The Best Garden Furniture For Your Terrace

The charming Scandinavian summer is up and coming and now is probably the best time to refurbish the patio or terrace with new pieces of outdoor furnishings (fritidsmöbler). Let's review a couple of Nordic companies that specialize in garden furniture (balkongmöbler). Harbo is one of Scandinavia's largest producers of outdoor furnishings (balkongmöbler) and has a creative line of offerings, including the Miami teak furniture series.

Outdoor furniture is usually made of teak wood because teak prolongs the life of furniture as it guards the timber form external environmental hazards. This is due to the fact that teak wood becomes saturated in its own oils as the tree matures so it can withstand outdoor conditions for long periods without the wood being extremely disturbed.

Making cool garden furniture (fritidsmöbler) for over 60 years, KWA from Knared has always been committed to its craft. Take the opportunity to view the Belmondo, a stunning garden chair series that blends teak and aluminum. The Belmondo will accent any backyard garden patio or a condo terrace. KWA's furniture making experience is also evident in the modern yet comfortable Jessica, a unique garden couch constructed of eucalyptus timber. Ideal for entertaining with friends or just relaxing on the terrace.

Danish company Fast Design sells a unique line of Italian outdoor furniture and we looked intimately at their Forest series. The Forest product line breaks the barrier between art and design without giving up comfort and quality. The Forest series consists of an armchair, a lounge chair, and a dinner table in several designs. The designers behind the Forest series, Robby and Francesca Cantarutti, have succeeded in creating artistic and aesthetic furnishings like the Forest chair, which routinely reminds you of a ghostly tale in the woods with its hollow decor (no wonder it is so aptly named Forest).

If you would prefer rattan furniture (rotting möbler), the Alabama range might be something for you with its black weather-resistant rattan, which is also UV resistant. This can be useful with the longer days and the extended hours of sunshine in the summer. While we are discussing rattan furniture (utemöbler rotting) we should mention Laholm-based Mellby Garden. Their creations in synthetic rattan (konstrotting) are truly a delight to the eye. It's important also to know the major difference between synthetic (konstrotting) and regular rattan. Synthetic rattans (konstrotting) can withstand the weather very well, while traditional rattan should not be exposed to rain and thrive best in atriums that have some form of roofing.

If you prefer a more upscale series of outdoor furnishings, why not check out the Mellby Gardens Limited Collection. This exclusive garden furniture series is being offered as Limited Edition, but their fantastic pieces are truly worth the look.

Summer is fast approaching, and it's time to freshen up your terrace or patio with a few new pieces of outdoor furniture (balkongmöbler). Garden furniture (trädgårdsmöbel) is available in all sorts of materials, with woods like teak becoming very popular. Rattan furniture (utemöbler rotting) is also very popular outdoors, since it is usually coated with a UV-resistant and weather-resistant coating. Synthetic rattan, however, can better withstand the elements than real rattan. A variety of companies offer premium furniture (utomhusmöbler) for outdoor living including Knared, Harbo, and Mellby Garden. Try the Mellby Gardens Limited Collection for a luxurious treat this summer.
