The furniture collection consists of two sofas along with two chairs and a [24-foot bench](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garden-bench) that has been divided into three segments to allow for the orientation to be changed up. The various pieces are designed as a permanent range of [outdoor furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aluminum-outdoor-furniture) that was constructed from white concrete to help it easily withstand the elements. The concrete furniture pieces were created in partnership with incremental3d and started off with a series of glass fiber rods along with carbon textile. This helps to give the hard, texturized furniture pieces an enhanced sense of durability.
