Outside Dining
Offering the perfect centrepiece for gatherings of family and friends or for simply taking dinnertime outside, a solid dining table and chairs is crucial for any outdoor area. Not only will it facilitate conversation and allow you to take in the beauty of the season, but the right set will withstand the elements for seasons to come.

Dreamy Daybeds
There’s nothing better than curling up in a sunny (or shady) spot with your favourite book, and these delightful daybeds are the ideal places to do just that. Comfortable, cosy and made to facilitate relaxed afternoons, these daybeds are essential for any well-furnished outdoor area.
Sculptural Centrepieces
Give your al fresco space some style with intriguing, sculptural design pieces that make a bold statement. Whether it be a uniquely-curved chair or a dining table that plays with brutalist proportions, these pieces will help you take your signature design style outside.
Poolside Loungers
Simply put, a pool doesn’t feel complete without being surrounded by a suite of sleek loungers. Designed to help us soak in the summer rays, these loungers will make days by the pool a far more chic and definitely more comfortable affair.
After Dark Additions
Make the most of the season’s long, warm evenings by installing some strategic lighting in your outdoor space. From versatile table lamps to larger floor lights that cast a diffused, dappled glow, these pieces will set the perfect mood once the sun goes down.
Reading Chairs
Give yourself the perfect spot for reading, thinking and soaking up the sun with an outdoor occasional chair. Here, you can take a load off, put your feet up and recline in blissful peace.
Laid Back Living
Curate your exterior living space as carefully as you would your interior one. From a long, comfortable sofa (made with outdoor-appropriate coverings, of course) that invites laid-back lounging, to a central table, perfect for hosting nibbles and drinks, morning coffee or casual bites, this simple set-up is the easiest way to make the most of your terrace, garden or deck.
