Manutti Sandua High Back Lounge Chair – Alu

The Sandua Outdoor High Back Lounge Chair – Alu by Manutti is an enveloping, upright outdoor armchair of exceptional presence — where a powder-coated aluminium (PCA) frame in Lava or Flint supports a tall, organically shaped handwoven Dicord® shell that cradles the body from seat to head in complete support and artisanal warmth. Designed by Robin Hapelt, this high back Alu variant delivers the Sandua's signature combination of flat HDPE wicker and rope — woven using traditional Southeast Asian techniques — in an upright lounge format with a 19.7" seat height, 12.6" arm height, and a sweeping 37.0" overall height that delivers full back and neck support rarely found in outdoor seating. With its generous 37.8" × 37.8" footprint, plush weather-resistant cushions across 58 premium outdoor fabrics, and zero-maintenance PCA durability, the Sandua High Back Lounge Chair – Alu is the statement outdoor armchair for covered terraces, resort lounge areas, and sophisticated outdoor living settings demanding equal measures of visual authority and enduring comfort.

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 delivering 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® High Back Shell: The sweeping, high-backed organically shaped shell extends to 37.0" overall height, combining 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. The elevated back delivers full spinal, shoulder, and head support for extended outdoor relaxation.
• Upright Lounge Proportions with Arms: At 19.7" seat height, 12.6" arm height, and a 37.8" × 37.8" generous square footprint, the High Back Lounge Chair occupies a commanding presence between a deep lounge chair and a classic outdoor armchair — offering the relaxed ease of the Sandua collection in an upright, fully supported seating posture ideal for extended outdoor entertaining and conversation settings.
• 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® reach their most architecturally authoritative expression in the high back form, delivering a modern outdoor armchair of unmistakable identity and enduring material distinction.
• Opulent Cushions: Plush, weather-resistant seat and back cushions in 58 premium outdoor fabrics across Categories A, B, and C fill the full depth of the high back shell for maximum lounge comfort, 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, covered terraces — protecting both the frame and flooring throughout daily use.
• Protective Cover Available: An optional weather-resistant cover is available to shield the Sandua High Back Lounge Chair – Alu from outdoor elements during harsh weather or off-season storage, preserving both the PCA frame finish and Dicord® shell across all seasons.

Why Choose Manutti

Design Excellence in Aluminium: The Sandua High Back Lounge Chair – Alu is the most architecturally commanding piece in the Sandua Alu collection — its sweeping 37.0" Dicord® shell in Anthracite or Pepper rising from a Lava or Flint powder-coated aluminium frame to deliver full spinal, shoulder, and head support that is exceptionally rare in outdoor seating of this material character. Where the standard Lounge Chair offers a low, deeply relaxed posture, the High Back variant elevates the seating experience to one of genuine outdoor grandeur — equally at home as a standalone terrace statement piece, in pairs flanking an outdoor fireplace, or as the anchor seat of a resort hospitality lounge setting of contemporary distinction and complete material permanence.

Warranty

The Sandua High Back Lounge 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 High Back Lounge Chair – Alu features a generous square 37.8" × 37.8" footprint, a sweeping 37.0" overall height, 19.7" seat height, and 12.6" arm height — delivering full back, shoulder, and head support in the same organically shaped Dicord® shell, cradled in a powder-coated aluminium frame in Lava or Flint.
