Ico Traders’ stainless-steel furniture range offers sleek, modern designs engineered for the Australasian climate, combining durability with rust resistance for sublime coastal living.

Ico Traders, a celebrated New Zealand-based brand, has long been recognised for its innovative metal furniture. Now, its elevated stainless-steel outdoor living collection is available in Australia, exclusively through Forj Living. The range seamlessly blends contemporary design with the strength and durability required to withstand the diverse and often harsh weather conditions of Australasia.

Whether placed on a coastal deck or in a contemporary interior, Ico Traders’ furniture delivers long-lasting performance without compromising on aesthetics.

At the heart of Ico Traders’ range is a commitment to crafting furniture that stands the test of time. Its stainless-steel pieces provide superior rust resistance and durability, making them the perfect choice for homes in regions exposed to sea spray, ocean winds, humidity and heavy rainfall. This collection not only solves the common issue of deteriorating outdoor furniture but also offers a sleek and functional design suited for both indoor and outdoor settings. Whether placed on a coastal deck or in a contemporary interior, Ico Traders’ furniture delivers long-lasting performance without compromising on aesthetics.

Among the standout pieces in the collection is the Hokianga hanging chair, evoking nostalgia with its design inspired by the classic cane chairs of the 1960s. Perfect for relaxing – whether reading, napping, or gently swaying in the breeze – it offers both comfort and style. Available in three colourways, you can also boost both colour and texture levels with a Hokianga chair pad, made from Mokum’s Elba outdoor fabric range, or the marshmallow-like Big Puffy cushion.
