As we are now coming into the summer months, outdoor furniture is a major focus for those of us living in southern Europe and spending so much of our time enjoying life outside – whether it is socializing with friends and family or simply relaxing on our own enjoying the fantastic weather in this part of the world. Comfort and style are paramount and, with this year’s exciting new collections to whet our taste buds, we are spoilt for choice. Many of the Coast’s designer showrooms are offering the latest collections that some of the world’s most talented designers have created for us.
“I have always felt attracted by the patterns of light and shadows filtering through Mediterranean shutters, as well as by the work of certain architects from the Far East who work with wooden slats and bamboo cane. DNA is an outdoor furniture collection that reinterprets the essence of these horizontal shapes.” José A. Gandia-Blasco
