FencePost Series
Kornegay Design (a Landscape Forms company) casts these imposing planters using handcrafted molds to give them the appearance of being built from weathered fence rails, but they’re actually high-strength 6000+ PSI concrete. The resulting wood-look containers are available in 24", 30", and 42" sizes.

For hospitality settings, it can be upholstered in a special silicone-coated fabric attached to a polyester backing. The seat cushion has an inner lining made of mold- and water-resistant cotton with airtight seams.
Tolomeo Outdoor Lantern Hook
FaA commercial-grade outdoor suspension light fixture is the latest addition to the Tolomeo line from Artemide. In addition to its durable aluminum body and high-quality IP65 plastic lens, the 5¾" x 6⅓" luminaire comes outfitted with a 3000k dimmable LED capped by a diffuser and its own hook.
Meridiano
Patterns of light and shadow are a feature of this outdoor wall sconce from Vibia. When mounted, the 10½"-diameter fixture juts out 2" so that its steel rods create a luminous radial pattern on the wall. Meridiano is available with a matte lacquered finish in khaki and off-white.
Cuff Collection
This range of relaxed seating and tables is built for contract environments. Made from a powder-coated stainless-steel frame covered in high-quality woven plastic, the 45"-tall x 32"-deep high-back cove chair and 20" x 13" teak-topped side table are inspired by the shape of the chunky bracelet. Like the jewelry, all pieces in the range of tables, chairs, and chaises are designed to “accessorize” hospitality settings.

TENPLO
Landscape-furniture manufacturer Marshalls partnered with Maynard, a designer of urban wayfinding products, to create TENPLO. The cast-concrete seating system integrates lighting and Bluetooth beacons—hardware that enables retailers to wirelessly message passersby when a company’s app is detected on their tablet or smartphone. The system debuted at London’s Design Junction; Marshalls will begin taking orders later this year. Sign up at its website to receive an alert when the system is available.
These outdoor furnishings integrate function, performance, and visual interest.
