Outdoor-Ready Reworks Of Top Designs Make A Splash

Fresh from Down Under: Aussie shelter-mag stylist turned furniture maven Sarah Ellison continues her partnership with Design Within Reach (DWR), introducing outdoor-ready reworkings of existing pieces. There’s the bullnose-edge Earth cocktail and side tables, fabricated in Vietnam from sealed tinted concrete. Arch Anywhere, her bestselling rounded dining chair with column legs, comes in textured UV-resistant molded plastic in a pale-nude hue dubbed Pebble. Finally, the Muse modular sofa and Alva armchair and loveseat have been reengineered for alfresco lounging courtesy of outdoor fabric (in creamy hues the color of bleached eucalyptus tree bark) with a 600-hour UV rating and quick-dry foam filling. Unfussy and crowd-pleasing, Ellison Studios’s designs fit the contemporary moment. And if they can stand up to the harsh Australian sun, they’re a shoo-in over here.
