High Tech - Grythyttan Stålmöbler

The High Tech series

The Grythyttan High Tech series presents a rigorous and functional collection of outdoor furniture, developed for environments where design and durability are prioritised. The series represents an architectural aesthetic where every piece of furniture is engineered to withstand the stresses of the outdoor climate. The minimalist design, combined with the technical precision in manufacturing, positions High Tech as a prominent choice for both the private terrace and the professional outdoor space.

Materials and Technical Precision

The construction philosophy behind High Tech rests on a combination of industrial steel and weather-resistant surfaces. The furniture is manufactured with a steel frame treated through a hot-dip galvanised finish, providing robust corrosion protection and a matt, integrated look. Alternatively, the surface treatment is executed through powder coating in various colours to meet specific architectural demands. The choice of hot-dip galvanised steel is central to ensuring the furniture lasts for many generations. This method of surface treatment demonstrates Grythyttan’s commitment to functional sustainability.
High Tech tables are fitted with tops in white compact laminate, a high-performance material known for its density and extreme resistance to UV radiation and moisture. This material withstands weathering and requires minimal maintenance, making the tables ideal for constant outdoor furnishing. The table frames are detachable, an important feature that facilitates handling and storage during periods when the furniture is not in use. The range includes several table sizes, including models with a length of 135 centimetres, offering a generous surface for dinner parties.

Construction and Ergonomics

The High Tech chair is a specific construction within the series that exemplifies the balance between form and practical function. The chair is built on a frame in either hot-dip galvanised steel or powder-coated steel.
The seat and back of the High Tech chair consist of perforated steel sheet. This solution provides a visually light expression while contributing to quick drainage and minimising heating under direct sunlight. An ergonomically designed seat ensures that the chair offers functional comfort. One of the most prominent features of the High Tech chair is its stackability. This feature is crucial for optimising space and protecting the chairs during storage. Grythyttan has succeeded in creating a chair that is both robust enough for continuous use and agile enough to be handled without effort. The High Tech chair is one of several chairs available in our range of Grythyttan Steel Furniture. We maintain an extensive stock of High Tech chair products for fast delivery.

Nisse Strinning and High Tech's Design Legacy

The foundation for the Grythyttan High Tech series was laid by Nisse Strinning, a designer whose name is internationally recognised through the String shelving system. In 1984, Nisse Strinning designed a chair that would define the industrial and functional aesthetic for the High Tech series. His design idea focused on creating a piece of furniture that was light, robust, and stackable – a form that could last for many generations. Strinning chose to use steel, a material that matched Grythyttan’s expertise in metalwork.
Nisse Strinning's contribution to Grythyttan brought a modern and rigorous line to the company's design language. Although High Tech is a relatively young classic in Grythyttan’s range, it bears clear traces of Strinning’s functional aesthetic. Grythyttan High Tech is therefore a synthesis of Swedish design history and advanced production technology. This series is an established classic that shows how designers can create furniture that remains relevant over time.
