Blending quiet elegance with outdoor resilience, Zaneti’s new collection arrives with versatility at its core.

What does it take to inspire colourful outdoor living? Zaneti answers that question with the introduction of three new timber and aluminium chairs designed for settings that demand beauty and endurance in equal measure. The Catania, Greta and Sauvage chairs extend the brand’s vision of creating furniture that sits comfortably across restaurants, residences and public spaces.

The range is anchored by a design language of pared-back silhouettes, softened curves and sculpted details. Each piece offers presence without intrusion, supporting the atmosphere of a room or terrace rather than overwhelming it. “At Zaneti, we’ve always believed that furniture should enrich a space with ease and longevity,” Zaneti Public Spaces director Yanni Mastrokostas says.

It’s a philosophy that reflects Zaneti’s wider strategy of offering seating solutions that adapt to multiple sectors. From the daily intensity of hospitality to the calm of residential living, the collection speaks to architects and designers searching for furniture that delivers long-term durability without compromising aesthetics.

Material intelligence

Each of the new chairs is shaped from European ash, a timber known for its clarity of grain and natural warmth. Subtle variations in tone and texture ensure no two pieces are ever identical. The result is a quiet individuality that adds depth and tactility to the sculpted forms.

The range also introduces advanced surface treatments and engineered components that elevate its outdoor credentials. Aluminium frames are powder-coated with UV-stabilised finishes that resist fading, even under the harsh Australian sun. This keeps outdoor settings fresh and vibrant over time while reducing the need for replacement.

A further detail is the use of cool-touch aluminium. Designed for comfort in hot climates, the material resists heat build-up, ensuring that chairs remain welcoming even under direct sun. This balance of material science and design sensitivity allows the collection to move easily between indoor and outdoor environments.

Character across three designs

The Catania chair embodies clarity of line and is conceived as a clean, versatile seat for indoor and outdoor use. Its restrained profile makes it an ideal choice for spaces where uniformity and simplicity are essential, such as cafés and restaurants.

Greta introduces a softer dimension with its curved backrest and optional upholstery. Its form encourages longer sitting, offering comfort without visual heaviness. The chair is well-suited to residential dining settings or commercial spaces where texture and tactility enhance the overall experience.

Sauvage takes a bolder stance. With a striking silhouette and stackable frame, it responds to the pragmatic needs of public venues and high-traffic hospitality environments while maintaining a refined presence. The ability to stack makes it practical for flexible layouts, event spaces and multipurpose facilities.

Each design brings its own character, yet together they represent a cohesive statement of what contemporary seating can achieve when utility and purity of form are held in balance.

Furniture for enduring spaces

The new range underscores Zaneti’s commitment to creating furniture that transcends single-purpose use. Rather than designing for one context, the chairs are imagined for life across many. This adaptability is key for today’s designers, who often seek furniture that can evolve with changing layouts and client demands.

“The Catania, Greta and Sauvage chairs continue our mission to design pieces that feel timeless in any setting,” Mastrokostas says. “They are practical, resilient and considerate of the environments in which they will live.”

By anchoring its designs in quality materials, forward-thinking engineering and restrained aesthetics, Zaneti positions itself firmly within the landscape of contemporary specification. The launch also reaffirms the brand’s role as a partner for architects and designers who value objects that endure both physically and stylistically.
