Kiki Beige 3-Seater Outdoor Chaise Sofa The Kiki 3-seater chaise sofa seats three adults comfortably on a curved, low-profile frame that mirrors indoor silhouettes for outdoor use. Built with a powder-coated aluminium frame in sand/beige and thick olefin-upholstered cushions, it is engineered for year-round patio exposure without specialist maintenance. Key Specifications Frame: Powder-coated aluminium — rust-proof, lightweight, and UV-stable Cushion fabric: Olefin (polypropylene-based) — solution-dyed for fade resistance; repels moisture and mildew Cushion profile: Thick, high-density fill for extended seating comfort Colour: Beige / sand — consistent frame-to-cushion palette Seating capacity: 3 adults Form factor: Chaise / extended-seat sofa with curved organic silhouette Material Performance Olefin fabric is solution-dyed during fibre production, meaning colour pigments are locked into the fibre rather than applied on the surface. This process provides significantly higher UV and chlorine resistance than piece-dyed alternatives, making it a practical choice for furniture left outdoors year-round. The aluminium frame avoids the corrosion risk associated with steel frames in humid or coastal environments, while remaining lighter and easier to reposition on a deck or patio. Tradeoff to note: Aluminium frames are lighter than powder-coated steel, which improves portability but may require securing in high-wind locations. Use-Case Fit Year-round outdoor use: Olefin cushions and aluminium frame tolerate rain, sun, and temperature fluctuation without protective storage requirements. Stylish patio setups: Curved silhouette and sand colour palette create a cohesive, indoor-inspired aesthetic suitable for landscaped gardens and tiled terraces. Relaxed lounge seating: Extended chaise design supports full-length lounging as well as upright seating for three. Frequently Asked Questions Are olefin cushions suitable for furniture left outside year-round? Yes. Olefin is solution-dyed and inherently hydrophobic, making it resistant to fading, moisture absorption, and mildew growth — all common failure points for outdoor cushion fabrics. It performs comparably to acrylic-based outdoor fabrics at a lower price point. How does an aluminium frame compare to steel for outdoor furniture? Aluminium does not rust, making it preferable for humid, coastal, or high-rainfall environments. It is also approximately 30–40% lighter than equivalent steel frames, making repositioning easier. Steel frames offer greater rigidity at lower cost but require galvanising or powder-coating to resist corrosion long-term. What maintenance does the Kiki sofa require? Wipe the aluminium frame with a damp cloth and mild detergent as needed. Clean olefin cushion covers with a solution of mild soap and lukewarm water; rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry. Cushion covers can be removed for periodic cleaning. Does this sofa pair with other pieces to form a full garden set? The Kiki range is designed as a cohesive outdoor collection. The sand/beige colour palette and curved aluminium frame are consistent across matching MINT Outdoor pieces, allowing modular configuration.
