The Billy Chair emerges as a harmonious blend of nostalgia and contemporary design, echoing the spirit of suburban Australian creativity and innovation. Inspired by the playful memories of billy carts careening down sunlit streets and times when modernist designers weaved tubular form into hills hoists, the collaboration between Industrial Designer Adam Goodrum and the Tait Design Studio brings forth a truly unique piece.

Rooted in a process of nostalgic reflection and playful experimentation and embodying thoughtful ergonomics and versatility, the Billy Chair has a stainless-steel frame and Aluminium seat. Manufactured in Melbourne and designed to withstand harsh Australian conditions, the Billy Chair invites individuals to experience comfort and style in equal measure.

The Billy Collection includes the Chair, Lounger, Sunlounge, Dining Table, Easy Dining Table, Stool or Side Table, Bar Cart and upholstery options for the Billy Chair, Lounger and Sunlounge. The stainless-steel tubular frames can be electropolished or powder coated in a selection of over 20 UV-stable satin or textured powder coat colour palettes, with the Accoya timber option available in a range of six coloured stains using environmentally responsible oils. Continuing the nod to nostalgia, the Billy upholstery follows the curves of the frames with a contrasting piping constructed from 100% recycled fabric Noosa, available in 14 colours.

Underpinned by our commitment to sustainability and spanning commercial to residential and hospitality to corporate applications, each piece in this comprehensive collection is designed for outdoor use, though it is equally at home indoors.

How to care
for your Billy Chair – Metal

General Care
CARE & MAINTENANCE

At Tait, we make products for life. Our products are crafted from high-performance materials designed to withstand the elements across our diverse Australian climate zones. We make design decisions with both form and function in mind, combining timeless and cutting-edge designs with beautiful finishes in order to elevate your outdoor (or indoor) experience.

Our collections are handcrafted from weather-resistant materials, making each piece a durable choice. In order to maintain their look and feel over time, Tait items need ongoing care and maintenance. The frequency of maintenance will vary depending on the level of care you want to provide, your personal standards and requirements as well as the environment within which the product lives.

Please refer to the care instructions relevant to the specific materials and finishes of your product, and take note of the warranty details to understand the parameters.

Warranty

We finish making our products by hand, and know they can live a long and useful life when equally cared for in your hands. For those rare occasions where it’s needed, we offer a *10-year structural warranty , made possible by the stringent quality control standards within our factory on Wurundjeri Land in Thomastown, Victoria. *(Australia only, for orders dated after 01 July 2025)

The warranty does not cover:

  • Damage from mishandling, mistreatment, abuse or lack of maintenance.
  • Natural ageing, general wear and tear and fading.
  • Damage from organic or man-made matter including mineral deposits, soils and fertilisers; or from the build-up of environmental mould.
  • Corrosion spots at the weld joins (which do not affect the structural integrity of the product and are a natural outcome of the material used).
  • Corrosion of steel furniture and parts as a result of hard seafront or chlorinated environments.
  • Any variations in colour, shade or gloss levels of finishes including stone tops and timbers.
  • Changes of heart based on personal preference.
  • Transportation costs for replacement parts/products, or labour costs for repair (these are charged at our discretion)
    Goods that have been held in storage for any period (due to the potential impact of environmental extremities in certain storage facilities).
  • Tait offers a 1-year warranty on upholstery, this includes foam and finishing (stitching, zips etc).
The above Tait warranty terms are accepted by the customer and end-user upon order and supply.

Powder Coat
CARE & MAINTENANCE

Wash regularly with warm soapy water and mild detergent using a soft cloth. For commercial, industrial or marine environments we recommend monthly maintenance. Always rinse well with water, to remove any remaining detergent.

Avoid steam cleaning, pressure washing, abrasive cleansers, steel brushes/wools and cleaners containing chlorine. Avoid scratching the surface by dry dusting. Never use strong solvents to clean powder coated surfaces. Aggressive solvents such as turpentine, white spirits, thinners, citrus based cleaners, Spray and Wipe, and other aggressive solvents are harmful to the extended life of the powder coated surface. Do not allow detritus, organic or man-made matter to settle on the product surface. We recommend removing any buildup of mineral deposits leaching from soils and fertilisers, should it occur on Tait’s planters.

