Outdoor Furniture

Bend Goods makes wire, tube, aluminum, and stainless steel furniture for outdoor spaces that need real durability — restaurant patios, hotel terraces, coastal homes, mountain retreats. Every piece is powder coated, structurally tested, and designed to stay outside year after year.

What is wire furniture?

Wire furniture is made from thin rods of steel or stainless steel welded together into a seat, back, or frame. The construction looks delicate — and that's intentional. The open, airy silhouette is what makes wire furniture visually distinctive. But don't mistake thin for weak.

The welded wire grid is structurally rigid in a way solid panels aren't. Each connection point distributes load across the entire frame rather than concentrating stress at a single joint. Bend wire furniture is BIFMA tested — a commercial-grade certification that covers repeated loading, impact, and long-term fatigue.

The closeness of the wire grid also creates a surprisingly comfortable seat surface. The slight flex in the wire absorbs pressure rather than pushing back hard. Add a Bend cushion pad for longer seating environments.

Wire is available in powder-coated steel for standard outdoor environments, or stainless steel for harsh climates — coastal, high-humidity, or heavy snow.

What is tube furniture?

Tube furniture uses a heavier-gauge hollow metal tube — the same profile you'd find in structural metalwork. Where wire furniture reads light and graphic, tube furniture reads solid, architectural, and substantial. The thicker wall gives designers more to work with: longer cantilever spans, tighter bends, more dramatic curves.

Bend's outdoor tube collection uses that structural flexibility for bold proportions and playful geometric forms, powder-coated in vivid colors. Tube is the construction that makes that kind of personality possible in metal.

Choosing the right metal for your environment

Powder-coated steel: The core of the Bend line. Excellent for most outdoor environments — temperate climates, covered patios, indoor-outdoor spaces. Available in the widest range of colors and finishes.

Stainless steel: For coastal environments with salt air, high-humidity regions, or locations with heavy snow. Stainless steel doesn't require a coating to resist corrosion. The right choice when you want furniture that truly lives outside with zero maintenance.

Aluminum: Naturally rust-proof without any coating. Significantly lighter than steel. Strong choice for exposed outdoor environments, rooftops, and anywhere weight matters.

What metal makes possible — shapes, curves, color

Metal opens up forms that wood and resin simply can't achieve. Wire and tube can be bent, welded, and formed into geometries that feel almost architectural — the seat bowl of a wire lounge chair, the cantilever of a tube dining chair, the flowing back of a wire stool.

Powder coating is a design tool, not just a protective finish. Any RAL color is achievable — matte, satin, gloss, or textured. The same chair frame can be understated matte black for a hotel terrace or electric yellow for a restaurant patio. That range isn't available in wood or wicker.

Commercial vs. residential outdoor furniture

A restaurant chair gets sat in hundreds of times a day. A residential chair, maybe once. Commercial-grade furniture is designed for that load — heavier wire gauge, deeper powder coat, hardware rated for repeated use.

Bend Goods is built to commercial standards across the line. BIFMA certified. What that means for residential customers: significantly more durability than typical retail outdoor furniture. It's why the same Bend chairs appear on Four Seasons terraces and in private backyards.
