Fiberglass possesses both durability and sustainability as a material, while also exhibiting versatility and providing a pleasant tactile experience. It is lightweight, low-maintenance, UV-resistant, and nonporous. Its strength surpasses even that of steel, while retaining shape, color, and resistance to impact and scratches. These qualities make it an ideal material for furniture, as it can also be used outdoors*.

Fiberglass develops a comfortable patina over time, exhibiting enhanced depth and complexity compared to other plastics that become hazy and dull.

*Due to this material often finding itself paired with other porous, or rust prone materials within the same furniture piece, it is not advisable to expose it to the elements, unless fully enclosed in fiberglass.
