Home fashion leader and American-made upholstered furniture maker Vanguard Furniture is showing its Michael Weiss Outdoor collection this week in space 1556 at the Casual Market Chicago. The collection was introduced this spring and is the first introduction in the outdoor category for the North Carolina-based home furnishings manufacturer.
“We’re really excited to be able to bring our Michael Weiss Outdoor collection to the premier market for outdoor furnishings,” said Andy Bray, president. “Both elegant and livable, this collection creates the feeling of ‘Resort Living at Home’ and makes the Michael Weiss aesthetic available for outdoor spaces. Combining sophisticated styling with high-performance durability, these designs really blur the lines between indoor and outdoor living.”
The 50+ piece Michael Weiss Outdoor collection includes dining, seating, occasional and entertainment pieces—all distinguished by clean lines, timeless silhouettes and durable materials. The group’s nature-inspired palette features resilient materials engineered for longevity, including concrete, synthetic teak, synthetic wicker weaves, and powder-coated aluminum. High-performance, easy-care outdoor fabrics complete the look and are available in a range of shades from understated neutrals to fun, fresh hues.
The collection’s chic yet comfortable seating options include sofas, sectionals, and lounge chairs, as well as chairs with swivel, glider, and swivel-glider functionality. Several dining chair options complement the three dining table options. Entertaining has never been easier than with the fun yet functional Montecito Bar with concrete top, powder-coated metal frame and synthetic Teak paneling. And with its convertible shade, the Double Reclining Cushioned Chaise makes it easy to create a five-star resort experience at home.
