However big an outdoor area you have to play with, stylish stackable seating is a genuine game changer! Helping to make storage simpler, creating extra space when needed, and ensuring spare seats are ready to pull out at a moment’s notice, it all adds up to one thing – greater flexibility for you! Here’s a rundown of our favourite stacking seats that can suit anything from a spacious terrace to a compact patio.

1. Panama Dark stacking armchair

This is a real crowd pleaser, as it is available in a choice of material. Take your pick from Panama Dark in DuraOcean® – a unique recycled material made from marine plastic waste – which comes in a chic sanded black, or in the innovative Weather–Net®, complete with padded headrest for maximum comfort. Both versions boast matt black rust-free aluminium frames, enhanced by wood effect arm rests to warm up the look. You can’t go wrong with either choice, as both models are extremely durable and 100% maintenance free. Team these sensational stacking chairs with a selection of tables to create a bistro set, or a 2, 4 or 6 seat dining arrangement. This versatile stacking chair can even be converted into a duo coffee set with footrests, giving you laidback lounging as and when you want.

2. Aruba stacking carver chair

Picturing a stacking chair, you probably envision something slimline and simple. What you may not imagine is an intricately-woven, premium-feel carver chair. That’s why the Aruba stacking chair, with its subtle grey tones, tactile weave and comfy cushion, is shoe-in on this list. The Aruba family of furniture is made from double-crescent Petan®, handwoven and wrapped over elegant aluminium frames, making the chairs and tables in this collection incredibly tough, yet lightweight, whilst also being 100% maintenance free (you’ll find this is a running theme with our furniture). The beauty of the Aruba stacking chair is that, even with a small patio or balcony, you can still experience the joys of an elegant rattan-style set of furniture. A variety of round or rectangular tables are available to help you create the set up you want for two, to six seats.

3. Topaz stacking armchair

Part of a new collection launched this summer, Topaz stacking armchairs bring together the beauty of sleek aluminium, sumptuous low-maintenance Weather-Net® and warm teak touches, showcasing modern dining with a luxurious feel. Sofas in this range boast plush Olefin cushions and soft, tactile rope but it’s the stacking chairs, with their curved backs and stunning teak armrests, that are the stars of the show.

Ideal for transforming a casual sofa set to relaxed dining arrangement for up to 6 people – as with the Topaz Casual Dining Set – simply add in extra seats when needed and then stack them away when not in use. The ability to stack chairs out of the way like this affords you a more intimate entertaining space for when you have fewer guests or a classic sofa set up for when you just want to lounge by yourself.

4. Amber stacking armchair

Another brand-new collection featuring stylish stacking seating is Amber, with their robust aluminium frame, comfy Weather–Net® and charming cylindrical teak armrests that perfectly match the showstopping teak table in this range. Oozing mid-century modern chic, with the quirky woodwork, clean lines and soft curved shapes, Amber stacking armchairs are an effortless way to add extra seating for unexpected diners or to remove unnecessary seats when you want a bit more space. They are also very handy if people want to congregate away from the table after dinner in a more relaxed setting, as the lightweight aluminium frame makes it a breeze to relocate the striking armchairs to wherever you need them next.

5. Solana stacking wheel lounger

No space for sun loungers in your garden? Think again because, with this stunning stacking set in the Solana collection, loungers don’t have to be out all the time taking up precious room. Perfect for when you want to enjoy a spot of sunbathing or indulge in a good book, the sleek Solana wheel loungers provide optimum comfort and support, with an adjustable backrest. When you’re finished, they can be neatly stacked away to free up space for other outdoor activities.

The robust aluminium frame and Weather-Net® technology make these loungers resistant to whatever the British weather throws at them – meaning they can stay out year-round – but, if you are someone who likes to cover your furniture in the colder months, the stacking function of makes storing the loungers over winter a doddle.

This smart seat is complemented by stacking carver chairs and folding multi-position chairs in the Solana collection for outstanding versatility and choice.
