“As the key buying destination for outdoor furnishings, Universal is excited to be a part of Casual Market,” said President Sean O’Connor. “It provides us with the opportunity to gain exposure to new potential customers.”

Universal will showcase multiple designs from its Coastal Living Outdoor collection, which includes dining and lounging furnishings in multiple weather-resistant materials such as powder coated aluminum, grade-A teak, cast concrete and all-weather wicker.

The new Saratoga Collection, introduced at spring High Point Market will be featured in the space. This modern Adirondack-inspired collection features outdoor seating, lounging, and dining furniture characterized by its angled seat back and classic wide planking. Crafted from solid teak (with a warm weathered-teak finish) and cast aluminum, accented with cast concrete details, each piece exudes a sense of rustic elegance and simplicity.

The antimicrobial foam cushions in the Coastal Living Outdoor collection can be customized with one of more than 500 fabrics, including both Sunbrella brand fabrics and InsideOut performance fabrics. And customers can opt for COM upholstery to tailor their pieces to specific preferences.

The early reaction to Hickory Chair’s Hable Outdoor collections has inspired designers to extend the aesthetic of interior living spaces into client’s outdoor living spaces. While these four collections are available as stand-alone groupings, designers have discovered their strength as they were designed to mix perfectly together. The ability to select items from the Aswan Teak, Yara Woven and Ibis Metal collections will allow designers to create personalized outdoor living spaces for their clients.

“I was given complete creative freedom to design these outdoor collections,” Hable said. “This comes from a mutual trust between our companies and an alignment of vision for the future. Being at the heart of the collection comes with several criteria that I tried to meet … classic shapes, timeless design, special and appropriate in many kinds of settings from gardens, back porches and pool sides that would appeal to the talented designers across the industry that look to Hickory Chair for inspiration. The reaction has been wonderful, and seeing images from their installations has been truly inspirational for me!”

The Haret and Ibis collections were crafted in metal, Aswan in teak and Yara in a synthetic weave with teak feet. They showcase not only the distinctiveness of the materials, but also the talent of the craftspeople that have handcrafted each piece. Distinctive finishes were created for each collection. The company will support this new category and collection with a robust assortment of Hickory Chair outdoor fabrics and a collaboration with Sunbrella with its Trivantage Fusion fabric program.

The term Haret can be translated as the cabin at the heart of the forest, the caretaker and the center of things. This term is the perfect name for the largest of the Hable outdoor collections. Hand cast in aluminum and then powder coated in a choice of two
finishes, the lyrical lines of the product are contrasted by a unique fretwork pattern that creates a charming pattern on the
seat and back of seating pieces and the tops of the tables. The fret motif was designed exclusively for this collection.

The gentle scallop of the top rail was intended to provide a beautiful swaying motion to the back of the chair that follows the arc of the arms and the saber legs of the Haret collection. The series was thoughtfully designed to be elegant and beautiful even when its cushions are stored. Finished in Cloud White or Smoke Gray, its subtly silky surface is the finishing touch that seals its grace. The company also offers custom finishes on these two metal collections.

The Ibis collection is named for an Egyptian bird with a distinctive long curved beak that has been idolized from ancient times. Inspired from Susan’s travels to Egypt by hieroglyphics depicting birds with its long lines and beaks, the Ibis bird was revered for its dramatic features and its non-confrontational demeanor. Known as a symbol of integrity and balance, the Ibis collection reflects these attributes.

The Ibis collection’s graceful forms blend beautifully into nature. Crafted in metal, the Ibis collection is standard in an antiqued Verdigris finish. At Casual Market, a second finish, Cloud White, will be introduced for the Ibis collection.

The southern Egyptian city of Aswan is an ancient city located along the Nile River. It is arid, exotic and is considered the “Egyptian Paradise.” Known as one of the sunniest places on Earth, it is the inspiration for the new Aswan collection. Solid teak was chosen as its
textural Driftwood finish is reminiscent of the arid desert and the sound icons left from antiquity.

“Outdoor teak furniture will naturally develop a gray tone, and the grain will become more open over time,” Hable said. “I wanted to develop a finish that would already have this coloration and texture to enjoy. Each Aswan teak piece will naturally age like the standing statues and obelisks that have stood the test of time.”

Susan’s intention for the Yara Woven collection was to design a woven pattern that would be completely sculpted by weaving a beautiful woven pattern with recycled synthetic cane on each piece by hand. Artisans start the process with one corner of the powder-coated aluminum frame and weave the cane like a basket until the end is tied off.

“The Graystone color of the synthetic woven material was inspired by my travel to Sea Ranch, California, where homes and buildings are designed to melt into the landscape,” she said. “Thoughtfully designed, the feet on the Yara sofa and loveseat are made from teak finished in the Aswan Teak finish.

