The Tuka CB1999-E armchair by Connubia is the epitome of the brand's outdoor collection, a project born to bring the iconic elegance and unparalleled comfort of indoor lines to the outdoors. This dining chair with armrests is designed to enhance city terraces, sophisticated rooftops, or lush gardens, encouraging a carefree and colorful desire for outdoor living. The contemporary, retro design of the Tuka family adapts to the outdoors thanks to a clever choice of high-tech materials: the enveloping polypropylene shell interacts with a treated tubular metal frame, creating a cheerful, vibrant, and extraordinarily durable furnishing accessory, a cornerstone of Made in Italy open-air design.

Benefits and Design
Total Weather Resistance: Every component is engineered for outdoor use. The metal base undergoes a preventive anti-rust treatment before painting, preventing corrosion caused by rain, humidity, and salt spray, while the polypropylene is enhanced with UV filters to preserve the colors' brightness under the sun.
Enveloping Garden Ergonomics: The contoured shell backrest and wide, rounded seat offer impeccable lumbar support. The integrated armrests invite extended relaxation, transforming outdoor dining into an experience of absolute comfort.
Windproof Stability (Weight Optimized): With a specific weight of 15.8 kg, the armchair has been deliberately calibrated to ensure extraordinary stability on the ground. It is immune to tipping over caused by sudden gusts of wind, a crucial factor for use on exposed rooftops or panoramic terraces.
Zero Maintenance and Quick Cleaning: The plastic polymer shell and painted metal legs are completely non-porous surfaces. They do not absorb liquids, dust, or tree resins: to sanitize them or remove rain residue, a simple wipe with water and neutral soap is sufficient.
Urban & Garden: The vibrant color palette allows for bold combinations or stark monochromes, making Tuka CB1999-E perfect for both a minimal, geometric outdoor urban layout and an organic fit into nature.
FAQ
What do the three heights (76-47-65 cm) indicated in the technical data sheet mean? They represent the three key points of Connubia ergonomics: 76 cm is the total height of the backrest from the ground; 47 cm is the seat height, ideal for comfortable dining; 65 cm is the height of the armrests, designed to allow the armchair to slide under most outdoor dining tables, optimizing space when not in use.
Is rainwater drained from the frame? Yes. The Tuka polypropylene shell design features a geometric opening between the backrest and the rounded seat. This functional space, in addition to lending visual lightness to the chair, serves as a natural drainage hole, preventing rainwater from pooling on the seat and promoting rapid drying.
Is it necessary to cover the Tuka outdoor chairs during the winter?
Although the materials are certified to withstand rain, frost, and UV rays, to preserve the product's aesthetics indefinitely and protect it from winter soot or extreme weather, it is always recommended to store the chairs in a sheltered area or use the appropriate protective covers during extended periods of non-use.
