Modern Dutch Outdoor Furniture: One To Sit

One to Sit is a fun, friendly and fabulous modern minimalist collection of outdoor furniture designed by Marc Verhoeven and Chris-Jan van Zutphen. Made of pure handmade Dutch workmanship with easy to maintain compounds with teak elements.



The collection consists of a chair, a pouf, a sofa, a low table, a dining table, a lounger, and garden bed (chaise). Available in various colors or with a 'rust' finish. They can also be upholstered.


Made of a lightweight but very strong material, it's easy to clean and maintain. they suggest you simply use car wax twice a year to keep the pieces free of debris!

Take a look at some pieces from the collection:










Arms are available in teak or metal:



Upholstered cushions are available for the pieces:




Or the pieces themselves can be upholstered in Sunbrella fabrics:


With the Rust finish:


Above: To give One To Sit furniture the 'rusty' look, a special procedure that applies a layer of iron is put on the furniture. Then oxidation takes place. To assure that your clothes don't get stained or that the rust doesn't fleck off, a matte coat finish is then applied.
