Simply dubbed the '[True collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fender-chair),' the range includes outdoor seating furniture with very skinny silhouettes and playful colors. The True collection spotlights two silhouettes—the Marina Out and the Not Our. While the former features a slick backrest and is inspired by its indoor counterpart, except it is rendered in hardwearing steel, the latter has "a more generous backrest that gently envelopes the occupant." The steel-frame seating collection is available in True Design's ultra-durable and weather-resistant epoxy powder paints. The colors are very summer-like and include lavender purple, soft yellow, burnt orange, white, and more.
