The appeal of outdoor spaces goes beyond a desire to be out in the fresh air. It’s also about taking the time for friends, family and reflection. Outside, everything seems better: parties are more entertaining, lunches are more convivial, reading is more enjoyable—even grooming the dog is fun. The Motif Designs Outdoor Living Collection is crafted from the highest quality materials and designed to endure: Teak: Environmentally-friendly, endures the elements and ages gracefully. Wicker: A genteel classic, 100% natural versions for sunroom or porch, and an all-weather wicker for outdoors. Cast Aluminum: Solid and heavyweight with a permanent baked-on finish to last a lifetime. Cushions: Motif’s high-quality cushions means your outdoor seating will be long lasting as well as super-comfortable. A couple of winters ago, I never brought my outdoor cushions in, so they sat outside for 18 solid months. Happily, they look just as good as the day I got them. Why? As well as being covered in Motif’s Al Fresco line of Sunbrella fabrics, the inserts are made of “quick dry”, the seams are Teflon coated, and small weep holes are located near the zipper. So, kick back and enjoy the warm weather! A note to our friends, Motif Designs does not recommend: Wrought Iron: Heavy, so good for windy areas, but rusts and needs regular refinishing. Blown Aluminum: Inexpensive and very lightweight, the arms and legs are hollow, so they can blow into doors and shatter windows. Click here to download our 2009 Outdoor Living Catalogue.
