Using a design process not dissimilar to the tailoring of a piece of fabric into a form-fitting garment, the Seam Collection takes shape using a series of cuts, folds and joins.
The shells of the Seam Chair and Barstool ensemble are formed and folded from a single piece of aluminium whose ends meet to create a ‘seam’ along the spine of the chair, giving the collection its eponymous signature detail.
Seam delivers a system of seemingly endless table formations for a mixture of applications with various size, shape, colour and finishes possibilities.
The Seam collection is Australian designer Adam Cornish’s first collection for Tait. An elegantly resolved and comprehensive collection, Seam delivers a system of seemingly endless seating and table formations for a mixture of applications.
The collection is a deliberate composition of essential pieces – dining chair, stacking chair, barstool, bench seat, dining table, café table and bar table – each with multiple colour, finish and shape alternatives.
Seam is a collection that is revered by architects and designers alike for its ability to speak to a range of residential and commercial contexts along with the assurance of genuine local manufacture using sustainable methodologies, quality craftsmanship supported with a manufacturer guarantee and product longevity.
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.

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.
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 (Australia only), made possible by the stringent quality control standards within our factory on Wurundjeri Land in Thomastown, Victoria.
The warranty does not cover:
Tait use FunderMax exterior high-pressure laminates (HPL) which offer extremely effective durability in outdoor and high-use (commercial) applications. Exceptionally hard-wearing, these products are:
-scratch resistant (not scratch-proof)
-easy to clean-solvent resistant
-extremely weather resistant
-impact resistant
-offer optimal UV light fastness.
COMPACT LAMINATE CONSTRUCTION
Compact laminate is constructed with layers of paper, dipped in resin and cured. These layers are then sandwiched between the laminated top and bottom sheets and compressed. A process called polymerisation melds them all together creating a solid-core panel that is an extra tough durable laminate.
CARING FOR YOUR COMPACT LAMINATE
DO:
-Dust with a soft, dry (we prefer microfibre) cloth
-Wipe up spills using a damp (we still prefer microfibre) cloth
-For persistent stains use hot water and household detergent, then remove with clean water or window cleaning agent
-Repeat several times if necessary
-Rub surface dry with an absorbent clean cloth (we prefer paper towel) to prevent streaks or smears
DO NOT:
-Use steel wool, metallic scrapers or strong solvents to clean
Careless handling, treatment or misuse of our products can result in damage and is not covered under our manufacturer’s warranty. Dark colours will show marks and scratches more easily.
FunderMax high-pressure laminates are extremely effective and particularly suitable for outdoor applications. The product has been chosen for its high weather resistance, optimal light-fastness and scratch resistance.
The laminate is not scratch-proof, with small nicks and scratches deemed general wear and tear. Small marks from the manufacturer’s processing may be evident. These are deemed acceptable and are not covered by Tait warranty.
Please refer to the compact laminate section of the care and maintenance instructions.
All compact laminates are bound by the warranty of the manufacturer. Tait provides no warranty direct or indirect, implied or referred.
Tait selects premium Accoya engineered timber that provide superior rot-resistance, defy the elements and stay strong for decades and are manufactured using clean technologies and sustainably sourced.
Accoya® Timber is modified by acetylation. Acetylation is a non-toxic process in which radiata pine is soaked in an organic compound related to vinegar, making the wood more resistant to moisture, insects, and rot.
Tait’s oil finishes are specially formulated for high-performance timbers. To comply with warranty requirements, cleaning and maintenance of timbers are obligatory.
Surface clean the timber components of your outdoor furniture pieces at least twice a year. Wash the surfaces thoroughly with a soft cloth, using warm soapy water to remove dust, grime and insects. A build-up of dust and grime can lead to the increased growth of green algae, mould and other surface fouling. Always rinse well with water, to remove any remaining detergent and allow to dry.
Avoid pressure washing, abrasive cleansers, steel brushes/wools and cleaners containing chlorine. Never use strong solvents to clean timber 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 timber.
Recoating your timber
To restore the original appearance of timber please contact Tait’s customer service ([email protected]) to request a maintenance kit and follow the Oil Reapplication Guide (under “Dimension Specs – Download Assets” on the website product page of your Tait product).
When placing a furniture cover over any 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.
Careless handling, treatment or misuse of our products can result in damage and is not covered under our manufacturer’s warranty.
Accoya® timber is perfect for exterior furniture applications. The Accoya® timber component is covered for 1 year from the date of purchase, subject to proper maintenance by the purchaser and fair wear and tear. Accoya timber is treated Radiata Pine, is a softwood therefore subject to denting.
End and surface checking may appear and is not claimable under warranty.
Any changes in the visual appearance of timber that are directly linked to ageing are not covered by warranty. As timber is a living material, the appearance of its surface evolves naturally over time.
Tait recommends maintenance as required with our premium Oils to reduce colour loss, dryness and weathering. Engineered timbers that have been treated with tinted Osmo Oil may fade when placed in direct sunlight. This is not covered by the Tait warranty.
The warranty does not cover product damage caused by the build-up of mould due to environmental factors such as wet weather, damp and humidity
Tait assumes no responsibility for product damage caused by the use of furniture covers.
