5 Brands Upping The Ante On Outdoor Living

Up the ante on outdoor living with new and innovative finds that deliver on comfort and style.

Tuuci

Did you hear? Tuuci, the Miami-based manufacturer known for ultra-posh umbrellas and pergolas, has debuted outdoor furniture. The Sail Collection (pictured), which lives up to its name with a spinnaker weave upholstery treatment, is one of four new lines created by founder, CEO and designer Dougan Clarke.

Palacek

Behold Jeffrey Alan Marks’ Asilomar Outdoor Wall Pendant for Palecek. Lighting is one of the brand’s fastest-growing categories, and this unique piece boasts a special non-toxic, recyclable synthetic wicker that won’t fade or split—standing up to the elements and the test of time.

Gloster

Not all umbrellas are created equal. Dreamed up by Henrik Pedersen for Gloster, the Ambient Sol features a chic, all-weather wicker canopy with a built- in LED light that provides a warm glow as the sun goes down, making this shade accessory a double-duty workhorse.

Thibaut

Adding to its colorful trove of fabrics and wallpapers, Thibaut has launched outdoor-friendly rugs for all manner of alfresco living. The preppy New England-inspired striped designs (below) are named after Newport and Nantucket, respectively, while other styles are ideal for mountain or city living.

Tom Dixon

Tom Dixon is taking his industrial design sensibility outside—a first for the company—with the Groove collection. The curvy and coiled aluminum silhouettes embody an Art Deco flair across chairs, tables and stools in shades Putty (pictured) and Moss.
