Manutti Sandua Dining Chair – Alu

The Sandua Outdoor Dining Chair – Alu by Manutti is a masterful union of precision engineering and artisanal craftsmanship — where a powder-coated aluminium (PCA) frame in Lava or Flint cradles the same organically shaped, handwoven Dicord® shell that defines the Sandua collection. Designed by Robin Hapelt, the Alu variant delivers the Sandua's signature combination of flat HDPE wicker and rope — woven using traditional Southeast Asian techniques — in a frame of pure outdoor aluminium, offering the corrosion resistance and structural permanence of PCA alongside the warmth and tactile richness of handwoven Dicord®. With plush weather-resistant cushions available across 58 premium outdoor fabrics, the Sandua Dining Chair – Alu brings sophisticated outdoor dining splendour to any residential terrace, resort, or hospitality setting requiring refined durability alongside artisanal character.

Key Features

• Powder-Coated Aluminium (PCA) Frame: Available in Lava (warm mid-tone charcoal) or Flint (refined cool silver-grey) — precision-engineered from high-grade aluminium with a durable powder-coat finish that delivers exceptional corrosion resistance, UV stability, and structural rigidity for intensive outdoor use in residential, commercial hospitality, and marine environments without any maintenance requirement.
• Handwoven Dicord® Shell: The organically shaped shell combines flat HDPE wicker and rope in Anthracite (paired with Lava) or Pepper (paired with Flint) — handwoven using traditional Southeast Asian techniques adapted for modern outdoor luxury. UV and weather-resistant, the Dicord® shell maintains its structural integrity and visual richness across all climate conditions.
• Designer Artisanship: Created by Robin Hapelt as an ode to true craftsmanship — where the cool precision of powder-coated aluminium and the warm handwoven character of Dicord® combine in perfect material contrast, delivering a modern take on traditional weaving in a rigorously outdoor-engineered form.
• Opulent Cushions: Plush, weather-resistant seat and back cushions in 58 premium outdoor fabrics across Categories A, B, and C ensure maximum comfort during extended outdoor dining, with full FR (fire retardant) options available across the range for commercial and hospitality applications.
• Adjustable Feet: Precision-engineered adjustable feet provide stable, level positioning on slightly uneven outdoor surfaces — stone patios, timber decks, pool terraces — protecting both the frame and flooring during intensive daily use.
• Protective Cover Available: An optional weather-resistant cover is available to shield the Sandua Dining Chair – Alu from outdoor elements during harsh weather or off-season storage, extending its visual appearance and finish year after year.

Why Choose Manutti

Design Excellence in Aluminium: The Sandua Dining Chair – Alu brings Robin Hapelt's vision of material contrast to its purest outdoor expression — pairing the cool, engineered precision of powder-coated aluminium (Lava or Flint) with the warm, handwoven character of Dicord® in Anthracite or Pepper. Where the Teak variant ages naturally with the patina of sustainably sourced timber, the Alu variant offers the complete corrosion resistance and structural permanence of PCA — maintenance-free, marine-grade, and equally suited to the most demanding outdoor dining environments of residential and commercial hospitality distinction.

Warranty

The Sandua Dining Chair – Alu is covered by Manutti's comprehensive manufacturer warranty, covering structural integrity of the powder-coated aluminium frame and Dicord® shell, and cushion performance for outdoor use. The optional protective cover extends year-round protection for both frame and weave across all outdoor conditions.

Dimensions & Specifications

The Sandua Dining Chair – Alu shares the same refined dining proportions as the Teak variant — 26.4" width, 26.0" depth, 31.9" overall height, and 16.9" seat height — delivering ergonomic outdoor dining comfort in the same organically shaped Dicord® shell, now cradled in a powder-coated aluminium frame in Lava or Flint.
