SCANDINAVIAN SUMMER Swedish maker Skargaarden has debuted Laknäs, a collection of outdoor dining furniture crafted of sturdy teak in clean, simple style. The line is aptly named for a lakeside village in Sweden that hosts a Midsummer celebration each year. skargaarden.com
LUXE LOUNGE The late Danish architect and designer Alfred Homann collaborated with Carl Hansen & Søn on the AH Outdoor Series shortly before his death in 2022. Made of FSC-certified teak, the collection’s dining and lounge furniture reflect Homann’s aesthetic with soft lines and a minimalist hand. carlhansen.com
SITTING PRETTY The Gehry Left Twist Cube was originally conceived for Heller in 2004 by modernist architect Frank Gehry, whose design played off the undulating forms of his buildings. Made of weatherproof polyethelene, the colorful pieces can serve as stools, tables or ottomans. hellerinc.com
PURE GEOMETRY JANUS et Cie has reimagined its powder-coated aluminum Matisse collection with furnishings in premium, sustainably sourced teak. Matisse Teak includes chairs, sofas, a chaise and occasional tables, all defined by clean, geometric lines. A new Bethesda location is expected to open in fall 2023, replacing the brand’s recently closed Georgetown showroom. janusetcie.com
