For those with modern sensibilities, shopping for patio furniture can be a frustrating process. Shops like Pottery Barn and Home Depot feature clunky, traditional pieces, while more modern outlets like Ikea and Crate and Barrel often feature poor quality which lasts only one season.
Luckily, there are beautifully designed modern outdoor furniture brands which are made with high-quality materials meant to withstand the environment. In fact, some of these brands boast heirloom quality that will last a lifetime. You just need to know where to look.

Why is Outdoor Furniture So Expensive?
This is a question I hear frequently. Especially when it comes to fine, heirloom quality outdoor furniture from brands like Barlow Tyrie, and Knoll. Well, here's the answer. Quality outdoor furniture brands take all the skill, design and care that go into creating fine furniture for inside your home, and then they engineer these pieces to withstand outdoor conditions. This means that all fabric must be weatherproof - using outdoor textiles like Sunbrella which are naturally more expensive than indoor upholstery. Frames are made from weather resistant materials like marine grade stainless steel and grade A teak which can hold up to wet weather, and storms. These pieces are made to last generations which is why the hospitality industry chooses them for their outdoor spaces where longevity is key.
Can you find less expensive outdoor furniture elsewhere? The answer is yes. But if you don't want to be re-purchasing these pieces 2-3 years down the line when they fail, opt to buy your outdoor furniture once - from a high-quality brand committed to long-lasting outdoor pieces that last.