“Warmth and a light breeze are some of my favorite things as a new season begins,” she added. “It is new growth, warm sunshine, and first light walks to survey new buds, leaves and even weeds that bring joy to my heart and purpose as I touch my paintbrush to canvas. It is not by chance that the lines of our unique outdoor designs mirror the natural world. Each collection has elements that reflect the pleasure in outdoor living. I believe that people will naturally linger longer in our thoughtfully designed furniture.”

Our employees are focused on making the finest indoor and now outdoor furnishings in the marketplace for our loyal clientele and their clients,” said Laura Holland, vice president of marketing at Hickory Chair. “Expanding into the outdoor category is a natural progression for our company. We believe that we have once again revealed the incredible talent, collaboration and vision our Hickory Chair family has not only for today, but the future.”

“The introduction of Pasadena represents a paradigm shift in outdoor design, integrating indoor elegance with outdoor resilience,” said Anderson Gibbons, chief marketing officer of Revolution Fabrics. “This collection is a testament to Revolution Fabrics’ commitment to blend style with functionality, offering designers and furniture manufacturers new avenues to enhance outdoor spaces.”

The collection features an array of 16 patterns across 45 SKUs. Engineered to meet contract-grade standards, the fabrics in the collection boast impressive double rub counts ranging from 30,000 to over 100,000. Supported by a 5-year warranty against loss of strength, color, abrasion, and pilling, these fabrics are a testament to lasting quality.

The color stories within Pasadena speak the language of nature and elegance. From the soothing “spa”-inspired hues to the boldness of vibrant navy contrasts, and the sleek modernity of contemporary neutrals, these palettes seamlessly transition from outdoor to indoor spaces, offering versatile design options for any aesthetic. A standout pattern within the collection, Pamlico Bay, displays each color
narrative within its weave, illustrating the collection’s versatility. Available in Charcoal, Sand, and Navy, this pattern is a visual representation of the collection’s ethos – bringing the refinement of interior design to the outdoors.

Reflecting Revolution Fabrics’ dedication to sustainability, the Pasadena Collection is proudly made in the USA from upcycled materials. These eco-conscious fabrics showcase superior fade resistance and bleach cleanability, while embodying the company’s commitment to ecological responsibility. With the esteemed Greenguard Certification, each piece in the collection masterfully balances environmental mindfulness with aesthetic appeal.

Entirely made in Italy, the new collection encompasses modern upholstered silhouettes and occasional tables designed to further blur the lines between indoor and outdoor furnishings. Covered in Italian performance fabrics that make for care-free living indoors, as well as out, the new collection—exclusive to Bellini in North and South America—is particularly appropriate for family rooms, California rooms and other lounge and sitting spaces that connect to covered patios, lanais, and backyards.

“More and more people are gravitating toward spaces that embrace the outdoors, but with all the comforts associated with being indoors,” said Hossein Azimi, chief executive officer of Bellini Modern Living. “Particularly in California, Texas and Florida, the trend in new home building is to include spaces that open directly to the outdoors. Often, these interior spaces incorporate glass walls, and making it work visually requires moving beyond the ubiquitous faux wicker and plastic outdoor furniture sold in the big box stores, to more residential interior looks, with unique and comfortable upholstered pieces in fabrics that appear as though they shouldn’t be left to the elements.”

Indeed, according to the executive, the new collection incorporates high-grade performance fabrics, including textures, like boucle, that are rarely associated with outdoor living. Underneath, the sofas are constructed with foam encased with polyester nylon—making them impervious to water.

“Water simply won’t penetrate the foam, so even after a hard rain, you don’t have to wait long to go back outside and enjoy sitting on the furniture,” Azimi said.

In line with Bellini Modern Living’s aesthetic, the collection has a luxurious, modern feel, and is aggressively priced with suggested retails ranging from $1,600 to $2,599 for a sofa, and $499 to $599 for a chair. The collection is available in a variety of fabrics, colors, and configurations.  It is in stock and available for immediate delivery.

The new ICFA premarket programming complements current summer Casual Market Atlanta offerings: 165+ combined casual furniture and outdoor accessories permanent showrooms and temporary exhibits presented on seven floors in Building 1 at AmericasMart Atlanta, along with hallmark at-market education and networking.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — HEB Grocery Co. has recalled about 1,400 lounge chairs whose back and legs can break when a consumer is seated, posing a fall hazard.

Made by UD Surya Abadi Furniture of Indonesia, they were imported and distributed by HEB Grocery Co. of San Antonio. They were sold in H‑E‑B stores in Texas and online at www.heb.com from April 2022 through April 2023 for about $300.
