About the collection

180 Collection

Starting with a simple chair, 180's no-nonsense lines are a functional favorite. The design cues emulate traditional wooden furniture, but a resilient combination of powder-coated aluminum frames and weatherproof sling seats keeps practicality at the forefront across this collection of stacking outdoor furniture. Chairs stack for easy storage and high-turnover terraces, with a teak-arm option for a warmer finish.

About the 180 collection by Gloster

180 sits within Gloster's permanent outdoor catalog as the brand's stacking, sling-seat range, designed by Henrik Pedersen. Where most of the Gloster line is built around FSC teak, 180 is the aluminum-and-sling alternative: a powder-coated aluminum frame carries a tensioned, weatherproof sling seat, so the chairs are light, weather-ready, and stack for storage. Gloster has built outdoor furniture since 1960 and runs its program from Henley-on-Thames, United Kingdom.

Material and construction notes

180 is built from a powder-coated aluminum frame (standard finish: Meteor, a dark anthracite) and a tensioned outdoor sling in Granite. The teak-arm dining chair adds natural FSC teak armrests for a warmer touch; the aluminum-arm chair and the lounger keep the all-metal-and-sling construction. For US trade specifiers, 180 carries the same material data sheets and US-trade documentation as the rest of the Gloster catalog: ASTM F1858 outdoor furniture compliance where applicable and chain-of-shipment documentation supplied with the invoice. Frame finish and sling color substitutions are accepted at quote stage.

Specifying 180 in US trade projects

Pricing for 180 at US trade typically falls between $400 and $1,900 per piece — the stacking dining chair at the lower end, the stacking lounger higher — before finish premium and consolidated freight. Lead time is 6-10 weeks from European port to US port for standard configurations; bespoke finishes or large hospitality volumes extend by 4-8 weeks. Because the chairs stack, 180 is specified for high-turnover US hospitality outdoor (hotel pool decks, restaurant terraces, event lawns) and for premium residential outdoor (terrace, balcony, poolside) where storage matters.

Frequently asked specifier questions

What is the Gloster 180 collection made of?

180 uses a powder-coated aluminum frame with a tensioned, weatherproof sling seat — no cushions required. The standard frame finish is Meteor (anthracite); the sling is Granite. One dining chair adds natural FSC teak armrests. All three pieces are engineered for year-round outdoor use.

What pieces are in the Gloster 180 collection?

180 is a stacking range of three pieces: a stacking dining chair with aluminum arms, a stacking dining chair with teak arms, and a stacking lounger. The chairs stack for off-season storage and high-turnover terraces.

Is the Gloster 180 collection covered by trade pricing?

Yes. Gloster runs a verified US trade programme. Net trade pricing for 180 is shared after qualification (designer of record, project scope) under the Gloster trade terms applicable to premium European outdoor specifiers. Frame finish and sling color options are confirmed at quote stage.

Care, warranty, and US service life

The powder-coated aluminum frame resists corrosion and needs only an occasional rinse with mild soap and water; it carries Gloster's structural warranty. The sling seat sheds water and dries fast — hose it down and let it air-dry, and store off-season in freeze-thaw climates to extend service life. The optional natural teak arms weather to a silver-grey patina outdoors, or keep their honey tone with teak protector applied once or twice a season. With basic care, 180 is built for many seasons of US outdoor use.
