Now summer’s here, it’s time to say goodbye to lounging inside. From luxe to less, from wood to metal, here’s the outdoor furniture pieces to keep an eye on this summer.
The Jardin Room: thejardinroom.com.au In Oatlands you’ll find The Jardin Room & Provincial Interiors, one of Tasmania’s standout antique and interior stores. Their carefully curated selection of antique French and European garden furniture will bring the culture in any garden, sure to impress guests. You can wander the grounds, checking out the luxe timber, stone and iron furniture. The Provence and Arras sets are particularly beautiful.
Flock: rjliving.com.au Made from white concrete, this sculptural dining set from RJ Living shines in the sun. With rippled legs and a pill-shaped top, the collection includes a table, bench, and side table, perfect for those long summer afternoons filled with food, drinks, and good company. Its unique design makes for standout pieces for modern homes.
Torakina: au.koala.com Koala, the online Australian furniture brand known for its stylish and inexpensive designs, recently released its Torakina outdoor range. With its pastel hues straight out of a Wes Anderson film and durable steel construction, these pieces will have your outdoor area looking like an artisan café. From single dining seats and tables to full dining and lounge sets, the Torakina range has everything you need to create the perfect outdoor oasis.
Segerön: ikea.com Pinching pennies but still want to lounge? It’s IKEA time, and from the beloved Swedish furniture giant, our top pick is the Segerön sun lounger, a beautiful combination of textural rope and powder-coated steel frame. The very light beige cover is water repellent and washable.
Canadell: au.kavehome.com Looking for something eco-friendly? Think beachside takeaway, with those wooden tables and benches where you can sit and enjoy your chips while seagulls beg for a bite. The Canadell range from Kave Home fits that prompt. Made from recycled wood, the natural materials give each piece its own unique character, with their own tones and textures.
