Hardware's Outdoor Collections Harken Back to Classic Designs and Furniture Pieces

Mulholland Collection

Vacationing in Your Backyard With Restoration Hardware

Some of Restoration Hardware's outdoor collections harken back to classic designs and furniture pieces, and have names that evoke popular tourist destinations.

The Mulholland collection, for instance, recalls 1950s Hollywood glamor with its sleek, tailored low profile, and woven straps. The Sunbrella straps are stretched over an angular solid brass frame for comfort with a very mid-century look.

The materials can withstand outdoor conditions, and over time the brass will develop a matte bronze patina. If you prefer the lustrous look, the frame can be polished to restore it.

Ibiza Collection

Here we have a reinterpretation of the bean bag chair. Named after the island of Ibiza in Spain, this collection utilizes that comfortable yet, often cheesy looking piece of furniture, and gives it a very modern, contemporary look.

The seating comes in a choice of Sunbrella or Perennials fabric that is suitable for all outdoor use, and is mildew, stain and fade resistant. There are over 50 fabric choices, and covers can be easily removed for cleaning.

The shell has a mesh bottom for drainage, so water does not collect. The chair is filled with foam and beads for a comfortable support when you sit.

Seating from the Capri Collection

Straight lines and boxy shapes that are appearing in outdoor furniture everywhere, show up in the Capri collection.

Outdoor furniture that can be used indoors as well, this collection features wide track arms, a low, deep silhouette, and tailored slipcovers in over 50 Sunbrella and Perennials fabrics.

The collection features quick-dry foam cushions that are ready to use after being drenched in rain. The covering is mildew and weather resistant, and velcro fasteners keep the slipcovers in place.

The frame is made from marine-grade plywood for durability.

Larkspur Dining Table

The Larkspur outdoor dining table is re-purposed from centuries old reclaimed solid elm doors, using them to create very modern looking tables.

The elm pieces are hand selected and sanded. The lacquer finish not only protects the grain, but also brings it out. Each table is different, carrying cracks, nicks and nail marks from its previous life. This is the beauty of reclaimed wood. Its imperfections create a strange beauty. The surface of the table can be uneven, and over time it can become more so, because of the nature of the wood.

Moroccan Sheet Lantern

Moroccan lanterns are turning up everywhere, in interior settings as well as outdoors. This candle burning lantern is based on a 19th-century Moroccan pendant, and made from weather-resistant aluminum.

The lantern can be placed on a flat surface, or suspended. The hinged door makes it easy to replace candles, and vents at the top prevent overheating. The lantern comes in four sizes, with the smallest being about 19 1/2" high, while the tallest one is 33 1/2" high.

Balinese Lantern

The Balinese Lantern uses handwoven rattan over an open framework which houses a glass hurricane lamp.

The glass hurricane protects the candle from the breeze, and can house a 3" diameter pillar candle. The rattan gives the lanterns a rich earthy feel. These lanterns are meant to be placed on a flat surface, and not intended for hanging. There is a thick handle that provides ease in carrying to your location of choice.

These lanterns come in 3 sizes ranging from 14 1/2" high to 18" high.
