An outdoor lounge chair should look balanced, feel comfortable and suit the space around it. At Dutchwoodcraft, we make bespoke lounge chairs in recycled wood, scaffolding wood, Douglas fir and solid Douglas fir beams. Straight or angled armrests, robust timber construction, generous cushions and custom dimensions all come together in one piece of outdoor furniture designed around the way you sit.
The shape of the armrests, the timber construction and the proportions all influence the appearance and comfort of an outdoor lounge chair. The examples below are starting points; dimensions, seat height, seat depth, finish and cushions can be tailored to your project.
A strong and clean silhouette with straight lines. This design works particularly well in recycled wood, scaffolding wood and Douglas fir.
Angled armrests give the chair a lighter profile and create a softer transition between the seat, backrest and sides.
Solid Douglas fir beams create a bold architectural lounge chair with a substantial appearance and generous made-to-measure cushions.
For an even more relaxed seating position, a wooden sun lounger offers extra length and support while matching the rest of your lounge furniture.
A lounge chair is best judged in a real outdoor setting. Our lookbook shows different projects, timber types, proportions, armrests, colours and cushion combinations so you can see how bespoke Dutchwoodcraft furniture works in gardens, terraces and covered outdoor spaces.
For cushions used indoors and outdoors, the fabric is an important part of both comfort and appearance. We work with high-quality outdoor fabrics from brands including Sunbrella and Sunproof. Both offer many possibilities for lounge cushions, seat cushions, back cushions and other made-to-measure cushions, but they differ in look, collection and price level.
Would you prefer a waterproof fabric or an option that offers extra protection against moisture? Those options are available too. Not every fabric has the same properties, so we look at the intended use with you and advise which solution is most suitable.
Sunbrella is often chosen when a luxurious appearance, a very wide colour range and a premium finish are important. The extensive collections make it possible to coordinate bespoke cushions precisely with your furniture, garden, veranda or interior.
Sunproof is a strong choice when you want a colourfast outdoor fabric with an attractive price-quality ratio. The collections include many plain colours, patterns and textures and are widely suitable for made-to-measure cushions.
For a particularly luxurious result and a very extensive collection, we often recommend Sunbrella. If you are looking for a strong outdoor fabric at a more accessible price level, Sunproof offers many suitable options. This comparison is not a limitation: other fabric brands are possible too. In our showroom you can see, feel and compare different brands, qualities and textures side by side.
The comfort of a made-to-measure cushion is not determined by thickness alone. Foam type, firmness, resilience and construction together create the difference between a supportive seat, a relaxed lounge feel and softer, deeper comfort.
We work with various types of HR cold foam. Cold foam is resilient, shape-retaining and available in different firmness levels and qualities, making it suitable for both firmer seat cushions and relaxed lounge cushions.
We also work with polyether in different densities and firmness levels. Polyether can be a suitable choice for many applications, for example when a cushion may be slightly softer or have a simpler construction.
There are many more possibilities, including combinations of materials and tailored constructions for specific situations. The right choice always depends on cushion thickness, desired seat height, seat depth and how the chair will be used.
An 8 cm cushion requires a different construction from a generous 12 or 15 cm lounge cushion. A lounge chair, garden chair, dining bench or deep lounge sofa also places different demands on support.
Softer fillings are often more comfortable for back cushions. Loose back cushions can, for example, be filled with foam flakes so they feel supple and adapt more easily to the body.
Everything contributes to comfort: not only the foam itself, but also thickness, cushion dimensions, the angle of the backrest, usable seat depth and even the chosen fabric.
If you are unsure between different firmness levels or constructions, we recommend trying them in person. In our showroom in Neede you can experience different seating comforts before we make your custom cushions.
This prevents a choice being made on numbers alone. What is described on paper as medium-firm or firm can feel very different in practice depending on thickness and the complete cushion construction.
A lounge chair is not something you choose from a photograph alone. In our showroom you can compare different timber finishes, constructions, fabrics and foam types and experience the seating comfort for yourself.
We can advise on chair width, seat height, seat depth, armrest shape, timber, finish and cushions. This makes it possible to create a lounge chair that suits both your outdoor space and the way you prefer to sit.
The right lounge chair starts with the way you want to sit. We then determine the proportions, materials and comfort that best suit your terrace, veranda or garden.
We discuss the desired style, available space, intended use and how the chair should fit into the rest of your outdoor lounge area.
