European Patio Furniture Inspirations for the USA

Europe tends to be ahead of the curve when it comes to fashion and designer patio furniture. A glimpse across the Atlantic can give us a hint at what may become fashionable sometime soon in the U.S. Especially restaurants and cafes seem to constantly re-invent themselves. Attracting new crowds and keeping the existing customers interested is the goal. A new trend in restaurant outdoor patio furniture is often picked up by consumers for use on their personal patios.

Very popular are combinations of two materials, often wood and metal. We see aluminum or stainless steel with teak or faux wood. While the wood keeps the style down to earth and natural, the stainless steel look brings in the modern touch. It’s a great combo that looks fantastic.

Europe has an affinity for developing modern designs. Straight lines define a clean-cut simplistic product – exactly what this concrete outdoor dining set is about. There is no distraction here, only one material, a seamless structure, purely sleek. The difference will be where you choose to put it. On a wooden deck for example it looks absolutely stunning. This designer patio furniture is currently available at Beliani.

In Zurich, Switzerland a big trend this spring seems to be to have fur or fur-like shaggy blankets over the chairs. They are cozy and inviting despite the somewhat cool weather. The chairs underneath are your classic iron with wood slats fold-ups or resin wicker for more comfort. Space is scarce, so tables and chairs are small; mostly in bistro settings.
