Laze Outdoor Chair
Room & Board teamed up with Duluth, Minnesota–based outdoor furniture-maker Loll Designs on this mid-20th-century- inspired lounge, which evokes the lazy patio days of that era in durable 21st-century materials. Laze Outdoor Chair is built from 100% recycled high-density polyethylene, and weather-resistant Sunbrella fabric. It measures 33" wide x 31" deep x 28" high and comes in nine frame colors and two textile hues.

Solar Charging Kit
Ideal for campuses as well as for hospitality and public venues, Legrand’s Solar Charging Kit is designed to easily transform a blank 4"-diameter light pole (minus the fixture) into a sustainable, solar-powered hub.

Quadra Seating System
Forms+Surfaces developed a group of versatile modules for use outdoors. Like building blocks cast in Ultra High- Performance Concrete (UHPC), the Quadra Seating System can be used as seating, tables, or planters depending on orientation and type of lining: FSC recycled reclaimed teak, powder-coated aluminum, molded polyethylene, or UHPC. The cubes have a powder-coated cast-aluminum base, and can be arranged to suit any program.

Premium Ping-Pong Table
Union Wood is elevating the Ping-Pong table with a version that easily transforms into a conference table. Ideal for space-constrained offices and amenity spaces, the table comes in large (60" x 108" x 30" high) or small size (45" x 81" x 30" high), with a solid hardwood or laminate top and a steel base in three styles. Integrated lighting, power, data modules, and wire-management are optional.

Sommer Collection
What appears to be the woven paper-cord used on classic Danish furniture is a high-performance water-resistant synthetic resin rope developed for outdoor use. Part of the Sommer Collection by Copenhagen-based designer Chris Halstrøm, the seating is said to be among the first pieces to feature this innovative textile. The full line of aluminum seating and tables comes with a black or white powder-coated finish and optional weatherproof cushions.

A black-anodized tubular understructure adds strength and integrated wire management to Thea, a clean, minimalist worktable designed by Roberto Lucci for Versteel. The 30"-high desk can be specified with a round, square, or rectangular top in materials such as veneer, laminate, or solid surfacing. Elliptical legs—available in powder-coated nickel or chrome—wrap over circular caps with optional USB ports for convenient charging.