We determine the timber, armrests, seat height, seat depth, backrest, finish and desired cushion construction.
The lounge chair is made in our own workshop and any made-to-measure cushions are produced in our own sewing studio.
We deliver according to route planning and provide assembly when this has been agreed as part of the order.
A custom outdoor lounge chair combines individual seating comfort with a design made for your terrace, patio, veranda or covered outdoor space. At Dutchwoodcraft, dimensions, seat height, seat depth, backrest, armrests, timber and cushions can all be tailored to the project.
A wooden lounge chair can be designed in a robust, clean or contemporary style. By adjusting the proportions, an individual chair can be coordinated with a lounge sofa, corner bench or coffee table from the same outdoor collection.
One of our characteristic materials is recycled wood. It has a warm, lived-in appearance and works particularly well for outdoor furniture when you want a natural and substantial character.
In English this type of timber is also sometimes described as scaffolding wood. A scaffolding wood lounge chair can be made with straight lines, angled armrests or a more solid construction depending on the look you want.
For a warmer and more powerful timber appearance, a Douglas fir lounge chair is an excellent choice. Douglas fir has a characteristic natural colour and is particularly suitable for substantial bespoke garden furniture.
We can also build a lounge chair from solid Douglas fir beams. The heavy beams make the timber itself a defining design feature and create an architectural chair that can be softened with generous custom cushions.
A lounge chair with straight armrests has a calm, strong silhouette. The vertical lines suit recycled wood, scaffolding wood and Douglas fir and work particularly well in more robust outdoor settings.
A lounge chair with angled armrests feels visually lighter. The angled sides create a softer transition between the seat, backrest and arms and can also influence the overall seating experience.
The seat depth of an outdoor lounge chair is crucial for comfort. A deeper seat creates a more relaxed position, but the thickness and shape of the back cushions must be taken into account so enough usable depth remains.
Seat height matters just as much. A low outdoor lounge chair creates a more relaxed posture, while a slightly higher seat makes it easier to sit down and stand up. We coordinate the timber construction and cushion thickness to reach the desired final height.
Cushions can be made in our own sewing studio. A wooden lounge chair with bespoke cushions is therefore designed as one complete piece of furniture in which timber, foam, fabric and dimensions work together.
With Sunbrella cushions, an outdoor lounge chair can be finished with a premium fabric in a wide range of colours and textures. This makes it possible to coordinate the chair with the rest of your terrace or garden furniture.
Sunproof cushions are another strong option. Sunproof offers many plain colours, patterns and textures and is particularly attractive when you want a durable outdoor fabric with a favourable price-quality ratio.
For seat cushions we work with materials including HR cold foam and polyether in different densities, thicknesses and firmness levels. The right foam depends on cushion thickness, seat depth, expected use and the seating comfort you want.
An individual lounge chair also gives more freedom in dimensions. A large wooden lounge chair can have a particularly generous seat, while a more compact model can work well on a smaller terrace, balcony or covered area.
For a coherent outdoor setting, the lounge chair can be matched to a lounge sofa, corner bench, coffee table or side table. Timber type, finish and fabric can be repeated so that the entire seating area feels like one bespoke collection.
A wooden sun lounger is a natural extension of the same collection. Where a lounge chair supports relaxed sitting, a sun lounger provides greater length for reclining and works particularly well beside a terrace, garden or pool.
Sun loungers can be made in a style that matches your lounge chairs, for example in recycled wood, scaffolding wood or Douglas fir. Using the same timber finish and fabrics creates visual continuity throughout the outdoor area.
Every bespoke lounge chair is produced in our own workshop. This gives us freedom to adapt proportions, timber thickness, angles and details rather than forcing the project into a fixed standard model.
Our own sewing studio gives us the same freedom for the cushions. Exact seat and back dimensions can be used to make cushions that follow the proportions of the chair precisely.
In our showroom in Neede you can compare recycled wood, Douglas fir, different finishes, Sunbrella, Sunproof and several foam qualities. This means you can choose your outdoor lounge chair based not only on appearance, but also on actual seating comfort.
Whether you are looking for a recycled wood lounge chair, scaffolding wood lounge chair, Douglas fir lounge chair, solid beam chair, model with straight or angled armrests, or a matching sun lounger, Dutchwoodcraft designs the furniture around your space, style and preferred seating comfort.
One point of contact for both furniture and seating comfort: the lounge chair is made in our workshop and the cushions can be produced in our own sewing studio.
