Take it Outside

Chic, all-weather finds furnish open-air rooms with panache

FLEX MODE Daylight, a new collection by Italian-Danish design duo GamFratesi, boasts a wide range of modular components to create customizable configurations for outdoor lounging. The pieces offer two seat depths and have a teak base with a powder-coated, stainless-steel frame clad in woven polypropylene cord. minotti.com

SHAPE OF THINGS Orchid, JANUS et Cie’s latest handwoven-seating collection, was inspired by the striking curves and angles of the Vanda variety, the national flower of Singapore. Designed by Ludovica Serafini and Roberto Palomba, the offerings incorporate weather-resistant synthetic fibers set in an aluminum frame. janusetcie.com

MOOD LIGHTING Dubbed The Others, this series of anthropomorphic, hand-woven lanterns from Dedon blurs the line between lighting and sculpture. Suspend a singular one from a tree branch to light the way, or stack multiples in a totem-like column.dedon.de

STRONG PROFILE Copenhagen-based Dögg & Arnved Studio looked to a classic Hans Wegner design for inspiration when conceiving the Fifty armchair for Ligne Roset. Made of UV-resistant rope and steel, the sculptural seat provides a comfortable and airy perch for sun-seekers. ligne-roset.com

HAUTE SEAT Iron and all-weather wicker join forces in Lulu & Georgia’s Ziggy dining chair, designed by Sarah Sherman Samuel. Its delightfully geometric silhouette will add a note of whimsy to your next outdoor affair. luluandgeorgia.com

SUNNY DELIGHT Brunschwig & Fils has teamed up with Les Ensembliers to launch L’Eternel Été, a collection of indoor-outdoor fabrics such as Le Riviera Stripe and Le Mistral (both shown). Woven from performance polyester, the classic prints embody the essence of summer in the South of France. kravet.com

FLORA FORM Designed by Moss & Lam and crafted by artisans in Italy, this terra cotta accent table is made using Tuscan clay from the quarries of Impruneta; the material is prized for its density and durability. Composed of stacks of carved-clay slabs, the table puts a contemporary spin on a traditional column. hollyhunt.com

BRIGHT BLOOM This lily-shaped light is a clever take on an old-fashioned, Tiffany-style stained-glass pendant, but rendered in materials durable enough to withstand the elements. “Petals” of refined, twisted faux-wicker in a natural or weathered-gray finish fan out from an abaca rope to illuminate outdoor spaces. madegoods.com

RETRO STYLE If you want your backyard to conjure the mid-century glamour of a Slim Aarons photograph, look no further than the Al Fresco collection from Business & Pleasure Co. Choose from colorful finishes and cushion fabrics, plus fun umbrella accessories (such as the Mimosa, shown here). businessandpleasureco.com

ALL AGLOW Featuring an alabaster shade and brass accents, the Tawa Rechargeable Table Lamp by Sean Lavin is an elegant and easily transportable way to illuminate porch or patio. When fully charged, the battery lasts from 12 to 14 hours. visualcomfort.com

YES, CHEF! Hestan’s Aspire built-in grills come with a ton of options for barbecue buffs. Built in California from heavy-duty American steel, units feature a variable infrared searing burner, dual halogen lighting and flip-to-clean ceramic briquettes.
