If I had my own house and if I lived somewhere where its conducive to do so, my dream is to have a backyard or a patio where I could work, relax, or hang out with family and friends. Alas, I live in a city where condominium living is the most convenient and its too hot and humid to have an outdoor setting. But that doesnt stop me from dreaming to have this someday, probably somewhere else. And of course having well-designed and beautiful outdoor furniture will be a key to this dream.Designer: Tom DixonBritish designer Tom Dixon has created their first collection of outdoor furniture called Groove. It is made up of chairs, armchairs, stools, and dining tables, all well crafted and created to make your backyard and patio look cool and comfortable. The way its designed, you can also use it indoor if you want but it is able to shine best when placed outdoors since thats how it was envisioned by the designer. The items in the collection have raised ridges as well as curved line patterns with circular and oval grooves. The furniture also has angled tubular elements so it becomes more organic. It is created with cutting-edge manufacturing techniques through collaborations with companies that focus on high-tech aluminum production. They used corrosion-resistant aluminum with powder-coated finish so they can last for a long time and can also weather elements like rain and sunshine. The sunlight also plays well with the raised ridge design so the furniture looks better outdoors. The Groove collection is available in two colors: Moss (with a greenish tint) and Putty (with its ecru-ish color). It can be used indoors as well and it comes with cushions so you would feel more comfortable. And if theyre not in use, its easy to stack since it is lightweight and portable. The design is pretty minimalist but with flair so it can fit in with most aesthetic tastes (unless you prefer brighter colors and more bold designs).
