Your all-weather companion

Fatboy’s Fred’s chair offers a modern take on the classic bar stool, designed especially for the outdoors. With its gently curved seat for added comfort and a clever drainage hole to let rainwater run off, the chair is a reliable companion even on those unpredictable summer downpours.

And did you know? The Fred furniture is built to brave the elements year-round, even in freezing temperatures. Thanks to its durable, powder-coated aluminum frame, the furniture is tough enough to withstand the cold yet light enough to move around with ease.

The Bliss collection brings Scandinavian simplicity to any garden, balcony or patio.

Scandinavian simplicity

The clean, Scandinavian look of Cane-line’s Bliss outdoor furniture collection is a delight for those who favor minimalist garden style, though the tables and the chairs effortlessly complement more lush, decorative outdoor spaces as well. Designed by Danish studio Foersom & Hiort-Lorenzen, the series is made from high-quality, powder-coated aluminum that stands up to changing weather conditions year after year.

Muuto’s Linear Steel bench is characterized by a fine balance between straight lines and rounded legs along with folded edges.

Built to last

Designed by Thomas Bentzen for Muuto, the Linear Steel bench brings graceful simplicity to outdoor spaces. Its gently curved legs and subtly sloped seat offer both comfort and style, while durable, weatherproof steel ensures the bench is ready for sun, rain, and everything in between. With its calm matte tones and timeless silhouette, the Linear Steel collection is made to elevate everyday moments, season after season.

The Rita chair remains a timeless favorite for outdoor dining and lounging year after year.

An outdoor classic

The Rita Exterior dining chair by Sika-Design is an outdoor version of the iconic rattan chair designed by Nanna Ditzel in 1965. The garden chair is built to withstand year-round outdoor use as it is hand-woven from durable Alu-Rattan and synthetic ArtFibre. Fans of rattan’s natural charm need not worry: the lightweight, long-lasting materials faithfully replicate the organic look and feel of the original.

Made from quartzite, the Epic Outdoor table is built to withstand the weather from scorching sun to heavy rain.

Sculptural elegance

GUBI’s Epic Outdoor table brings design duo GamFratesi’s modern interpretation of classical architecture to the outdoors. The sculptural dining table features a seemingly simple composition of two geometric forms: the hexagon and the circle. The minimalist yet monumental design nods to ancient architecture, evoking images of Greek columns and timeless stone structures. The Epic table is a guaranteed statement piece that transforms any garden or patio into a setting where everyday moments feel truly elevated.
