Especially as I have only ever lived in rainy cities. Seattle first and now London.
When I heard about this line I liked it... made with sustainably sourced Iroko staves (a hardwood from Africa) and laser-cut powder-coated steel end panels (12 color options).
They are even able to do bespoke! I'd love to see these made into pool-side loungers with little tables next to them to hold drinks. One in every color! Their standard range would look great in any garden or patio. You can make a statement with some funky colours or opt in for the hand polished stainless steel ends that have a mirror finish.
These pieces make me want to order a Pimms and lounge with my friends. There is some kind of warmth that these pieces give off, that if they were in my garden, I would go and sunbathe whether there was sun or not!
