We went into Restoration Hardware the other day to look at their new outdoor furniture for a client. Their new all weather Wicker Roll Back Collection had us intrigued, yet slightly unsure. The plasticated material is surely great for all weather conditions, but we like our wicker real. Perhaps it’s due to growing up with a sun porch filled with white whicker furniture that got dragged outside each spring for a hose down or spray paint touch-up.

At least the slicker Track Arm Seating has a modern look that allows the “wicker” to feel more suitable to the style.

However it was the Antibes Lounge Seating that got us smiling. The chaise lounges with the multitude of cushion colors gave us a thrill. Sleek, streamlined and sexy outdoor living.
