Details on High-Quality Materials Range

1. Extruded Aluminum Frame and Stainless Steel Components

The Ciak chair's supporting frame is made entirely of extruded aluminum, a material of choice for outdoor furniture thanks to its extraordinary balance between structural strength and lightness. All connecting components and loose hardware are made of stainless steel, a key choice for ensuring a consistently smooth and friction-free closing mechanism over time.

2. Exclusive emu-coat Anti-Corrosion Treatment

The chair is completely resistant to rust and the degrading effect of humidity thanks to the exclusive emu-coat protective process. This advanced industrial coating perfectly seals the metal surfaces, insulating them from external chemical agents, salt water, and chlorine. For routine maintenance, simply clean the frame with a soft cloth dampened with water and neutral soap, avoiding wire brushes or abrasive cleaners.

3. Outdoor Technical Fabric Seat

The seat and backrest are made of a high-tenacity technical fabric specifically designed for outdoor use. This material is designed to withstand continuous exposure to UV rays without fading, does not retain moisture, and dries very quickly after a rainstorm. Its elastic weave accommodates the weight of the body, ensuring excellent ergonomics even without additional cushions.

4. Varnished Beech Armrest

A touch of organic warmth and artisanal care breaks the minimalist rigor of the metal: the armrest is made of fine beech wood. The protective tone-on-tone finish not only faithfully matches the color of the frame for a clean, monochromatic visual impact, but also protects the wood from the destabilizing effects of climate change.
