In contrast, Graphite Rope is paired with white and grey fabrics and crisp white ceramic tabletops, to offer a monochromatic contemporary look. Characterised by luxurious upholstery and woven rope wrapping, both collections are equally suited for high-end residential spaces too.

Both collections are manufactured with Akula’s marine-grade materials, which are selected for their durability and functionality in all hospitality and commercial settings. Materials require minimal maintenance and upkeep, with easy cleaning required where necessary.
Fusion and Spiral feature triple powder-coated aluminium, Olefin rope, durable fabrics and hard-wearing ceramic across an array of dining and lounging. Alongside their premium visual appeal and texture, Akula’s materials are specifically engineered to withstand the outdoors – enduring heavy-usage and demanding weather conditions.
Ropes and fabrics offer UV, seawater and chlorine resistance, with cushions featuring Quick-Dry Foam for efficient drainage and ventilation, whilst also offering added comfort. Akula’s aluminium frames and ceramic tabletops are heat and scratch resistant, being easy to maintain and care for.
“I’m thrilled to be launching this collection of outdoor furniture with Akula Living. From our very first conversation, it was clear that we shared a commitment to design excellence and a detail-oriented approach to the creative process. The collection is a natural extension of my interior design work- bringing the same principles of balance, harmony, and understated luxury into the outdoor space. We’ve focused on neutral palettes, layered textures, and sculptural silhouettes that demonstrate how outdoor furniture can be just as elegant and effortless as indoor furniture.” – Kelly Hoppen CBE.
Each Akula piece is engineered to last in all hospitality, commercial and cruise settings through its in-house manufacturing capabilities, offering longevity and an increased product life cycle.
With a thorough understanding of outdoor requirements and conditions, Akula specialises in continuous innovations and advancements, providing furniture that performs in any setting, reducing the need for frequent furniture replacements.
