Stylish outdoor living ideas at DWR
It's not too early to start thinking about your outdoor living spaces. Scandinavian design brand Muuto and its long-time partner, Norwegian design duo Anderssen & Voll, recently announced a new foray into the great outdoors with Settle – soft and sophisticated upholstered lounge seating that blurs the boundaries between indoor and outdoor. “We bring the comfort of indoors outside,” says Espen Voll from the company. “We designed a sofa and a lounge chair to spend the best times outdoors.” Torbjørn Anderssen, the other half of Anderssen & Voll, adds that upholstered garden furniture has a long history in southern Europe and South America, but also a great one characteristic of Danish mid-century modernism. Inspired by the Scandinavian masters behind some of these designs, the Settle Outdoor range includes a lounge chair, a two-seater sofa and a three-seater sofa in taupe, dark green and gray colours. In the US, the new collection is available exclusively at Design Within Reach for $2,549 to $5,059. Visit dwr.com.
