A showstopper. This Karama Daybed in "Off-White" is truly the height of outdoor luxury. With a non-rusting aluminium frame, this easy-care, durable pick is for all weather. Yet, it doesn't compromise on style - with a basket weave pattern which is to die for.

Thanks to the off-white water-resistant cushions and side curtains, this will be kept safe from the elements. Roll up when you want a cool breeze or down if you want some privacy. Oka believes this can transport you to the Savannah, offering comfort, shade and luxury to your garden.
