Why Choose the Alexander Rose Portofino Range?

Designed with both appearance and practicality in mind, the Portofino collection remains a popular choice for contemporary outdoor spaces.

• Contemporary European design: Clean lines and fine mesh detailing create a minimalist yet sophisticated look.
• Durable steel frame: Crafted from high-quality mild steel with a robust powder-coated finish to resist rust and wear.

From compact bistro sets and stackable chairs to larger dining tables and loungers, the Portofino range covers a wide variety of outdoor living needs with understated elegance.

How to Care for Your Portofino Furniture

While the Portofino range is built to withstand outdoor conditions, a little routine care will keep it looking smart and performing well for many years.

1. Regular Cleaning

• Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt and dust.
• Wash with warm water and mild detergent, then rinse thoroughly.
• Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals that could damage the powder coating.

2. Protect from Prolonged Wet Conditions

Although Portofino furniture is weather-resistant, avoiding constant damp exposure helps preserve the finish.

• Use breathable outdoor furniture covers during winter or prolonged wet spells — browse options in our covers collection.
• Where possible, store furniture in a dry shed or garage during the off-season.

3. Preventing Rust

Rust is rare thanks to the powder-coated finish, but small preventative steps help ensure long-term protection.

• Touch up any chips or scratches promptly using suitable outdoor metal paint.
• Avoid dragging furniture across rough surfaces to prevent damage to the coating.

4. Cushions (If Included)

Some Portofino sets include optional cushions for added comfort.

• Always store cushions indoors when not in use.
• Spot-clean with mild detergent; avoid machine washing unless specified.
