The designer metal chair: versatile for home and garden
Metal and steel may not immediately bring comfort or a cosy atmosphere to mind. However, modern metal chairs can offer both, particularly when combined with wood, plastic or upholstered elements. Metal is also durable. The Wire Chair DKW by Vitra is a design classic that combines a wire seat shell with a maple base. The warm wood tones work well with the back and seat cushions, which you can order at the same time. In the garden, designer chairs made from metal are sturdy and easy to store. Add a Mediterranean feel to your patio with the Bistro folding chair by Fermob. Matching garden tables from the Bistro collection are also available in a range of colours.

1. Materials and options
Metal offers many advantages as a material for designer chairs. The right choice depends on how you plan to use them. Aluminium is lightweight and particularly suitable for chairs that need to be stacked or moved often. A comfortable steel chair can benefit from a mix of materials, such as wood or plastic. Dining chairs need to be sturdy and easy to care for, while still fitting into your interior. The Hee chair by HAY is made entirely from metal. This design also reflects an environmental consideration. To challenge throwaway habits, HAY's designers created a new take on a classic steel chair that can be recycled. Using a single material makes it easier to reuse the raw material and reduces the energy needed for transport. The functional design has a simple yet elegant look. Metal chairs are available in black, white and other colours – why not combine different versions?
2. Classic meets innovation: the design and shape of metal chairs
Metal chairs for the garden or home come in a wide range of designs and shapes. Proven classics express their owners' personalities just as much as innovative designs do. Combining the two can be an elegant way to furnish your space. The classic A Chair by Tolix is also available with a generously curved backrest. Since French designer Xavier Pauchard created his steel chair, it has become a fixture of factory-inspired interiors. The A 56 offers the familiar look with an industrial feel, as well as comfortable armrests for indoor and outdoor use. The outdoor version is made from sturdy, weather-resistant stainless steel and can be stacked for storage.
3. Tips for cleaning metal chairs
Industrial-style design chairs express a minimalist approach to living. The A Chair by Tolix captures this attitude particularly well, with its simple, practical design. The stackable metal chair is available in black or grey and reflects the lifestyle of the modern city dweller. It is easy to care for, in keeping with its minimalist design. A little lukewarm soapy water and a soft cloth are usually enough. Metal garden chairs are also robust. To help protect them from the weather, you can apply a little car wax once a year with a soft cloth. With a little care, you can enjoy your designer metal chair for years to come.
