Orso Sling Armchair
The Orso dining armchair built with a tensioned sling instead of a woven bucket. It is five pounds lighter than the woven version and two inches taller in the back, and it dries in minutes after rain because there is nothing for water to sit in.
- 8 pounds. Light enough to carry two at a time, which is the practical argument for a sling chair around a table that gets rearranged often.
- Dries on its own. Rain passes through the sling rather than soaking into foam or collecting in a woven seat. Wipe it and sit down.
- A 33.5 inch back. Two inches taller than the woven Orso armchair, which puts more support behind the shoulders over a long meal.
- Stacks, and arrives assembled. Same stacking frame family as the rest of Orso, with nothing to build.
Details and specifications
Product Details
The sling version of the Orso dining armchair. The seat and back are a single tensioned panel of outdoor sling fabric carried on a powder coated aluminum frame, which is why the chair weighs 8 pounds and dries within minutes of a shower.
Manufacturer item code ORCH-S.S001, page 39 of the Oxford Garden 2026 price list. The price list gives the sling chairs their own item codes, so this is its own piece rather than a fabric option on the woven armchair.

Materials and Construction
Frame. Marine grade aluminum, powder coated. Aluminum does not rust, so the frame does not depend on a coating staying perfect to survive, and it stays light enough that one person can move the piece without help. The powder coat is baked on rather than sprayed, which is why it holds at the joints where outdoor furniture usually fails first.
Sling. One tensioned panel of outdoor sling fabric carries the seat and the back. There is no cushion to carry in and out, and rain passes straight through the weave instead of sitting in foam.
Feet. Leg end caps are fitted at the factory so the frame does not mark decking, tile or stone when it is slid rather than lifted.

Sling Fabric
The 2026 price list fixes the sling on this chair at code S.S001, the panel Oxford Garden photographs the chair in and lists as Fog. There is no sling color to choose and no price difference to weigh up.

Care and Maintenance
Sling. Hose it down and let it dry. Sling fabric drains and dries on its own and does not need to come inside. For a stubborn mark, mild soap and a soft brush.
Powder coated aluminum. Wash with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive pads and solvent cleaners, which dull the finish. Touch up a deep scratch promptly so salt and grit have nothing to work at.
Off season. The powder coated aluminum frame can stay outside all year.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from the woven Orso armchair?
Same collection and the same 23 inch width and 17.5 inch seat, but the seat and back are a tensioned sling panel rather than hand woven wicker. It weighs 8 pounds against 13, stands two inches taller and is a separate item, not a fabric option.
Can I mix sling and woven Orso chairs at one table?
Yes, and people do. Both sit at 17.5 inches and both are 23 inches across the arms, so they line up properly. The back heights differ by two inches, which reads as intentional rather than mismatched.
What sling fabric does it come in?
The price list fixes this chair's sling at code S.S001, the panel Oxford Garden photographs it in and lists as Fog. There is no sling choice to make on this item, and no price difference attached to one.
Does the sling sag over time?
Outdoor sling is woven to be tensioned and it settles slightly in the first weeks, then holds. What actually kills a sling is grit ground into the weave, so rinsing it occasionally does more good than anything else.
Do I need to assemble it?
No. It arrives fully assembled with the sling already tensioned in the frame. Take it out of the carton, pull off the packaging and set it down.
Can it stay outside all year?
Yes. The aluminum does not rust and the sling drains and dries by itself, so there is no cushion to bring in. It is the lowest maintenance seat in the Orso collection for that reason.
How is it delivered?
By LTL freight to the curb with lift gate service. The carton is 30 by 24 by 42 inches, past the size a parcel carrier will take, so the carrier arranges a delivery window with you.
What else is in the Orso collection?
A woven armchair, side chair, bar chair and club chair, plus sling versions of the armchair, side chair and bar chair. The sling chairs share the frame family but the price list gives them their own item codes, so they are bought as their own piece rather than as a fabric choice on a woven one.
