Key Features
- Compact lounge proportions: At 74cm width, 80cm depth and 69cm height, with a 46cm seat height and 59cm arm height, the Saranac Lounge Chair provides a generous, low lounge seat in a compact footprint.
- Natural finish teak frame: The structural frame is crafted from natural finish teak, showcasing the timber’s grain and providing long-term outdoor durability.
- Raven rope back panel: A Raven colour woven outdoor rope back panel creates Saranac’s signature layered, strung look, adding texture and a sense of lightness while remaining suitable for outdoor conditions.
- Outdoor seat & back cushion included: An outdoor fabric seat and back cushion is included as standard, so the lounge chair arrives fully upholstered and ready to use; fabrics vary by geographic market.
- Protective cover accessory: A dedicated protective cover is available for the Saranac Lounge Chair, helping to reduce soiling and weathering when the chair is not in regular use.
- Designer-led timber & rope design: Designed by Mark Gabbertas, Saranac balances richly-grained teak with a rope back “strung like a lute” to create an inviting, contemporary outdoor lounge chair.

Materials & construction
Teak & rope structure
Natural finish teak frame: Saranac’s frame is built from natural finish teak, selected for its close grain, natural oil content and suitability for long-term outdoor exposure.
Raven rope back panel: The back panel is formed from Raven colour outdoor rope, creating a layered, strung appearance that remains durable in outdoor settings and visually light when viewed from behind.
Outdoor cushion technology
Solution-dyed acrylic fabrics: Gloster describes its upholstery fabrics as being made from solution-dyed acrylic yarns, where colour runs through the fibre to improve UV fade resistance, with surface finishes that help water and stains bead on the fabric.
Performance fabric groups: Outdoor Performance, Water Resistant and Soft Touch fabric groups provide different balances of softness, water resistance and texture while remaining suitable for extended outdoor use.
Usage & care
Seating applications
Single lounge chair: With a 74cm width and relaxed sitting height, the Saranac Lounge Chair is ideal as a standalone accent chair or as part of a larger Saranac seating grouping alongside 2-seater and 3-seater sofas, chaise and ottoman.
Protective cover: A dedicated protective cover is available and recommended to help keep teak, rope and cushions cleaner between uses and during off-season storage.
Teak, rope, fabric & cover care
Teak maintenance: Gloster recommends allowing teak to weather naturally with periodic cleaning, avoiding power washing and traditional teak oils, and using Teak & Upholstery Cleaner and Protector where additional stain resistance is desired.
Rope, fabric & cover care: Outdoor rope and fabrics benefit from prompt cleaning of spills and gentle washing with suitable cleaners, while Weathermax protective covers should be fitted to dry furniture and kept free of standing water for best performance.
Why choose Gloster Saranac
Design excellence: Designed by Mark Gabbertas, the Gloster Saranac Lounge Chair blends a natural finish teak frame with a Raven rope back panel and outdoor fabric cushions to create a warm yet visually light outdoor lounge chair. With its carefully judged proportions, rope-strung back detail, and Gloster’s performance-driven approach to teak, rope, fabrics and protective covers, Saranac is a durable, comfortable and visually distinctive choice for contemporary outdoor lounge spaces.
Warranty
Gloster’s warranty terms state that outdoor furniture is warranted to the original purchaser against defective materials and workmanship under intended reasonable use, with teak frames, rope components, cushions and protective covers each covered under defined terms when correctly maintained. Natural teak weathering, small end-grain cracks and normal cushion and rope ageing are considered part of expected outdoor use rather than manufacturing defects.
