Outdoor luxury furnishings manufacturer Royal Botania‘s latest outdoor furnishings collection is made using marine-grade materials that are designed to withstand the elements while also maintaining a chic and polished appearance.

Royal Botania’s Summer 2013 Collection is designed to withstand the salty air of the beach, the windy conditions on the decks of yachts and the beating sun on urban rooftops around the world.

Made from resilient materials such as teak, stainless steel, Batyline® and Stamskin® marine leather, the collection includes five new designs.

The sleek Zidiz collection includes tables and chairs made from teak, a wood that is lightweight yet strong and resistant to outdoor elements. Thanks to naturally high oil content, it has built-in weather resistance resisting decay and splintering. Because of this, it is not necessary to seal or treat the wood for protection.

Vigor is a refined version of traditional picnic furniture and includes an "haute rustic" table and matching bench or stools made using time-honoured woodworking techniques. Its powder coated aluminum frame complements the rough-hewn, high-quality top offered in mahogany or teak.

Streamlined, stylish and stackable, the Allura dining chairs feature an aluminum frame, which is available in textured black, white or a champagne finish, and a seat made in in Batyline - an extremely flexible, high quality and durable mesh that is used on yachts and sailboats as shadesails, solar protection screens and sail covers. Mildew and UV resistant, Batyline consists of a polyester fiber covered by a coating of PVC.

The Ninix outdoor lounge set features chic stainless steel accents that are available in a 304-grade, as well as a 304-EP electro polished or marine-grade stainless steel. The latter treatment increases resistance to corrosion and helps prevent salt water and chlorine damage. The treatment is typically used for cleats, hinges, and other boat fixtures.

Finally, the Lazy is a modular, customizable sectional seating system made for relaxation. Lazy consists of an extruded aluminum frame and supreme all-weather cushions. Both UV and water-resistant, available materials include either black tuxedo linen or white or beige Stamskin®, a neo-composite marine-leather that has antifungal and antibacterial properties. The back of these fabrics are laminated with a TPU membrane and the cushions are protected with a "Rain Stop" skin that allows them to breathe while still giving full waterproof protection.
