Description
Most outdoor chairs come in one color. Arvid Design Your Own starts from the same welded steel frame and solid Grade A teak seat and back, and lets you choose the frame: black, beige, white or taupe, rendered live in 3D before anything is built.
Whichever finish you pick, the chair is made for permanent outdoor use. The powder coating resists moisture, UV and corrosion and needs no seasonal treatment, and the teak either weathers to a silver-gray patina or keeps its warm tone with a seasonal pass of teak oil. Arvid works bare or with the Arvid outdoor lounge cushion, sold separately as a two-piece seat and back set.
Each chair is an original by Crea, designed by Alexandra Pettersson and welded and powder-coated in our own factory in Malmö. It carries 200 kg and is covered by our 10-year warranty, built to be repaired rather than replaced, with spare parts available long after purchase. Made to order in Malmö. Full dimensions are in the dropdown below.
“Arvid is the chair I wanted to leave outside and stop thinking about. The steel does the structure and the teak does the sitting, and the weather is allowed to take the wood wherever it wants.”

Durability & Certifications
Care & Maintenance
Frame
Wipe with a microfiber cloth, lukewarm water and a normal cleaning agent. Refrain from using too acidic solutions as this will fade out the outer protection of the powder-coat.
Wood
Clean down with a microfibercloth, lukewarm water and a very neutral washing agent. Do NOT use acidic solutions.
Our Oak furniture is lacquered with an industrial lacquer that will fade over time. It is a protective layer. By using acidic solutions you will be removing this protection.
NEVER leave metal pans, pots or candleholders on top of an oak top. Oak naturally has tannic acids that will leave a black round mark if you leave metal objects on the surface.
Delivery, Returns & Assembly
Shipping
Shipping is calculated at checkout from your delivery address and the size of your order, so you see the exact cost before you pay. A tracking link reaches you by email the moment your order leaves our factory in Malmö, Sweden.
Delivery time
Orders to the United States are delivered by UPS, normally 2 to 5 business days after dispatch. Made to order pieces are produced first, and that production time is shown on this page.
Assembly
Most of our furniture arrives fully assembled. Dining tables and some outdoor pieces arrive with the top and legs packed separately, and fitting them takes 5 to 10 minutes and one screwdriver.
Returns
You have 14 days from delivery to request a return, provided the piece is unused and in its original condition. Email info@by-crea.com or open the chat and we will arrange it. Return shipping is paid by you at the carrier's actual rate, typically 15 to 20% of the order value, or roughly 35 to 100 USD per package depending on size and destination. We confirm the exact amount before anything is collected.
Custom orders
Anything configured through Design Your Own, with custom dimensions, finishes or materials, is produced specifically for your order and is not eligible for return. Order free samples first, or ask us in the chat, and we will help you get it right the first time.
FAQ
Yes. The powder-coated steel frame is rated for permanent outdoor exposure and needs no seasonal treatment, and Grade A teak is naturally moisture and weather resistant. Arvid is built to stay out through all four seasons.
No. Arvid is sold without a cushion. The Arvid outdoor lounge cushion is a separate product, a two-piece seat and back set, and the chair is designed to work with or without it. If you add it, both pieces machine wash cool on a gentle cycle and air dry.
Very little. Left untreated the teak weathers to a silver-grey patina over one to two seasons. To keep the original warm tone, apply teak oil once or twice a season. Clean with mild soap and warm water. No sanding or chemical treatment is needed.
The powder coating forms a hardened, bonded surface that resists moisture, UV and corrosion. It is highly resistant to chipping and peeling under normal outdoor use and needs no seasonal maintenance. Wipe it down with a damp cloth when needed.
Four: black, beige, white and taupe. Pick the frame colour here and see it in 3D before you order. Black is also kept in stock as a ready-made chair.
In our own factory in Malmö, Sweden. The frame is powder-coated in house and every chair is inspected by hand before it ships.
