Nardi Trill Chair Range

Nardi Trill Chair Range - FAQs

1. What is the difference between the Trill and the Trill Arm chair?

   The Trill Bistrot is the armless side chair in Nardi's Trill collection, and the Trill Arm is the armchair version with curved arms for extra comfort. Both share the same fine vertical batten resin shell design, so they mix at one table without looking mismatched, with the armless Bistrot tucking closer to the table for tighter layouts and the Trill Arm suited to guests who prefer arm support for longer sittings. A cushioned Bistrot variant is also available for venues wanting extra comfort without moving to the armchair. Both are single body resin builds that drain rainwater and stack for storage between services.

2. What is the Nardi Trill chair made from?

   It is a single body fibreglass reinforced polypropylene resin shell, moulded in one piece rather than assembled from separate parts, using the same construction across the whole Trill collection from dining chairs to bar stools. The design drains rainwater through its fine vertical batten or ribbed back, so it can stay outside without pooling water on the seat after rain. Being UV stabilised, the resin resists fading from sun exposure over repeated seasons. No oiling, sealing or covering is needed, an occasional wipe down is the only maintenance the shell requires to stay in commercial or residential outdoor condition.

3. What colours does the Nardi Trill chair come in?

   The Trill Bistrot dining chair is available in Agave, Anthracite, Mustard, Rose Pink, Teal, Tortora and White, seven colours in total for coordinating a dining setting. The Trill Arm armchair adds two further named finishes, Rose Quartz and Grigio, alongside the standard range colours, giving a softer or more muted accent option. Bar stool versions, the Mini at 65cm and the standard at 76cm, are offered in a similar palette. Check the individual product page for the full current colour range and stock availability, since resin finishes are updated from time to time as Nardi refreshes the collection.

4. How much does a Nardi Trill chair weigh?

   The armless Trill Bistrot weighs 3.8kg and the Trill Arm armchair weighs 4.7kg, both light enough for one person to carry and reposition without help. The bar height versions are slightly heavier, the Trill Bar Stool Mini at 4.6kg and the standard Trill Bar 76cm at 5kg, reflecting their larger footrest and taller frame. This weight range matters in a cafe or restaurant resetting tables and chairs through service, or clearing a floor for cleaning at close, since every piece in the range stays manageable for one staff member rather than needing two people to move.

5. Do Nardi Trill chairs stack for storage?

   Yes. Every chair and stool in the Trill collection stacks, including the Bistrot, the cushioned Bistrot, the Trill Arm in its standard and named colour finishes, and both the Mini and standard bar stools. Stacking keeps a floor or storeroom clear when chairs are not in use, which matters in a hospitality venue that needs to reset a dining room quickly between services or clear space for cleaning overnight. Because each piece is a single body resin moulding, there are no legs or frames to fold separately, so stacking is straightforward and needs no tools or extra hardware.

6. Can Nardi Trill chairs be used commercially outdoors all year?

   Yes. The fibreglass reinforced resin build used across the whole Trill range is designed for permanent outdoor use, resisting sun and rain without a cover, oiling or sealing at any point in the year. An occasional wipe down is all the maintenance the shell needs, whether it is installed at a busy hospitality venue seating guests daily or a home courtyard used occasionally. The same durability applies to the dining chairs, the armchair and both bar stool heights, so a venue can mix pieces from across the collection without worrying that some parts need more care than others.

7. Can I buy Nardi Trill chairs as a set?

   Yes. The Trill Bistrot and Trill Arm are both available individually or as a set of six, which suits fitting out a dining area or cafe in one order rather than buying single chairs and checking the finish matches later. The bar height Trill Bar Stool Mini and Trill Bar 76cm are also sold as a set of four for matching a bar or counter setting. Buying as a set does not change a chair's weight, stacking ability or outdoor durability, it simply bundles a fixed quantity of the same product in the same colour for a faster, coordinated order.

8. Is a cushion available for the Nardi Trill Bistrot chair?

   Yes. The Trill Bistrot is available with a fitted grafite seat cushion in an acrylic outdoor fabric, sold as the cushioned Bistrot variant rather than as a separate accessory. The cushion is fitted to the same 3.8kg single body resin shell as the standard Bistrot, so seat height, stacking and outdoor durability are unchanged, it simply adds a soft finish for guests who will be seated for longer periods. Venues wanting the cushioned look across a whole dining setting can order the cushioned variant directly rather than sourcing cushions separately afterwards.

9. What colours does the Trill armchair come in beyond the standard range?

   Alongside the standard Trill colours, the armchair is also offered in two named finishes, Rose Quartz and Grigio, each a single body fibreglass polypropylene resin shell built the same way as the rest of the range. Both weigh 4.7kg, drain rainwater and stack for storage like every other Trill armchair. These named finishes give a venue a softer or more muted accent option without changing the frame design, weight or care needs, so the choice comes down to which finish suits the setting rather than any difference in durability.

10. What is the difference between the Trill Bistrot chair and the Trill Bar 76cm stool?

    The Trill Bistrot is a dining height side chair with no footrest, built for use at a standard dining table, while the Trill Bar 76cm is the bar height version of the same vertical batten design, with a moulded footrest and a 76cm seat for use at bar height tables. The Bar 76cm weighs 5kg against the Bistrot's 3.8kg. Both share the same resin build, ribbed back and stacking ability, so the choice depends entirely on the height of the table they will be paired with.

11. Does the Trill Bar 76cm stool have a footrest?

    Yes. The Trill Bar 76cm includes a moulded footrest built into the resin shell, which supports the feet at bar height rather than leaving them hanging, a detail the dining height Bistrot chair does not need. The footrest is moulded as part of the single body resin build rather than a separate fitted piece, so it adds no assembly and no extra weight beyond the stool's usual 5kg. This makes the Bar 76cm suited to extended bar seating in the same way a dining chair is designed for a table setting.

12. Which Trill stool suits a bar table versus a kitchen island or counter?

    The Trill Bar 76cm, at a 76cm seat height, is built for standard bar height tables, while the Trill Bar Stool Mini, at a 65cm seat height, suits lower counters, kitchen islands and bench height settings. Both share the same vertical batten resin design and ribbed back, so the visual match across a venue is consistent, and the only decision is which surface height each stool needs to reach. Checking the counter or table height before ordering avoids a stool that sits too low or too high for comfortable seating.
