An Elevated Summer – Outdoor Furniture Pieces from JRF, dedece and Living Edge
With the days growing warmer, gardens and balconies become natural extensions to the interior as life spills into the outdoor realm. A curated range of outdoor furniture designs from Living Edge, dedece and James Richardson Furniture offer durable and stylish additions to any alfresco sanctuary.
Designed by Mandelli Pagliarulo for Italian contemporary furniture company Pedrali, the Tribeca 3665 Armchair is a reinterpretation of the classic 1960s patio chair. Available at James Richardson Furniture, the stackable armchair is crafted from steel and woven materials, finished in a choice of seven powder coated colours. Likewise, the similarly designed Tribeca 3668 Stool by Pedrali offers another versatile option for outdoor dining.
The Fynn Armchair from Minotti, available through dedece, proposes a sophisticated elevation. Where Scandinavian design meets Italian traditions, the Fynn Armchair combines cabinet making craftsmanship with a classic upholstering. Handmade, the signature armrest is slightly curved and smooth to the touch, celebrating refined lines and a contemporary appeal. In a similar vein is the Prelude Bench designed by Belgian architect Caroline Voet for PER/USE. Available at Living Edge, the outdoor piece is finished in teak combined with a resilient metal base, piercing any exterior space with a distinctive, timeless elegance.
Paola Lenti founded her eponymous company in 1994 in Milan, Italy. Since then, the brand has been creating pieces that are enduring, colourful and genuine. Three Paola Lenti pieces, all available through dedece, experiment with innovative material and colour combinations. Cerchi – a side table with a glass top and a base made from independent majolica elements – utilises handcrafted techniques to celebrate irregularity over consistency. Likewise, the Frame Sofa and Ami Lounge add textural character to any outdoor space.

Nothing represents summer more than the classic sunbed. The Sol+Luna Sofa Sunbed by Extremis, available from Living Edge, revels in both comfort and contemporary delight. The adaptable piece is a Living On product, as it has had its freight emissions offset, and is also available in two sleek colours – Borealis and Australis.
