Our growing selection of outdoor furniture
leans into another guiding principle—
nature’s inherently grounding effect on us,
one that contributes to a noticeable sense
of calm and well-being. We still find ourselves
most authentically in nature.
Studies* have shown that spending just twenty
minutes in nature significantly lowers the lev-
els of the stress hormone cortisol, giving new
meaning and urgency to the outdoor spaces,
be it a balcony, garden, patio, or terrace. The
outdoor space is a source of joy, respite and
self-expression, a place to enjoy in solitude
and in gathering—across the span of seasons.
