Embracing natural materiality, clean lines and seamless transitional space, MCM House offers a statement interpretation of modern Australian living. The furniture of the New Modern campaign indicates a distinctive sensibility that sees both the indoor and outdoor environment elevated.

Inspired by the iconic Australian architecture of the modernist era, New Modern furniture explores the contemporary applications of minimalist design. In the outdoor range, Outdoor Rowe Sofa showcases the harmonious balance between a low, boxy profile created by a black aluminium frame and the rounded addition of a bolster cushion, positioned for back support. With seating comprised of quick-dry foam and a UPF rating of 50+, the sofa effortlessly endures the impact of the external elements.

Building upon the vision for New Modern outdoors, Centro Coffee Table features a tabletop comprised of High-Pressure Laminate, establishing a durable piece that is resistant to scratches, impact, stains, abrasion, water and heat. Embodying formal simplicity, the table has equal relevance within an indoor and outdoor design scheme, complementing surrounding furniture. In addition, MCM House offers Outdoor Banga Rectangular Dining Table and Outdoor Delphi Dining Chair. Outdoor Banga Rectangular Dining Table champions an organic presentation with either a natural teak or black aluminium top supported by a four-legged, PRE rattan base. Conversely, Outdoor Delphi Dining Chair captures the interplay of a powder-coated aluminium frame and an open weave of PE wicker, establishing a rectilinear structure for the seat and back.

In response to the internal environment, MCM House celebrates the flexible nature of modern design. Whilst the Elio Modular sofa is a composition of upholstered pieces available in a range of sizes, Elio Junior Modular is a smaller iteration that lends itself to more compact spaces. Indulging the customer with deep seat cushions, both sofas offer maximum comfort alongside the opportunity for aesthetic variation. Similarly, Jean Modular fosters a luxury living experience with plump cushions, square upholstered arms and additional feather scatter cushions. Infusing a contemporary form with classic character, Global Oak Dining Table is an angular piece made from either reclaimed elm timber or natural oak. In signature MCM House fashion, the timber is hand-finished in order to enhance the visual softness of the material and develop its sense of character.
