Having outdoor furniture plays a big role in spending time outside, enjoying the warm glaze of the sun on your skin, the fresh cool breeze and the smell of your garden and flowers.
Of course, this isn’t the only reason for having outdoor furniture, it’s needed to add an extra curb appeal to your (home) exterior. Even though being active outdoors has benefits — think gardening and exercising; it’s also lovely having somewhere to relax which encourages you to stay out in fresh air for long hours.
You may not know this but investing in good patio furniture can last up to 15+ years — by Today’s Patio.
In this article, we’ll look into the 10 best outdoor furniture designs you can add to your patio. Please note that there are more than 10, but just for the sake of this article, we’ll limit it to that amount.
1. Poliform’s Ketch Sofa Collection
Jean-Marie Massaud drew lots of inspiration from the nautical world for the Ketch collection. It’s shaped like a sail stretched between the two masts of a boat; the flexible backrest of the sofas and armchair is supported by a single and solid structure in solid iroko — which is a very resistant wood, that’s treated with hydro-oils that preserve its beauty over time.
The collection was recently launched, so there’s no price point at the moment. But here’s a link to go through the collection and other collections by Poliform
2. Landmark Collection by Molteni & C
All of Molteni & C's outdoor furniture collection celebrates life in the fresh air by creating a union between architecture and nature that exudes comfort and elegance.
The Landmark collection’s sofa pays tribute to the unprecedented design of Palinfrasca by renowned designer Luca Meda. What makes this outdoor furniture collection stand out is its curved, enveloping lines of the solid teak frame in a woven pattern.

3. Calipso by Ilaria Marelli

It comes in 3 modules — 120 x 120cm, 240 x 120cm and 180 x 120cm — each module consists of a base made with natural teak slats, in varying sizes.
