Designed around a continuous stainless-steel tube, Tait’s Swing Chair is defined by a line that seems to move around the body rather than simply support it. Now, that idea has been extended into a full collection.
Designed by Adam Goodrum with the Tait Design Studio, the new Swing Collection includes a lounger, barstool, chaise, dining table, café table and side table. The chair, lounger and barstool are available with or without arms, while the armless chair can be stacked up to six pieces. The barstool is also offered in two heights.
For Goodrum, the expansion began with the logic of the original chair. “The Collection evolved from the core idea of the Swing Chair, a continuous stainless-steel tube that flows around the object in one uninterrupted line. That gesture became the defining language of the collection,” he says.
Each new piece tests how far that line can go. Across the collection, “each piece explores how this single line can bend and loop to support different functions, while maintaining a sense of visual lightness and rhythm,” says Goodrum. “The result is a family of furniture that feels cohesive.”
The collection also draws on Tait’s long history of local manufacturing. Founding Director and metal craftsman Gordon Tait notes that expanding an existing design came with its own technical advantages. “The learnings from the Swing Chair were transformed to the new products,” he says. “Wire formation, tube forming, programming and jig design were all revisited and refined.”
Made for indoor and outdoor use, the Swing Collection is designed for residential, hospitality, retail and workplace settings. Its stainless-steel construction is suited to UV exposure, coastal air, humidity and high-traffic use, while its slim profile allows the pieces to sit easily within landscape and architecture.

“Its visual lightness allows it to complement architecture and landscape without dominating the space,” says Founding Director Susan Tait, “while the stainless-steel construction makes it highly durable for exterior use.”
Longevity is central to the collection. Swing is backed by a 10-year structural warranty, with powder-coated finishes offering UV-resistant protection. For a reflective finish, electropolishing provides a chrome-like effect without the use of toxic chemicals.
As with Tait’s broader range, the collection has also been designed with renewal in mind. The stainless-steel structure is recyclable, while powder-coated pieces can be stripped and recoated over time. Electropolished and passivated finishes can also be reprocessed to restore the surface.
In that sense, Swing is less about adding another outdoor furniture range and more about extending a design language already tested in use. The collection keeps the charm of the original chair, but gives it more places to land — around a table, beside a pool, in a courtyard, or across a hospitality terrace.
