Tavira Outdoor Dining Set

The Tavira — a five-piece outdoor dining set in handwoven faux rattan over a powder-coated aluminium frame, comprising a large round glass-topped table with parasol hole and four sculpted high-backed dining chairs. Finished in warm taupe-brown tones with cream cushions, sized to seat four across a terrace, courtyard or garden patio.

The Tavira brings the kind of build quality that lifts a garden dining set above the seasonal disposable alternatives that dominate the category — a powder-coated aluminium frame is wrapped in a tightly woven flat-strand faux rattan in warm taupe, the same construction approach as premium outdoor furniture from brands like Tribù and Manutti, executed in a tighter, more refined weave than the chunkier chair shapes more common at this price point. Aluminium gives the set its longevity outdoors: it doesn't rust, doesn't rot and stays light enough to reposition between sun and shade as the day moves around. The high-backed chairs have a sculpted curve from seat to shoulder that flares outward at the base — a quietly architectural shape that catches the eye from across a garden — and the round glass-topped table is centred on a parasol hole, ready for a sunshade overhead in high summer.

What sets it apart

The detail that makes it different

The sculpted chair silhouette is the move that gives the Tavira its specific character — most outdoor dining chairs are flat-backed cafe seats with rigid 90-degree posture, a configuration that's fine for a quick coffee but reads as functional rather than designed across a long lunch. The Tavira chair flares gently outward from a narrow seat line up to a tall, gently curved back, giving the set a sense of formality and presence usually reserved for indoor dining furniture. The warm taupe-brown weave is the second considered choice — darker than greige, lighter than walnut — sitting in the same tonal family as terracotta tiles, weathered teak decking and stone, rather than the cool grey or chalky white of more typical outdoor sets.
