At Lume Outdoor Living in Macgregor on Brisbane's southside, we are proud to be a stockist of S2dio Fine Furniture, one of the most thoughtfully crafted outdoor furniture brands we carry.
S2dio is a family business, much like ourselves. They have been creating durable designer outdoor furniture since 2002 and have grown into an internationally recognised manufacturer with offices in Australia, Indonesia, and Europe. Their attention to detail, commitment to quality materials, and consistently on-trend designs are what set them apart year after year.
If you've ever wondered what makes S2dio furniture worth the investment, here's a closer look at what goes into every piece.
What is S2dio's wicker made of?
S2dio uses HDPE synthetic wicker (High Density Polyethylene), which is widely regarded as the best quality material for synthetic outdoor wicker. It's made using virgin material and the very best UV stabilising compounds, giving it exceptional colour fastness and longevity in the Australian sun.
As wicker specialists often note, when you see HDPE being used, it's a strong indicator that the manufacturer takes quality seriously across the board, and that holds true for S2dio.
The wicker is handwoven by skilled craftspeople in S2dio's own manufacturing facility in Indonesia, where quality control and worker welfare are closely managed. Indonesia and the Philippines lead the world in high-tension, high-quality wicker weaving, and S2dio's pieces reflect that expertise.
Where does the teak come from?
Many S2dio pieces feature recycled teak, a material with a story behind it. S2dio sources old infrastructure and buildings, salvages the original teak found within, and puts it through a series of processes to make it suitable for outdoor use again. It's a genuinely sustainable approach that gives beautiful old timber a renewed life while reducing pressure on forest resources.
The result is furniture with real character, teak that has history, and craftsmanship that honours it.
How do I care for S2dio wicker and teak?
One of the great things about S2dio furniture is how easy it is to maintain. For the wicker, a soft brush or cloth to dust it down and a wash with soapy water for stubborn dirt is all you need.
For the teak, you have two options. Left to the elements, teak will naturally soften to a beautiful silver-grey patina, a look many people love for its natural, weathered character. If you'd prefer to preserve the warm honey tones of fresh teak, we stock and recommend the Golden Care range of teak maintenance products, which are designed to protect outdoor furniture with minimal impact on the environment.
