OUTDOOR FURNITURE
The Torino range makes
for a comfortable and
relaxing lounge area.
THE SOLUTION
Philip Jensen, export and marketing manager
at Teak & Mahogany
This home is occupied by a young executive couple with
challenging and stressful jobs in the city. Because of this,
their weekend downtime is valuable and they prefer to spend
time relaxing at home. They enjoy gardening, and have built a
green wall with small trees in planters along the deck facing
the street. This gives them some privacy in their garden.
They enjoy gourmet cooking and often have friends over
to try new recipes. The Firenze dining table with a bench on
one side, combined with Firenze dining chairs on the other,
gives a relaxing casual dining experience.
The extended entertainment area is the Torino Modular
collection in an L-shape, with two lounge chairs and a large
coffee table on which you can serve food and drinks. It’s a
very comfortable and relaxing corner where you can unwind
after work or on the weekends.
All the materials and fabrics are made for the outdoors
and stand up well to Singapore’s hot, humid, wet climate. The
lounge set fabrics are Sunbrella, so they’re mould-, mildew-
and fade-resistant, and machine washable – no worries if food
or wine is spilled on them, as they’re easily cleaned.
Surrounding the area are torches burning citronella oil, an
added mosquito deterrent. The torches have fibreglass wicks,
so there’s no need to change them: they don’t burn down
like cotton wicks. Using hurricane lamps with candles on the
tables can add to the ambience.
The Firenze table is 1 x 2 metres,
and can easily accommodate six
to eight people.
