Wacky Weatherproof Wiggle Seats

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Barristro Outdoor Chairs Combine Quirky Style with Stability

The durable design can survive freezing cold temperatures, pelting rain and extremely hot summer days, making it very suitable for any climate or weather conditions. Made out of 99% recycled materials and a shiny Duracoat finish serves to make these chairs environmentally conscious and great furniture solutions for outdoor cafes and restaurant patios.

The curvy and stylized design of the Barristro outdoor chairs is what sets them apart from other outdoor furniture, with their funky fluid shape and bright colors.
