&Tradition Garden Furniture

&Tradition Garden Furniture

&Tradition garden furniture brings Scandinavian design into outdoor spaces through considered proportions, durable materials and collections created for everyday use. The range includes garden chairs, dining tables, benches, lounge seating, coffee tables, footstools and coordinated furniture sets for patios, terraces, courtyards, balconies and larger gardens.

The collection is led by Thorvald, designed by Space Copenhagen, and Ville, designed by Anderssen & Voll. These two families offer different interpretations of outdoor living. Thorvald uses powder-coated steel and open grid detailing, while Ville combines architectural metal frames with teak and woven surfaces.

The wider range also includes the RFH terrace collection, providing further options for outdoor dining and hospitality-inspired settings.

Scandinavian garden furniture for everyday use

&Tradition creates outdoor furniture intended to make gardens and terraces feel like a natural extension of the home. Its collections balance practical considerations with forms influenced by Scandinavian architecture, furniture and landscape.

Outdoor furniture must cope with changing temperatures, sunlight, moisture and regular movement. The specific materials and care requirements vary between products, but powder-coated steel, outdoor webbing and teak feature across the collection.

The restrained colour palette makes the furniture easy to position in both urban and rural settings. Warm black creates a defined outline against pale paving and planting, bronze green sits naturally alongside foliage, and ivory provides a softer contrast with brick, timber and stone.

When selecting a finish, consider the surrounding architecture as well as the garden. Repeating the colour of window frames, railings or exterior lighting can help connect the furniture with the building.

The &Tradition Thorvald collection

Designed by Space Copenhagen, the Thorvald collection takes inspiration from the work and surroundings of Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen. Its gently curved frames contrast with linear grid-patterned seats and tabletops, producing outdoor furniture that feels structured without appearing heavy.

The collection includes dining chairs, lounge chairs, dining tables, café tables, benches, lounge sofas and coffee tables. Coordinated sets are also available for dining, lounging, bistro and picnic arrangements.

Smaller round and square tables work well on balconies and compact patios, while longer dining tables and benches provide seating for larger gatherings. The lounge sofa and low tables can be used to create a separate outdoor sitting area away from the main dining space.

Because the open grid allows light to pass through the furniture, Thorvald casts changing shadows during the day. This makes it particularly effective on simple paved, gravelled or rendered surfaces where the outline remains visible.

The &Tradition Ville collection

The Ville collection by Anderssen & Voll combines powder-coated steel frames with teak and woven outdoor surfaces. The contrast between the defined metal structure and warmer natural materials gives Ville a different character from an entirely steel collection.

Ville includes garden dining tables, chairs, benches, lounge chairs, stools and footstools. This makes it possible to create connected dining and lounging areas without using exactly the same furniture throughout the garden.

The dining chairs are available with different arm details, while tables and benches come in sizes suited to compact patios and larger terraces. The Ville lounge chair can be paired with its matching footstool to create a comfortable reading or relaxation area.

Teak changes naturally when exposed to outdoor conditions. If left untreated, its colour will gradually weather towards a silver-grey tone. Maintenance requirements depend on whether you want to retain more of the original colour or allow the material to age naturally. Follow the care instructions provided for the individual product.

&Tradition garden dining furniture

An outdoor dining area should provide enough room for chairs to be pulled out and for people to move comfortably around the table. Before selecting a table, measure the usable surface rather than the total size of the garden or terrace.

Round and square tables work well in smaller courtyards and on balconies because they create a defined dining area without requiring the length of a rectangular table. Longer tables are better suited to larger households and regular entertaining.

Garden benches can provide flexible seating and may create less visual interruption than a row of chairs. A combination of chairs and a bench is useful where the number of diners changes frequently.

Check the position of table legs before deciding how many chairs will fit. The overall length of a table does not always represent its usable seating space. Armchairs also require more clearance than chairs without arms.

&Tradition garden furniture sets

A coordinated furniture set makes it easier to choose compatible table and seating dimensions. The Thorvald collection includes dining, bistro, picnic and lounge sets in several configurations, allowing the arrangement to be selected according to the available space and number of users.

A bistro set is appropriate for a balcony, small courtyard or morning coffee area. Medium and large dining sets suit patios used for meals and entertaining, while lounge arrangements create a lower and more relaxed seating area.

Before choosing a set, mark its complete footprint on the ground. Include the additional space required when chairs are occupied and pulled away from the table. On a narrow terrace, check that the arrangement leaves an unobstructed route between the house and garden.

Garden lounge furniture

Outdoor lounge furniture creates a more relaxed alternative to upright dining seating. Low chairs, footstools, sofas and coffee tables work well in sunny corners, beside planting or in areas used for drinks and informal conversation.

The Thorvald lounge sofa provides a structured all-metal option, while the Ville lounge chair and footstool introduce teak and woven elements. The right choice depends on the desired seating position, available space and the materials already used in the garden.

Position lounge furniture where there is a useful relationship with shade, views and access to the house. Avoid overcrowding the area with too many small pieces. One lounge chair and footstool may work better on a compact terrace than a full sofa arrangement.

Materials and outdoor furniture care

Powder-coated steel provides a strong structure and consistent colour, but it should still be cared for correctly. Clean surfaces according to the manufacturer’s instructions and avoid abrasive products that could damage the finish. Chips or scratches should not be ignored because they can expose the material beneath the coating.

Teak contains natural oils that make it well suited to outdoor furniture. Its colour will change with exposure unless it is maintained to preserve its warmer original tone. Always use products intended for outdoor teak and follow the specific care guidance.

Outdoor webbing should be kept clean and allowed to dry properly. Cushions and removable textiles may require dry storage when not in use, even when the furniture itself is suitable for exterior conditions.

During extended periods of poor weather, protective covers or sheltered storage can help keep outdoor furniture cleaner and reduce unnecessary exposure. Covers should fit correctly and allow ventilation rather than trapping moisture against the furniture.

Planning furniture for a balcony or small garden

Compact outdoor spaces benefit from careful measurement. Begin with the activities that matter most. A small table and chairs may be more useful than lounge seating if the space is primarily used for meals. If relaxation is the priority, a lounge chair, footstool and small table may provide greater comfort.

Round tables can improve circulation where space is restricted, while chairs that can be stacked make seasonal storage easier. Check the individual product details because stacking capability and recommended stack height vary between models.

Colour also affects how furniture feels in a limited area. Ivory and open grid structures can appear visually lighter, while warm black creates a more defined architectural effect. Bronze green helps the furniture relate to planting and surrounding foliage.

Lighting &Tradition garden furniture

Portable lighting can extend the use of an outdoor dining or lounge area after sunset. A cordless lamp on a table provides localised illumination without a cable crossing the setting, while several smaller lights can help define different parts of a terrace.

&Tradition portable lamps include designs that can move between indoor and outdoor settings, but suitability varies between models. Only use a lamp outside when its specifications confirm that it is approved for exterior use and has an appropriate IP rating.

Choosing &Tradition outdoor furniture

Begin with the size and purpose of the space. Decide whether dining, lounging or a combination of both is the priority. Measure the available area, account for circulation and consider where sunlight and shade fall during the day.

Thorvald is a strong choice for a consistent steel collection with sculptural curves and open grid details. Ville introduces a warmer combination of metal, teak and webbing. Both can be used across dining and lounge settings, while the RFH collection offers another approach to terrace furniture.
