In Focus: Living Edge

In Partnership with Living Edge

Much like the varied nature of our climate, Living Edge’s outdoor furniture offerings are as diverse as they are aesthetically beautiful.

Australian culture is profoundly shaped by its outdoor lifestyle. Our shared experiences of relaxing on cushioned chairs, enjoying barbecues and gathering around firepits have become an integral part of our identity. Understanding the importance of this bond with nature, Living Edge offers a large range of outdoor furniture brands, including Magis, RODA and Extremis. Living Edge also knows that choosing the right style of furniture based on personal taste and the specific needs of a space is essential, and prides itself on curating a range of brands perfect for creating an alfresco retreat.
