With an aesthetic lightness designed for indoor or outdoor application, the Swing Chair can sit in any exterior environment with its durable and stackable design. Drawing inspiration from the 70’s era, the Swing Chair is a fusion of sophisticated aesthetic and playful design.
The Swing Chair uses cutting-edge manufacturing equipment to deliver a refined design that elevates any space. Representing a new era for Tait, the seamless construction is world-class, sitting beautifully within the Tait stable of Australian-designed and made products. As is typical of Tait products, the Swing Chair is available in a range of options including raw, electro-polished stainless steel, one of the most hardwearing finishes for the outdoors, and any of Tait’s seventeen powder coat colours. The swing Chair is also available with optional stainless-steel armrests.
The Swing Chair launch coincides with Melbourne Design Week, where Tait celebrates its 30th anniversary through a special exhibition curated by Marsha Golemac. The exhibition highlights Tait’s rich history of collaborating with Australian designers and craftspeople who embrace the highest degree of skill, showcasing three decades of high-performance design, manufacturing, and ideas that advance contemporary design and sustainability.
From the hammer to the robot, the exhibition invites visitors to explore Tait’s early works, insights, unexpected paths, and the future of the company.

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:
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.
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.
