Introducing the Portofino Lounge Chair by Melaaura, an outdoor seat that occupies its space with the kind of easy authority that only genuine design confidence can produce.

Where the high back lounge chair shelters, the Portofino Lounge Chair opens. The lower, more horizontal profile invites a different quality of rest, limbs extended, posture released, attention given over entirely to the sky above or the company around you. It is a chair that knows what it is for and does not pretend otherwise.

Hand-woven synthetic cord is wound over a powder-coated aluminium frame in the same dense, interlocking pattern that defines the entire Portofino Collection. The weave runs continuously across the seat and backrest, giving the form a surface unity that reads as one complete object, textured, warm, and alive to the shifting quality of outdoor light throughout the day. In the morning shade it holds a quiet depth; in afternoon sun it glows with a warmth that no flat-painted surface could replicate.

The finish is the collection’s signature warm greige,matte, sun-resistant, and sophisticated without effort. The braided crown edge that closes the top of the backrest introduces a moment of artisanal precision, a detail that holds its own against the broader generosity of the form. Four slender legs keep the frame light and the silhouette open from every angle.

The Portofino Lounge Chair is designed for the kind of afternoon that begins with one intention and ends with another entirely. Paired with a tailored cushion from Melaaura’s range of outdoor fabrics, it becomes a genuinely complete seating proposition,woven structure, soft upholstery, and open air working together without hierarchy.

Deployed singly as a considered accent piece, arranged in pairs beside a low table, or composed within the broader Portofino Collection, it adapts to its setting without losing itself in it.

It is not simply a lounge chair for outside. It is an invitation to spend more time there.

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

Custom sizing is available on request through Melaaura.
