“This furniture creates a look that is contemporary yet classic,” says Richard Frinier, a
creative spirit of the casual furniture industry for the past three decades. “It illustrates the
authentic style, design, and memorable experiences associated with the world’s most
beloved cities. It is as at home in a living room as it is on a roof deck.”
Metropolitan will debut at the International Casual Furniture &
Accessories Market in Chicago, Illinois, September 15-18, 2008.
The collection features bold, clean architectural lines crafted in plantation grown
and marine-grade finished teak. It is accented with fully upholstered
panels and striking nickel-plated details. In addition to the upholstered seating
components, it features tables also crafted from plantation-grown teak.
Here are a few highlights from the collection:
• Hand- and machine-crafted weather-resistant teak frames
made of wood harvested from renewable plantation forests.
• Superior craftsmanship in detailing includes marine-grade
finished teak frames, plush upholstery, and nickel-plated
details.
• Built and finished like quality indoor furniture, but designed
and engineered to perform beautifully for full-time outdoor
exposure with routine maintenance. Frames available in
multiple colors with a marine-grade finish.
• Generously proportioned and scaled for the optimum resort-at-home or ultraluxe resort living experience.
Plush cushions upholstered in luxurious performance fabrics to elevate comfort level and design aesthetic, and
to complement and enhance the overall design.
• Upholstery and upholstered panels may be specified in virtually
limitless combinations for both indoor and/or outdoor use.
• Century’s innovative Driluxe cushions on all seating are
constructed of a water-repellant cover surrounding a
high-resiliency foam core and wrapped with 100 percent
polyester fiber, which is compliant with CAL 117 flame
retardant standards.
• A superior selection of Sunbrella® brand performance
fabrics designed by Richard Frinier to complement all
collections are woven from 100 percent solution-dyed,
UV-stable acrylic fibers that resist fading, deterioration, and mildew.
“This versatile furniture offers endless opportunities to transform and
revolutionize both interiors and exteriors,” says Edward M. Tashjian, Century’s Vice
President of Marketing. “You’ll never be bored with your décor! And like all of our
Leisure collections, it’s as lovely in the living room as it is on the terrace. Whether
you live in the heart of the city or just visit whenever you can, Metropolitan infuses
your home with the spirit and energy of the urban lifestyle.”
