The sun is out, and with it comes our desire to lounge, linger, and live outdoors. Parties en plein air are quick to be scheduled, and Janus et Cie’s outdoor furniture collections and colorful textiles provide the perfect setting for hosting.
From bright patterned fabrics to teak umbrellas and modern accessories, the offerings are visually appealing and sophisticated. The execution makes them versatile, too—the pieces are as suitable for a coastal cottage as they are for a sleek L.A. beach house. Take a look through these dazzling scenes, and allow our favorite picks to energize your next summer soiree.
For Casual Catch-Ups
When evening falls and it’s time for happy hour, you’ll want a mellow spot to relax and chat with your nearest and dearest. The geometric Matisse Club Chairs are the perfect size for a friendly tête-à-tête. Place your favorite flowers in the Monsoon Ixora Vase to make your patio feel at home.
For Alfresco Lunches
Relaxed, drawn-out meals are among the biggest perks of summer, and the Koko II Stackable Padded Sling Armchairs and Side Chairs provide comfortable modern seating that gives guests permission to sit and linger for a while. The Duo Round Dining Table is the perfect place to sneak some shade under one of Janus et Cie’s colorful Teak Umbrellas.
For Post-Lawn Games
Host a spirited lawn-tennis match, then repose in Janus et Cie’s Duo Mesh Chaise Lounge Chairs, with their deeper seats and curved armrests, or spacious Duo Daybed. Rest your sparkling water (or Champagne) on the matte white Drum Side Table, a pleasingly simple accent piece that brings to mind a museum sculpture.
For Solo Champagne Dates
While away the hours in the breezy Duo Cabana, easily adjustable for each guest thanks to six backrest positions and four adjustable shades (one on each side) for privacy. The cushions pictured are upholstered in colorful, striped Bandeau Papaya fabric with pillows in the playful Overland Peacock textile for a lounging at-a-resort feel. The fun and functional Bon Vivant Pouf serves as a dreamy replacement for a traditional perch alongside the more geometric Facet Side Table.
