Outdoor chairs are a must-have for any outdoor space, from busy cafés and restaurants to patios, gardens, and decks at home.
At Cintesi, we balance style with durability, offering a wide selection of plastic outdoor chairs and aluminium dining chairs designed for both New Zealand homes and commercial spaces. Available in a wide range of colours, our outdoor seating helps you create spaces that feel inviting, practical, and perfectly suited to NZ living.
Outdoor chairs are versatile enough to work across different settings:
Hospitality & cafés – Stackable polypropylene chairs and durable aluminium seating are built to withstand daily use, easy to clean, and simple to store making them a practical solution for busy service.
Residential patios & decks – Add garden chairs or Parisian-inspired outdoor seating to create a relaxed, colourful space for casual dining and entertaining.
Event & commercial spaces – Lightweight, colourful seating that’s easy to move and practical for large gatherings.
Polypropylene Outdoor Chairs (Plastic).
Lightweight, stackable, and UV-resistant, these plastic outdoor chairs are a favourite for cafés, schools, and backyards. Available in a wide range of colours, they combine function with personality, ideal when you want seating that reflects your brand or adds a pop of energy to your outdoor space.
Aluminium Outdoor Chairs.
Powder-coated aluminium chairs are strong yet lightweight, offering a sleek look that works for both modern patios and commercial dining. With weather resistance built in, they’re a reliable choice for New Zealand’s outdoor conditions.
Parisian Outdoor Chairs.
Crafted from a combination of aluminium and synthetic wicker, our Parisian chairs bring a touch of European café style to New Zealand. They’re a popular choice for restaurants wanting to create an inviting outdoor dining atmosphere, while also adding flair to patios and decks at home.
Outdoor furniture needs to be both stylish and durable, especially in New Zealand’s unique conditions. Here are key things to consider:
Weather resistance – Choose materials designed to handle rain, sun, and coastal air. Powder-coated aluminium and polypropylene chairs are particularly well-suited to NZ environments.
Storage & stackability – If you’re running a café or need to tidy away seating at home, opt for chairs that are easy to stack and store.
Colour & design – Outdoor spaces are a chance to experiment with colour. From neutral tones to bold hues, match your chairs to your table, branding, or overall design vision.
Maintenance – Polypropylene and aluminium are easy to wipe down, while wicker-look Parisian chairs offer style without the upkeep of natural rattan.
What size outdoor chairs should I choose for my table?
As a guide, most outdoor dining tables are 75cm high, so look for outdoor chairs with a seat height of around 45cm. Allow 25cm between the seat and the underside of the table and around 60cm clearance behind each chair for comfort and movement.
Which outdoor chair materials last longest in NZ weather?
We recommend powder-coated aluminium and UV-resistant polypropylene. Both are lightweight, strong, and designed to withstand New Zealand’s changing climate.
Can I use outdoor chairs indoors?
Yes. Many of our outdoor chairs — especially polypropylene designs — are lightweight, stylish, and practical indoors as well, making them a versatile option for cafés, dining rooms, or multipurpose spaces.
How do I care for outdoor chairs?
Choose UV-resistant polypropylene or powder-coated aluminium designs, and store cushions indoors when not in use. Simply wipe frames clean with mild soapy water to keep them looking fresh.
