GARDEN FURNITURE The development of a variety of outdoor furniture styles is exciting as allows us to evoke a certain mood, style and feel. What role do you think furniture plays in the home and garden? When choosing pieces of furniture, we look at how they lend themselves to the ergonomics of the intended purpose. Oxenwood’s furniture certainly lends itself to relaxing and socialising! The oversized tables especially, are just calling out for a lazy afternoon barbecue with lots of friends. What stands out most about Oxenwood’s creations for you? The style of the pieces has something very ‘Soho House’ about it and clients are always looking for that boutique hotel look. The AV Design team absolutely love the versatility of each piece, the earthy materials used, the architectural styling of each design and how each piece has an element of sculpture. The pieces are also very versatile and can be used in both contemporary and classic spaces to great effect. The furniture creates a real sense of place, which is always something we are looking to create in a garden. What’s your favourite Oxenwood piece and why? This is a tough one! Both the Aubrey and the Harry tables make such a statement. They instantly transport you to a glamourous destination where you can envisage yourself enjoying a sumptuous al fresco meal surrounded by people you love, with wines on ice. These are tables where memories are created. For further information, please visit www.oxenwood.co.uk or call 01264 730801 Follow us @ludmagazine www.landud.co.uk 5
