Cosette – Dining with Character
The Cosette collection by Unopiù combines flexibility and substance. The deckchair and armchair are foldable – making them quick to store – yet they are made of solid teak wood. The dining table offers space for large gatherings with an extendable length of 230 to 299 cm.
Cosette is an answer for those who want to regularly set their garden table for six to twelve people without sacrificing the aesthetic quality that teak provides.
Design and Formal Language
Cosette focuses on clean lines and functional elegance. The folding mechanisms of the chairs are discreetly integrated. The table construction allows for extension without conversion – precise, quiet, and effortless. Cosette is design that fits into everyday life.
Materials: Teak and Technical Fabric
Teak wood is considered the reference material for high-quality outdoor furniture. Its natural oil content makes it naturally water-repellent and resistant to weathering. The upholstery is available in technical fabric (natural white, brown) or polypropylene (dove gray), all variants designed for continuous outdoor use. Learn more about teak and other outdoor materials in our material guide.
The Furniture of the Cosette Series
The collection offers the Cosette teak deckchair, foldable, and the Cosette teak armchair, foldable – both adjustable in 3 positions. The Cosette dining table, extendable from 230/299 cm, serves as the table solution. The complete collection is available on the Cosette collection page.
Use in the Garden and on the Terrace
Cosette is particularly impressive for large outdoor dining situations: summer evenings with family and friends, garden parties, extended lunches on the terrace. The folding feature significantly simplifies storage during the off-season.
Cosette in the Context of the Unopiù Brand
Cosette completes Unopiù's dining offerings in the upper segment. While the Toscana collection scores with cast iron, Cosette relies on the combination of teak elegance and everyday usability. All collections can be found on the Unopiù brand page.

Care Instructions – Cosette Furniture
- Clean Teak: Wipe the teak wood with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Remove stubborn dirt with a soft brush.
- Apply Teak Oil: For a warm teak color, apply teak oil once a year. Without oil, a silver-gray patina develops – also valuable.
- Clean Upholstery: Wipe the technical fabric with water and mild detergent or lightly wash it out.
- Check Folding Mechanism: Check the folding mechanism during seasonal preparation and lightly oil if necessary.
- Storage: In winter, store the folded chair in a dry place or cover it with a protective cover.
- Care for Dining Table: Treat the teak tabletop as described above; wipe aluminum parts with a damp cloth.
Frequently Asked Questions about the Cosette Collection
How easily does the Cosette deckchair fold?
The Cosette deckchair can be folded with a single movement. The folding mechanism is precise and can be operated with one hand.
How many people can fit at the extendable Cosette dining table?
In its normal state (230 cm), the table offers space for 8–10 people. Extended to 299 cm, there is room for up to 12 people.
Can teak turn gray?
Yes, without regular oiling, teak will develop a silver-gray color over time – a natural aging process that does not affect the wood quality. With teak oil, the warm brown color is maintained.
Can the Cosette chairs be used without the dining table?
Certainly. The foldable teak chairs can be combined with any suitable outdoor table.
