Key Features
- Versatile ottoman format: At 74cm width, 59cm depth and 46cm height, the Saranac Ottoman functions as a generous footstool for Saranac sofas and lounge chairs or as an occasional extra seat.
- Natural finish teak frame: The ottoman frame is crafted from natural finish teak, matching the Saranac seating collection and providing a warm, durable timber base for outdoor use.
- Outdoor seat cushion included: An outdoor fabric seat cushion is included as standard, so no additional cushion purchase is needed to complete the ottoman.
- Coordinates with Saranac seating: The ottoman is designed to coordinate with Saranac 2-seater and 3-seater sofas, chaise and lounge chairs in both proportion and cushion detailing.
- Protective cover accessory: A dedicated protective cover is available for the Saranac Ottoman, helping to reduce soiling and weathering when the ottoman is not in regular use.

Materials & construction
Teak structure
Natural finish teak frame: The Saranac Ottoman uses a natural finish teak frame, selected for its close grain, natural oil content and suitability for long-term outdoor exposure.
Coordinated detailing: The teak frame detailing echoes the design language of the Saranac sofas and lounge chairs, ensuring visual consistency across the collection.
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
Ottoman applications
Footstool & extra seat: The Saranac Ottoman is designed to work as a footstool in front of Saranac sofas and lounge chairs and as an occasional extra seat in more flexible lounge layouts.
Protective cover: A dedicated protective cover is available and recommended to keep the teak frame and cushion cleaner between uses and during off-season storage.
Teak, 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.
Fabric & cover care: Outdoor cushions benefit from prompt cleaning of spills and periodic maintenance, 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 Ottoman extends the Saranac collection’s natural finish teak language into a versatile footstool and extra seating piece. Combined with Gloster’s performance-driven approach to teak, outdoor fabrics and protective covers, it is a practical and visually coherent addition to contemporary outdoor lounge settings.
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, cushions and protective covers each covered under defined terms when correctly maintained. Natural teak weathering, small end-grain cracks and normal cushion ageing are considered part of expected outdoor use rather than manufacturing defects.
