The Gandia Blasco Arco Dining Armchair is an outdoor dining armchair in powder-coated aluminium with a micro-perforated sheet back shell and upholstered cushions from the Arco collection, designed by José A. Gandía-Blasco Canales.

The frame is made of powder-coated aluminium profiles, the back shell of powder-coated micro-perforated sheet. The perforation recalls the traditional latticework of Mediterranean architecture, lightens the closed form and casts a fine pattern of shadows in the sun. Seat and back are padded with reusable polyurethane foam and polyester fibre wrapped in water-repellent fabric, under a removable technical cover for outdoor use. According to the manufacturer, the cushions meet the CAL 117 fire standard. Powder-coated aluminium does not rust. What the materials offer outdoors is explained in our materials overview.

As a dining armchair it has a seat height of 47 cm for garden and terrace dining tables; the armrests at 68 cm give support during long meals. It suits terraces, pool areas and roof gardens as well as hotel terraces and restaurants. The frame comes in 15 powder-coated finishes, the cushions in the fabric groups Soft or Nautica, Warm or Warm recycled and Warm Premium; indoor fabrics on request.

Arco was presented in 2026. In it, José A. Gandía-Blasco Canales takes up the arch, a basic form of Roman architecture, and translates it into outdoor furniture with rounded backs and soft transitions. The series includes lounge and club armchairs, a dining armchair, a 2-seater and a 3-seater sofa and coffee tables with porcelain tops.
