The Tenerife garden chair with armrests by Moia represents the ultimate evolution of comfort and design applied to outdoor furniture. Designed to complement exclusive outdoor spaces, elegant patios, and spacious dining areas, this dining chair combines the rigorous geometric cleanliness of contemporary design with a sophisticated combination of high-quality materials. The supporting frame, entirely forged from solid extruded aluminum, houses an enveloping shell in technical textilene featuring innovative integrated padding that guarantees an extraordinarily soft and welcoming seat without the need for additional cushions. Enhanced by the armrest tops covered in fine natural teak wood, the Tenerife chair offers an elite relaxation experience combined with perfect space-saving stackability.

Color Configurations and Style Philosophy

The Tenerife chair is available in two refined color variations, factory-designed to coordinate perfectly with the extendable tables from the Moia line:

• Anthracite Configuration (Total Dark Elegance): Matte anthracite aluminum frame paired with a black padded textilene seat and backrest. The teak armrests create a warm and luxurious contrast, ideal for modern, minimalist outdoor spaces with a strong industrial-chic feel.
• White Configuration (Bright Mediterranean): Matte white aluminum frame paired with an ivory padded textilene seat and backrest. The teak wood detail enhances the chair's luminosity, offering an ethereal, fresh, and sunny option, ideal for verandas and poolside areas.

Material Details and Maintenance Guidelines

1. Extruded Aluminum Frame

The aluminum selected by Moia is completely free of ferrous components and is 100% immune to rust and oxidation. The frame remains unaltered by rain, nighttime humidity, salt spray, and chlorine.
Use and Maintenance: Clean the metal frame with a soft cloth dampened with fresh water and neutral liquid soap. Avoid steel wool or ultra-acidic industrial degreasers, which could scratch the matte finish.

2. Padded Textilene Seat and Backrest

This technology combines an outer shell of high-tenacity textilene (UV-resistant PVC-coated polyester) with an inner layer of high-density, open-cell technical foam.
Use and Maintenance: Textilene does not retain water, and the internal padding is engineered to quickly wick away moisture, drying quickly. For routine cleaning, wipe with a soft sponge and neutral soap and then rinse with running water. During the winter, we recommend washing the seats, letting them dry completely in the sun, and storing them stacked in a covered area or protected by a breathable cover.

3. Natural Teak Wood Armrest Inserts

Teak is a noble and highly prized tropical wood, rich in natural oils that make it water-repellent, stable, and completely resistant to rot.
Use and Maintenance: When exposed to sunlight, teak will develop a natural and elegant silvery-gray patina over time. If you want to maintain its original honey-colored hue, apply a thin layer of teak-specific protective oil once a year. Remove any grease or food stains promptly with water and neutral soap.

Benefits and Design

• Premium Soft-Touch Comfort: Unlike common chairs made of simple textilene or bare metal, Tenerife features soft, water-repellent structural padding. This solution offers the same comfort as an upholstered indoor chair, eliminating the inconvenience of having to buy, place, and remove loose cushions every time it rains.
• Detail of the ArmrestsThermal "Anti-Shock" Teak: In addition to lending a touch of warm, handcrafted elegance, the real teak wood covering on the armrests performs a fundamental technical function: it prevents direct contact between the forearms and the metal frame, which in direct summer sun could accumulate heat and be uncomfortable to the touch.
• Vertical Stackability Engineering: Despite the presence of the armrests and the rich padding, the Tenerife chair is geometrically structured to allow for fluid, lightweight, and safe vertical stacking of multiple units. This space-saving feature allows you to clear the terrace space or store the seats in seconds during the winter.
• Wear-Resistant Protective Feet: The lower ends of the legs are equipped with protective pads made of high-density engineering plastic. These inserts prevent the metal from directly rubbing against the floor, dampen dragging noises, and protect even the most demanding floors, such as wooden decking or porcelain tiles, from scratches or scuffs.

FAQ

What happens if the internal padding gets wet during a heavy rainstorm? Will the chair be damaged?
No, the chair will not suffer any damage. The internal padding is made of draining technical foam and is enclosed in a micro-perforated textilene weave. This system allows rainwater to pass through the chair and drain quickly, preventing internal liquid stagnation, preventing the formation of mold or unpleasant odors, and ensuring rapid drying times as soon as the sun returns.

Will the teak armrests be damaged if I wash the chair with running water?
Absolutely not. Teak wood is renowned in the nautical industry for its complete waterproofness and resistance to both fresh and salt water. You can wash the Tenerife chair entirely without any worries; just be careful not to use harsh chemical detergents or bleach on the wood; use only neutral soap.

Is the chair delivered fully assembled?
Yes, the Tenerife chair is delivered fully assembled and structured as a single piece directly from the factory. This ensures maximum geometric solidity and far superior resistance to mechanical stress compared to self-assembly chairs, making the chairs ready for immediate use and stacking.
