Arras Outdoor Furniture: Heritage‑Style Elegance for Your Garden

When it comes to outdoor dining furniture that combines timeless aesthetic, durable construction and living‑garden charm, few collections capture that blend quite like the Arras range at Urban Grow. Drawing inspiration from 19th‑century French garden furniture crafted in the town of Arras, this range brings a quintessentially classic country house look to modern patios, terraces and gardens across the UK and beyond.

The Arras collection stands out not just for its beauty, but for the quality of materials and craftsmanship that go into every piece, from dining tables and chairs to full four‑person sets. Made with galvanised steel finished in molten zinc, the furniture resists weather, develops a charming patina over time and delivers decades of outdoor enjoyment.


🪑 A Heritage Story in Every Curve

The Arras range is based on a tradition of garden furniture originally crafted in the north of France, known for its elegant curves and functional strength. One of the most distinctive features is the signature ‘hoof’ feet, which not only offer stability and balance but also echo the curved profiles seen in historic Arras ironwork.

This classic design element gives the furniture a sculptural feel, it’s not only practical dining furniture but also a visual anchor in your outdoor space. Whether set beneath a parasol or placed centre‑stage on a patio, Arras dining pieces bring a refined sense of heritage style to contemporary gardens.


🍽️ Galvanised in Zinc: Durability Meets Elegance

A major advantage of the Arras range is its galvanised zinc finish, a heavy‑gauge steel construction method that makes these pieces exceptionally resilient to the British climate. The molten zinc galvanisation process creates a protective layer that guards against rust and corrosion, ensuring your outdoor furniture can be left outside year‑round without fear of damage.

Unlike many metal furniture sets that require covers or special care, this galvanised finish naturally ages into a soft patina, giving each piece more character as time passes. This patina looks particularly striking against brick, stone and lush planting, making Arras furniture perfect for classic country gardens or formal outdoor dining spaces.


🍷 Outdoor Dining Pieces to Suit Every Garden

Arras Dining Table

The classic centrepiece of the collection, the Arras Dining Table is 1m in diameter and offers generous space for meals with family and friends. Galvanised in molten zinc and finished with a distinctive patina, it’s designed to stand the test of time while enhancing outdoor dining areas with heritage charm.

Pair this table with matching seating to create a cohesive and refined outdoor dining setup that invites long lunches and al fresco dinners.


Arras Dining Chair & Carver Dining Chair

The Arras Dining Chair brings the same classic curves and hoof‑foot profile to your seating, offering both style and sturdy support. Galvanised steel and curved profiles ensure comfort alongside lasting durability.

For something with a bit more presence, the Arras Carver Dining Chair adds scrolled arms and a slightly grander silhouette — ideal for anchoring the head of the table and elevating your garden dining experience.


Arras Four Person Dining Set

If you’re looking for an all‑in‑one solution, the Arras Four Person Dining Set combines the signature table with four matching chairs — a beautiful blend of unity and timeless design. Perfect for family entertaining, weekend brunches, or dinner parties under the sky, this set is an investment in long‑lasting style and functionality.


Arras Bistro Dining Set

For more intimate settings or smaller outdoor spaces, the Arras Bistro Dining Set pairs a compact table with chairs that still carry the classic profile and durable zinc finish. This is a lovely choice for morning coffee corners or cosy garden breakfasts.
