The aluminum seat version of the Ike Chair is designed for those who wish not to have any teak on their furniture. As the aluminium strips that make up the seat of the chair conduct the hot or cold temperature of its surroundings, it is best to place an outdoor cushion on its seat.
Woven from moisture repellant polytwist synthetic wicker, the Ike chair is unique amongst other rope-like chairs, which are often not moisture repellant, and therefore also not stain-repellant. To clean the Ike chair, simply hose it down with a low-pressure garden hose and place it under the sun to dry.
