Luxembourg benches have decorated the famous Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris for a hundred years.

The French classic to your home garden

Fermob's Luxembourg collection is an outdoor furniture classic that you may have met before: the garden furniture was originally designed for the famous Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris and it has adorned the park since 1923. In 2004, Fermob asked designer Frédéric Sofia to create his own modern interpretation of the legendary outdoor furniture – the result is an elegant and endlessly versatile range of aluminum furniture that bears the name inspired by its original destination.

This spring, the iconic terrace furniture has been enhanced with fresh, delicious colors. Choose earthy, greenish cactus for your patio, or spice up your garden with a real splash of color, like bright red orche.

Crate Low table and Crate lounge chair
The Crate lounge chair matches perfectly with HAY's pine Crate Low table, but also steals the show as a companion to other patio furniture – or even on its own!

From shipping crates to the patio

The Crate chair is part of HAY’s series of wooden outdoor furniture. If anything, the Crate collection is truly made for gardens and terraces – the wood has been dried to a humidity specifically for outdoor use, which enables it to withstand varying weather conditions and therefore is not recommended for indoor use at all to avoid the risk of wood shrinkage. So you can be pretty sure that even the wettest summer won't scare this chair!

The Crate lounge chair is based on the chair designed originally by Dutch architect and designer Gerrit Thomas Rietveld in 1934. At that time, the chair was made from leftover wooden shipping crates, but the Rietveld Originals' and HAY's reinterpretation uses lacquered pine as the material. The chair's deep seat and tilted backrest ensure not only a stylish appearance but also ultimate seating comfort, which can be improved even more with plush seat cushions that are sold separately.

AJ bollard lights in the woods
The AJ bollard light by Louis Poulsen infuses your backyard or garden with the exquisite elegance of Danish design.

A touch of Danish design

The modern, minimalist design of Louis Poulsen's AJ Garden bollard lamp may look surprisingly familiar – and no wonder, as the luminaire resembles Arne Jacobsen's iconic AJ floor lamp! Designed for outdoor use and varying weather conditions, this bollard light will bring soft, pleasant, and glare-free light to your garden and yard.

The standing garden lamp is available in a variety of options for installation. The version equipped with a spike unit and an adapter is easy to install by yourself: simply push the spike into the soil and let the enclosed cables run over the ground. Please note that the lamps equipped with an anchor unit or a base plate should only be installed by a qualified electrician.

The AJ Garden looks beautiful on its own but you can also link several lamps together to illuminate your driveway or garden path, for example. The adapter can run up to 6 bollards, so if you wish to link 6 lamps, purchase a single lamp with an adaptor and 5 without one.

Selva poster by Paper Collective
The Selva poster brings the atmosphere of the tropical jungle right into your home.

Welcome to the jungle

If you're not the biggest green thumb in the yard, bring the garden inside the house! The Selva poster by Mexican artist Berenice Hernandez draws inspiration from the dense, green jungles of Central America. The poster portrays a single monstera leaf with black, orange, and golden details evoking a feel of the shaded light of the jungle.

Paper Collective's prints have been decorating homes since 2013. All posters are printed in limited editions and part of each sold poster will be donated to a good cause. The artists include renowned illustrators, graphic designers, and photographers across the world, whose work is well-suited for contemporary décor.
