design, or it can be kept golden with teak oil.
Aluminum with electrostatic coating
Lightweight, rust-free, and its powder coating protects it from corrosion even near the sea. It is the base of our frames because it combines strength with a slim, almost architectural visual profile.
Sunbrella® fabric
Solution-dyed acrylic fiber: the color isn't only on the surface but runs through the whole fiber, so it doesn't fade in the sun. It repels water and is easy to clean, even on pieces used every day.
High-density ceramic
We use it for tabletops because it resists heat, scratches and stains better than natural stone, without the weight or the maintenance the latter requires.
Knowing these materials helps you choose with better judgment: it isn't only about style, but about how long each piece is going to last in your space.
