Outdoor furniture for the contract sector plays a fundamental role in the creation of attractive, functional and durable outdoor spaces in commercial environments like hotels, restaurants, bars, resorts, offices and public spaces. In today's article, we are going to go into more detail on the characteristics this type of furniture needs to have.
Characteristics of contract furniture for outdoors
To stand out in this competitive market and meet customers' expectations, contract furniture needs to incorporate a series of key features:
- Attractive design: Aesthetics is essential to attract customers and make a positive impression in contract spaces. As manufacturers of this type of furniture, at Resol we've got it all figured out, which is why we offer an extensive range of designs that adapt to different styles. In our catalogue, our furniture ranges from modern minimalistic pieces, like our Tokyo chair, to classic, rustic pieces, like our Toledo chair. Thus we guarantee that our furniture blends in with its surroundings perfectly.
- Great durability: Given that these contract spaces are subject to intensive use and especially if they are outdoors, durability is essential. At Resol, we use high quality materials and most of our outdoor furniture has UV protection so it can withstand exposure to harsh weather, humidity and daily wear and tear. One example is our Raff set or our Marina Club lounger, two pieces of furniture that also contain textile elements that can withstand prolonged exposure to the elements and retain their original look.
- Easy to maintain: With contract furniture, it's essential to choose a type of furniture that doesn't require too much maintenance. That's why we recommend opting for materials and finishes that are easy to clean and maintain. The best thing to do to reduce maintenance time and costs is to choose smooth, stain-resistant surfaces, as well as removable, washable fabrics. That's why our Toledo table, with any of its finishes, together with our Shape armchair are the ideal solution for those who are looking for a balance between design, comfort and maintenance.
- Ergonomic design: Outdoor furniture must also be comfortable for users, especially in situations where they will spend long periods of time, like restaurants or common areas in hotels. We recommend designing ergonomic spaces, with padded cushions and water-resistant fabrics, as well as adequate backrests to provide maximum comfort. Without a doubt, our Anou chair is the perfect example of comfort and ergonomic design.
- Versatility and easy maintenance: The contract sector often requires flexible solutions that can adapt to different events and changing needs. If furniture needs to be frequently stored or moved, the best thing is to opt for light, stackable models.
- Regulations and safety: Complying with safety and quality regulations is essential. Before choosing any piece of furniture, it is essential to check that it complies with the relevant standards and regulations.

At Resol, we use sustainable materials and carry out environmentally-friendly manufacturing processes.
