In 2015, Sika Design introduced the collection, Exterior, which is based on a new exciting material that offers possibilities and expressions for their existing models. The new material “alu-rattan” consists of a strong aluminum frame woven with ArtFibre. The material is maintenance free and can withstand all weather conditions. This means that original rattan models previously only suitable for indoor use now can be used in the garden, on the terrace or the balcony.

ArtFibre is a fiber made of dyed and hard-wearing polyethylene. It is ideal for outdoor use in any climate as it is temperature and UV-resistant. The ArtFibre is flexible and, when woven, provides optimal comfort and a structure that is strong and can maintain its shape for years on end.
