Borne Béton Grande
A physical manifestation of Le Corbusier’s love of concrete, this outdoor floor lamp from Nemo is a Corbu design for India’s Bhakra Dam in 1952, balancing the rigid Brutalist aesthetic with a smooth sculptural body that holds an LED board. Each piece measures 19¾" wide by 29¾" high.

Artwood
As faux-wood porcelain-tile patterns get more realistic year after year, architects have increased opportunities to install convincing replicas in wet areas such as baths and poolside. Novabell’s Artwood is one example that was developed for outdoor use. It mimics the appearance and texture of timber down to grain patterns and knots and is UV-resistant. It comes in three sizes, up to 24" by 71".

The system achieves this by introducing freestanding stainless-steel modules in several standard dimensions to accommodate everything from refrigeration to grilling.