Rough treatment of powder-coated furniture can result in chipping of the coated surface; this is not covered under warranty.

Most Tait products come with protective fittings – stacking glides, bumpers, socks/feet and glides. These aid in protection against chipping and scratching. Powder coated chairs are designed to be set in place gently.

Touch-up paint may be purchased on request. It is advisable to repair minor nicks and scratches as soon as they appear.

When placing a furniture cover over a table for an extended period of time, it is recommended to first place an empty plastic pot plant in the centre of the table, then placing the furniture cover over the top. This will prevent the possibility of the furniture cover adhering to the table surface.

Should you wish to touch up any blemishes which may occur, please contact your nearest Tait showroom and request a Powder Coat Touch Up Kit. Please follow our Powder Coat Touch Up Guide (available under ‘Dimensions and Specs – Download Assets’ on the product page) for application details.

Warranty

Powder coat is a decorative finish for indoor and outdoor use. While it assists with metal protection, it is not a corrosion protection in its own right. The components of Tait powder coated products are produced in either aluminium, stainless steel or mild steel.

The mild steel base materials are treated with two levels of pre-protection that guard against corrosion. The products are then powder coated to make the surface resistant to corrosion and suitable for use in exterior environments.

Minor corrosion spots at the weld joins – under table tops, bases and seat frames, may be evident on mild steel products. These do not affect the structural integrity of the product and are not covered by the Tait warranty.

Whilst every care is taken to provide the most suitable finish according to the use and the environment the product will be subjected to, Tait cannot guarantee this decorative finish against scratching, scuffing, chipping, fading or corrosion as a result of use in harsh seafront, extreme or environments where chlorine is present.

Tait offer a range of powder coat colours which offer excellent UV stability and are suitable for use in outdoor applications. Whilst powder coat offers excellent colour retention, natural fading is not covered under the Tait warranty. To ensure longevity of this finish please refer to the care and maintenance.

The warranty does not cover any occurrence of detritus, organic or man-made matter settling on the product surface. The warranty also excludes buildup of mineral deposits leaching from soils and fertilisers, should it occur on the surface of Tait’s planters. Nor does this warranty cover any product corrosion directly caused by aforementioned matter.

Tait assume no responsibility for product damage caused by the use of furniture covers.

Stainless Steel
CARE & MAINTENANCE

Stainless steel is the top quailty in terms of anti-corrosion, longevity and lower-than-low-maintenance. Here at Tait we use both Electropolished 304 and Fired 304 stainless steel. Looking after it is an easy task.

DO:

-Wash your stainless steel pieces regularly with soapy water and a clean cloth
-Use a non-abrasive cream cleaner or commercial cleaner for more stubborn marks
-Clean in one direction along the original polish lines

 

DO NOT:

-Use steel wool, scourers or metallic scrapers
-Allow dirt to accumulate
-Using abrasive cleaners on the Fired finish may remove the surface colouring

A WORD ON TEA-STAINING
In a salty sea-air environment, stainless steel can be prone to “tea-staining” (usually within 5km of the surf), recognisable by surface discolouration caused by a build-up of environmental elements.

Tea-staining is no cause for alarm as it is purely cosmetic and does not affect the structural integrity of the material.  An electro-polished finish will reduce the occurrence of tea staining, but should it occur, it will clean right off with hot soapy water and a bit of elbow grease.

Careless handling, treatment or misuse of our products can result in damage and is not covered under our manufacturer’s warranty.

Warranty

Tait provides a 5-year warranty on stainless steel framework against structural defects. The corrosion of stainless steel and steel parts due to use in a confined chlorinated environment or as a result of direct use in harsh seafront locations which are not covered under warranty.  Variations in colour and texture on the Fired finish are a natural part of the process and are not considered a defect.

Tea staining will occur on Stainless Steel and is not covered by the Tait warranty.
