Introducing the Portofino High Back Lounge Chair by Melaaura, an outdoor seat that carries the full weight of its intentions, unhurried, enveloping, and entirely sure of itself.

The high back is the defining gesture. Where most outdoor lounge chairs stop at the shoulder, the Portofino continues upward, wrapping the sitter in a form that feels genuinely sheltering. Hand-woven synthetic cord is wound over a powder-coated aluminium frame in a continuous, interlocking weave that runs unbroken from the base of the seat to the crown of the backrest, giving the entire silhouette a sculptural unity that reads as one considered object rather than a set of assembled parts.

The finish is a warm greige, matte in depth, sun-resistant in composition, and possessed of a quiet richness that neither announces itself nor retreats. The surface catches the light differently as the day moves, lending the chair a subtle life that rewards prolonged company. The braided crown edge at the top of the backrest closes the form with the same artisanal precision found throughout the Portofino Collection, a detail that speaks to the hand behind the making.

The low seat height and deep, generous proportions are deliberate. This is not a chair that holds you upright. It draws you in, encourages a certain quality of stillness, and makes a credible case that the terrace, the poolside, and the garden loggia deserve the same standard of seating comfort as any well-appointed interior room.

Paired with a tailored cushion in one of Melaaura’s complementary outdoor fabrics, the Portofino High Back Lounge Chair becomes something more still,a complete sensory proposition, where woven texture, soft upholstery, and the warmth of an open-air setting converge into a single, coherent experience.

It coordinates naturally with the full Portofino Collection. It belongs wherever outdoor living is taken seriously.

Available in Sage Green Weave, Black Weave, Natural Honey Teak, Ivory Weave, Dark Brown Weave, and Taupe Weave.
