Theodore Sofa
A study in relaxed geometry. The Theodore Sofa features an expansive teak plinth base that supports a continuous run of hand-woven performance rope. The backrest is pitched at the perfect angle for deep-seated lounging, providing a subtle "give" that mirrors the comfort of interior upholstery.
- The Craft: Hand-tensioned rope backrest for responsive support.
- The Pitch: Engineered for a relaxed, conversational recline.
- Complete Comfort: Includes high-resiliency seat and back cushions.
72.8" L X 36.6" W X 29.7" H
GRADE-A TEAK
Our frames are master-crafted from sustainably harvested Grade-A teak, the world’s most durable and prestigious hardwood for outdoor environments.
- The Integrity: High in natural oils and exceptionally dense, our teak is inherently resistant to rot, moisture, and UV degradation.
- The Finish: Left in its natural, raw state to celebrate the organic grain. Over time, the honey-gold wood will gracefully evolve into a distinguished silvery-grey patina, a hallmark of authentic teak.
- Construction: We utilize traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery, allowing the wood to expand and contract naturally with seasonal changes while maintaining uncompromising structural stability.
HIGH-TENACITY PERFORMANCE ROPE
The signature backrest is hand-tensioned using premium, multi-filament Olefin rope, creating a suspension-driven comfort that is both breathable and resilient.
- Technical Weave: Engineered for high-traffic environments, our rope is UV-stable, moisture-resistant, and designed to maintain its tension and "perfect pitch" without stretching over time.
- Tactile Quality: Despite its extreme durability, the rope offers a soft, textile-like feel, adding a layer of tactile warmth to the architectural teak frame.
BESPOKE PERFORMANCE CUSHIONS (INCLUDED)
Every seating piece in the Theodore collection is paired with a custom-tailored cushion set, engineered for an interior-level lounging experience.
- The Fabric: Upholstered in 100% solution-dyed acrylic performance fabrics (Sunbrella®, Sunproof®, or Perennials®). These textiles are color-fast to the core, making them resistant to fading, stains, and mildew.
- Quick-Dry Technology: The cushions feature high-resiliency, "flow-through" foam cores wrapped in polyester batting. This allows water to drain rapidly and air to circulate, ensuring your furniture is ready for use shortly after a rain.

Prado Outdoor is committed to providing high-quality outdoor furniture for both residential and hospitality (commercial) use. Our warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship for the specified periods below, effective from the date of purchase (original invoice required). While we stand behind our products, normal wear and tear or misuse is not covered. The warranty is offered to the original purchaser and is non-transferable. Warranty coverage differs for residential vs. commercial use as noted:
- Frames (Aluminum, Steel, Teak): Residential – 3 Years, Commercial – 2 Years. Covers structural integrity of furniture frames in normal use. Components like foot glides or hardware are not considered part of the frame and may wear with use. This warranty excludes finish changes due to weather or use.
- Outdoor Fabrics (Cushion Covers & Upholstery): Residential – 5 Years, Commercial – 3 Years. Covers fading or disintegration of solution-dyed acrylic fabrics under normal exposure. Stains, mildew, or damage from improper cleaning are not manufacturing defects.

- Cushion Construction (Seams & Zippers): Residential – 2 Years, Commercial – 1 Year. Covers manufacturing defects in cushion sewing, such as seam slippage or zipper failure. Routine softening or compression of cushions is normal wear and not a defect.
- Outdoor Cushion Foam Inserts: 1 Year (Residential or Commercial). Covers loss of resiliency beyond normal softening of high-density outdoor foam. To maximize lifespan, avoid waterlogging cushions and allow them to dry out if they get wet.
- Table Tops – Glass: 2 Years. Covers manufacturing defects in tempered glass table tops. Chips, scratches, or breaks due to impact or misuse are not covered. Always inspect glass upon delivery.
- Table Tops – Ceramic & Porcelain (Laminam®): 2 Years. Covers structural defects like cracking not caused by external impact. Minor color variations or texture differences in ceramic slabs are natural and not considered defects. Use proper care to avoid thermal shock.
- Table Tops – Natural Stone (Granite, Marble, etc.): 2 Years. Covers structural defects unrelated to natural stone characteristics. Color/grain variations or surface pits are inherent and not covered.
- Umbrellas & Bases: 1 Year. Covers manufacturer defects in outdoor umbrellas and bases. Wind damage or tipping is not covered.

Theodore Sofa
Designers Note
"With the Theodore Sofa, we wanted to explore the concept of architectural weightlessness. While the base is a substantial, grounded plinth of Grade-A teak, the backrest is defined by a rhythmic, hand-tensioned rope weave that allows light and air to pass through freely.
We meticulously engineered the 'perfect pitch' of the backrest to ensure that the suspension-driven support responds to the body, providing a deep, cradled comfort that is rare in outdoor seating. It is a modern interpretation of the mid-century design philosophy where raw, organic materials meet technical innovation. The result is a sofa that doesn't just sit in a space, but defines it through a play of light, shadow, and linear precision."
Theodore Sofa FAQs
Theodore Sofa is engineered with high-tenacity, multi-filament Olefin rope that is hand-tensioned across the Grade-A teak frame. Unlike traditional outdoor upholstery that may sag over time, this performance rope is designed for minimal stretch and maximum recovery. It creates a responsive, suspension-driven support system that distributes weight evenly across the entire length of the sofa, maintaining its "perfect pitch" and structural integrity for years.
Yes. To provide a seamless design experience, every Theodore Sofa includes a complete set of custom-tailored, high-resiliency cushions. The price reflects the master-crafted teak and rope frame along with the coordinating seat and back cushions upholstered in premium performance fabrics. No additional cushion purchase is required.
We use sustainably harvested Grade-A teak, which is naturally rich in organic oils. When left untreated, the wood will gracefully evolve from its original honey-gold tone to a distinguished silvery-grey patina. This transition is purely aesthetic and does not affect the structural strength of the sofa. If you prefer the original warmth, the wood can be maintained with a high-quality teak sealer once a year.
Yes. To ensure the highest level of service, the Theodore Sofa is delivered fully assembled via our White Glove Delivery service. Our team will place the sofa in your preferred outdoor setting, perform a full inspection, and remove all packaging materials. Because of the sofa’s substantial solid-teak construction, we handle the heavy lifting so your space is ready for immediate enjoyment.
Absolutely. The rope used in the Theodore collection is specifically engineered for high-UV and high-moisture environments. It is solution-dyed, meaning the color is permeated to the core of the fiber, making it exceptionally resistant to fading, mold, and mildew. Its open-weave design also allows for rapid airflow, ensuring the sofa dries quickly after rain or cleaning.
