Primary Materials
304 Stainless Steel
Our primary structural material, 304 stainless steel offers an exceptional balance of corrosion resistance, formability, and finish quality. This austenitic steel contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel, providing excellent resistance to atmospheric corrosion.
Technical Specifications
- Tensile Strength: 515 MPa
- Yield Strength: 205 MPa
- Hardness: 201 HB max
- Standard: ASTM A240
We source our 304 stainless steel exclusively from mills certified to ISO 9001 standards, ensuring consistent quality and traceability in every batch.
316 Stainless Steel
Reserved for our outdoor and high-humidity environment pieces, 316 stainless steel contains molybdenum, which gives it enhanced corrosion resistance, particularly against chlorides and industrial solvents. This makes it ideal for coastal residences and spa areas.
Technical Specifications
- Tensile Strength: 485 MPa
- Yield Strength: 170 MPa
- Hardness: 217 HB max
- Standard: ASTM A240
Our 316 stainless steel undergoes additional testing for marine environment suitability before being approved for use in our outdoor collections.
Secondary Materials
High-Density Foam Cushioning
Our seating features multi-layer high-resilience foam with densities ranging from 2.2 to 2.8 pounds per cubic foot. This carefully selected material provides the perfect balance of support and comfort while maintaining its shape over time.

- Semi-aniline (light protective coating)
- Protected (durable finish for high-use areas)
Performance Fabrics
Our curated collection of performance fabrics combines luxurious texture with practical durability. These textiles feature stain resistance, fade resistance, and exceptional wear ratings without sacrificing comfort or aesthetic appeal.
Key Features:
- 100,000+ double rub abrasion rating
- UV resistant for color fastness
- Eco-friendly manufacturing process
- Easy cleaning and maintenance
Glass and Stone Elements
For table tops and decorative accents, we select only the finest tempered glass and natural stone. Our glass is tempered to European safety standards, while our stone is sourced from responsible quarries with full traceability.
Options Include:
- Ultra-clear low-iron glass
- Etched and textured glass finishes
- Italian marble (Carrara, Calacatta)
- Granite and quartzite for durability
