Arc En Ciel, or “rainbow” in French, is a small-space solution inspired by the chairs and tables that have filled Parisian parks and cafés since the 19th century.
Inspired by 1930s-era furniture they came across on a visit to Timberline Lodge in Oregon, Studio Tolvanen gave the Terassi Dining Table (2017) a spaced-plank tabletop for excellent outdoor performance and round tapered legs for a leaner profile and rustic yet crafted appearance.
Jesús Gasca is the principal designer at Stua, a furniture company that he founded in 1983 in San Sebastián, Spain. With his company’s name standing for solo tengo un amor – “I have only one love” – it’s Gasca’s mission to improve the habitat in which we live.
Tuuci Ocean Master Rectangular Shade (2012) features a horizontal shade canopy design to accommodate long dining tables. Designer Dougan Clarke, a skilled sailor who is well-versed in sails, rigging, and boat design, knows what will stand up to the elements.
”A product has to be useful and realistic to be considered as good design,” says Martin Solem. With this in mind, he designed the Bell Lantern (2018), a versatile nod to the traditional lantern.
For the Sommer Outdoor Collection (2019), Copenhagen-based designer Chris Halstrøm wanted to give people the experience of indoor furniture in outdoor spaces.
Named for deities of the heavens, Indra (2018) is a lightweight flat-weave fringed rug fashioned from polyester yarns with a soft feel. It’s dyed with a special technique that produces a striking heather effect. Obeetee employs artisans who use skills passed down from one generation to the next.
Growing up in a resourceful do-it-yourself family, John Paul Plauché learned how to design and create objects at an early age. His handcrafted Geometric Fire Pit (2004) is made of premium Corten steel and can be used with seasoned wood or charcoal.
Waterproof, fade-resistant, and maintenance-free, the Lollygagger Chaise (2014) is made for laid-back living. This comfortable outdoor chaise adjusts to six angles of recline.
In the 1990s, Danish designer Niels Hvass became a leader in the Nordic design scene by creating furniture that earned him awards and recognitions from Bo Bedre, Georg Jensen and The Design Foundation.
For the Danish design company HAY, brothers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec created the Palissade Collection (2015). Designed in color and form to integrate effortlessly with its surroundings, this collection stands out for its combination of visual simplicity and core strength.
When we asked Matthew Hilton to identify the common elements found in his work, he replied, “Functional, stackable, it has to store easily and be a good price.” Fast-forward to today, and he’s still staying true to those ideals.
Naoto Fukasawa’s approach to design is based on careful observation of people’s actions and feelings, which enables him to create products that fit into people’s lives so naturally that they’re “Without Thought,” a concept he teaches at two universities and to clients worldwide.
Sol y Luna (1954) is an adaptation of Dan Johnson's Gazelle Collection, which was originally offered in wood or bronze, both with woven caning for the seat and back.
