Outdoor Luxury That Moves With You
There’s something unmistakably serene about sinking into a chair that practically hugs you, with the breeze rustling nearby trees and your morning coffee within arm’s reach.
There’s something unmistakably serene about sinking into a chair that practically hugs you, with the breeze rustling nearby trees and your morning coffee within arm’s reach. In today's fast-paced world, creating a private retreat—be it a balcony, terrace or garden nook—has become less of a luxury and more of a necessity. If you’ve been dreaming of transforming your outdoor space into a sanctuary of comfort and style, Westelm has a solution you won’t want to miss.
Westelm, known for its elevated taste in contemporary interiors, brings that same level of craftsmanship outdoors with the Porto Collection—a refined lineup of furniture that makes lounging an art form. Crafted from kiln-dried mahogany and wrapped in woven nylon cording, the Porto pieces blur the line between high design and long-lasting utility. Whether you’re soaking in sunshine solo or entertaining guests, these pieces rise to the occasion.
Let’s take a closer look at three standout items from the collection and see why they’re becoming staples in stylish outdoor living.
1. Porto Outdoor Swivel Chair: Where Elegance Meets Engineering
If there’s one chair that deserves its fan club, it’s the Porto Outdoor Swivel Chair. With its wide, deep seat and cocoon-like frame, this chair doesn’t just invite you to sit—it insists.
The first thing you notice is its rounded silhouette, expertly wrapped in woven nylon cording. This design doesn’t just offer a visual break from rigid lines—it adds a tactile softness that elevates the whole look. The high-resiliency polyurethane foam seat cushion and fibre-filled back ensure that comfort isn’t just promised, it’s delivered. And with two included bolster cushions, there’s support exactly where you need it, whether you’re reading, sipping a drink, or simply enjoying a moment of quiet.
The real showstopper, though, is the 360-degree swivel base, allowing you to rotate easily without leaving the seat. Perfect for lively outdoor gatherings where the sun, conversation, or view is always shifting. Built to contract grade specifications, the chair is designed to handle the wear and tear of both residential and commercial use, making it ideal for outdoor lounge areas where quality can’t be compromised.
In terms of finish, choose from Driftwood with Warm Cement cording or Reef with Bone cording—both effortlessly neutral, yet far from plain. These natural hues pair seamlessly with modern outdoor furniture styles, adding warmth without sacrificing modern appeal.
2. Porto Outdoor Round Coffee Table: The Anchor of Outdoor Conversations
No outdoor setting feels complete without a central piece to bring everything together. The Porto Outdoor Round Coffee Table delivers just that—a beautifully balanced piece that’s as functional as it is elegant.
Crafted from the same kiln-dried mahogany wood and nylon cord as the chair, the table ensures cohesion when paired with other pieces from the Porto line. But it stands tall in its own right with a smooth, finely finished top that provides ample space for your morning latte, a stack of magazines, or an aperitif for two. The design’s rounded edges and robust base give it a visual weight that feels grounded yet graceful, precisely what you want in a centrepiece.
Like the Swivel Chair, the table is contract grade, which means it's engineered for longevity. Whether you're entertaining guests or simply need a spot for your citronella candle and books, this table makes a worthy companion.
The beauty of the Porto Coffee Table is that it complements other mid-century modern furniture effortlessly. Think clean lines, warm wood, and a design language that speaks softly but carries a strong aesthetic message.
3. Porto Outdoor Chaise Lounge: Reclining Comfort, Redefined
For those who treat sunbathing as a lifestyle, the Porto Outdoor Chaise Lounge is your new best friend. With five adjustable reclining positions, this chaise invites you to find your ideal lounging angle—whether you’re sun-kissed and stretched out or curled up with a page-turner.
Again, Westelm keeps design continuity by using kiln-dried mahogany and that distinctive nylon cording. But it’s the attention to comfort that truly shines here. The cushion, upholstered in weather-resistant olefin fabric, features high-resiliency polyurethane foam cores for enduring support and plushness. The colours—Frost Grey and Alabaster—are muted, timeless, and unintrusive, allowing you to accessorise with colourful throws or seasonal accent pillows.
And yes, this too is a contract-grade piece. So if you’re looking to outfit a poolside retreat or rooftop deck, you’ll rest easy knowing that your chaise is built to endure. The structure resists warping, cracking, and fading, even through unpredictable British summers.
This piece works beautifully alongside a modern dining table or modern sofa in adjoining spaces, tying your outdoor areas into one cohesive, luxurious setting.
