Introducing Muuto’s Linear Steel Outdoor Collection

The Linear Steel Series, Muuto’s first-ever foray into outdoor furniture, was conceived by designer Thomas Bentzen and has become a hallmark of design that seamlessly blends form and function.

Design Philosophy & Aesthetic

• Minimalist yet inviting: Defined by straight lines, folded edges, and half-circular intersecting legs, this collection presents a clean, modern touch for outdoor spaces.
• Crafted for nature: Small gaps in the design allow rainwater to drain, ensuring practical usability and visual continuity.
• Inspired by the essence of gatherings, Bentzen sought to translate social connection into design—with lines, shapes, and materials “meeting” each other in a graceful expression.

Material & Durability

Constructed from galvanized steel with a deep matte, UV-resistant powder-coated finish, these pieces are designed to withstand the elements while retaining a soft, elegant touch. Key components include hot-dip galvanized tabletops and aluzinc-treated legs, accompanied by protective plastic glides.

Components & Versatility

The collection includes a wide range of outdoor essentials—tables (various sizes), benches, side chairs, armchairs, café tables, bar and counter stools, and more.

Colors & Visual Appeal

Available in a palette of Black, Off-White, Dark Green, Burnt Orange, Pale Blue, the range adds striking but serene splashes of colour to outdoor settings.

There’s something gently powerful about furniture that doesn’t try too hard to stand out. Muuto’s Linear Steel Outdoor Collection, designed by Thomas Bentzen, embodies this ethos with its deceptively simple aesthetic. Born as the brand’s inaugural outdoor range, the series reinterprets traditional Scandinavian garden designs—particularly Nordic oak gatherings—into steel forms that feel modern, timeless, and utterly natural.

Every line in the collection whispers elegance. Folded edges, half-circular intersecting legs, and subtly spaced panels not only create visual harmony but also ensure rainwater flows through, keeping surfaces fresh and clean. Whether perched on a sunny deck or nestled under an awning, the collection looks right at home—practical, inviting, and invitingly down-to-earth.

Despite its refined look, the Linear Steel collection is built with durability in mind. Galvanised steel, UV-resistant powder coatings, and aluzinc-treated components mean it resists weather and wear while retaining a tactile matte texture with understated sophistication.

From cosy café tables to sizable dining benches, and elegant armchairs to versatile café stools—the collection thoughtfully covers a range of outdoor needs. And with five soft yet bold colours—from Burnt Orange vibrance to Dark Green depth—it’s easy to mix, match, and express personality.

In essence, Muuto’s Linear Steel Outdoor Collection doesn’t just fill space—it frames it. It’s furniture that brings people together, set against the backdrop of nature, and does so with integrity, elegance, and a quietly confident design language.
