Striking a balance between comfort and durability can be a difficult task for designers, especially when considering [outdoor furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orbit-outdoor-furniture). Anything too elegant will be ruined by the elements, but a drab-looking [poolside couch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cdm30) can drastically alter one's backyard environment. The PAL collection combines a wooden frame with [upholstered cushions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calma-lounge) and woven side panels that'll serve as a respectful addition to any yard. The chairs are simple and elegant, ensuring a comfortable backyard experience for you and your guests. The loungers balance delicately on the wooden panels, providing a unique visual while ensuring the fabric never touches the floor. The collection is comprised of side tables, love seats and chairs. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Elegant Outdoor Furniture:** Designers can explore innovative materials and styles to create outdoor furniture that is both elegant and durable for all weather conditions. - **Contemporary Lounge Feel:** There is an opportunity for designers to create furniture with a contemporary lounge feel, striking a balance between comfort and style. - **Unique Visual Elements:** Designers can incorporate unique visual elements into furniture, such as floating or elevated designs, to create a visually appealing outdoor environment. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Furniture manufacturers can explore new materials and design approaches to create elegant and durable outdoor furniture collections. - **Hospitality and Resort Industry:** Hotels and resorts can enhance their poolside lounging experience by investing in contemporary and visually appealing outdoor furniture designs. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can extend their expertise to outdoor spaces by incorporating elegant and comfortable furniture with a contemporary lounge feel. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hammock-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/palmera.md) - [Comtemporary Lounge Collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eclipse-series.md) - [Luxurious Outdoor Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxurious-outdoor-furniture1.md) - [Durable Designer Furniture Pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/r24-collection.md) - [Modern Cushioned Outdoor Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pod-outdoor-seating.md) - [Durable Designer Furniture Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gandiablasco-mass-collection.md) - [Contemporary Outdoor Furniture Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-outdoor-furniture.md) - [Ultra-Modern Outdoor Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outdoor-furniture-collections.md) - [Surf-Inspired Outdoor Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laun-x-chet-architecture-mondos.md)
