Toscana – Ornament and Permanence
The Toscana collection by Unopiù is described by the manufacturer as having timeless geometry, tangible solidity and excellent practicality. Its defining features are the iron frame with its clean lines and the stainless steel mesh on the seat and backrest. In graphite grey, the collection's only finish, Toscana takes on a quiet elegance that blends into many garden settings.
Toscana is a collection that stands the test of time. Its materials age well, its forms are free from trends, and its quality reveals itself not at first glance, but on second.
Design and Form Language
The Toscana furniture features slender iron profiles. The backrests and seats are fitted with stainless steel mesh: delicate, arched lines that form geometric motifs. The manufacturer describes the design language as one of austere, compact geometric forms. The folding chair variants combine this classic aesthetic with practical ease of use – ideal for gardens where flexible seating is required.
The graphite grey colour scheme runs like a common thread through all the elements: a dark shade that contrasts with the greenery in summer and with warm earth tones in autumn.
Material: Iron and Powder Coating
The Toscana furniture is made of galvanised iron: the iron is first galvanised and then powder-coated, with the graphite grey colour coming from this coating. According to the manufacturer, this makes the furniture reliably protected against the elements. The mesh on the seat and backrest is made of stainless steel. The weight gives the armchairs and sofa stability; the armchair weighs 12.5 kg (shipping weight).
For the Toscana chairs, the manufacturer offers a seat cushion in Latte as a separate item – please ask us about it. You can find more about outdoor materials in our material guide.
The Furniture in the Toscana Series
In the dining area, two chair styles are available: the foldable Toscana armchair and the Toscana folding chair – both made of galvanised iron with stainless steel mesh. The Toscana 140 cm square dining table serves as a matching table.
For the lounge area, the collection offers the Toscana armchair and the Toscana 161 cm sofa – both in graphite grey, both with cushions in Latte or Sabbia available as separate items.
You can find the complete collection on the Toscana collection page.
Use in the Garden
Toscana finds its natural place in gardens with a classic character: natural stone terraces, formal gardens, and Mediterranean-style planting. The graphite grey palette also works well in contemporary green spaces – as a quiet counterpoint to light facades or modern paving. The folding variants allow flexible use at events or with changing table arrangements. Combining it with an Unopiù pergola completes the classic garden setting.

Toscana is one of the galvanised iron garden furniture collections in the Unopiù range, alongside the Aurora collection. Those looking for contemporary design languages will find Luce or Agorà to be just what they need. All the collections are available on our brand page.
