Outdoor products will be exposed to a lot more things than indoor products, such as sun and rain, dust and dirt. That is why we at IKEA carefully select suitable materials and finishes for our outdoor products and put them through tough tests, so you can be sure they are durable for outdoor use.

"With HÖGSTEN outdoor sofa, I was inspired by the high, hugging back of a wing chair and low beach chairs. Lots of sketches and days in the workshop led to a design that satisfied me. Relaxing in the sun - that's what I hope people will think of when they see this inviting furniture."

Plastic rattan combined with powder-coated steel is durable, weather-resistant and easy to care for since it is maintenance-free. To keep the fresh look after many hours in the sun the plastic is both UV stabilised and fade resistant.
