The material
Compton’s made with a woven resin fibre we call ‘all-weather wicker’ – it’s got very much the same look as natural rattan, but it’s happy being left outside and will make your life much easier (as well as having a longer lifespan).
The seat cushions
All our garden furniture cushions are made from natural-coloured, weather-resistant fabric, so you needn’t bring them inside if there’s a quick summer shower. They’re not completely weatherproof, though, so don’t leave them out all year long or in pouring rain. They’re filled with foam, which is soft but keeps its shape well, and the covers are removable, so they’re easy to clean.
How it feels
Compton’s one of our smaller designs, with quite a high seat, but it’s wide enough to be roomy. Although the frame’s firm and the cushions are supportive, you’ll still gently sink into it.
Design details
At the bottom of each leg, a section’s left bare to protect the weave from moisture, dirt and scuffs, and capped with plastic to make the seat easier to move.
Where we see it
There are five separate Compton sections so you can combine them together in any way you like, whether that’s a corner or straight sofa, to seat lots of people or just a few. Each piece connects underneath, so they won’t shuffle around once in place.
