Design brief centers on blending indoor comfort with outdoor durability
Brandon Kershner, Partner and Vice President of Design at Azzurro Living, said the collaboration developed naturally from shared design sensibilities. "For our first design partnership, I can't imagine a better person -- or friend -- to help us push outdoor furniture forward," Kershner said. The forthcoming pieces will feature sculptural silhouettes, natural textures and material combinations aimed at extending an indoor design mentality to outdoor settings.
Move targets shift in outdoor living demand for hospitality and residential markets
Kershner pointed to a fundamental change in how consumers use outdoor spaces as the strategic rationale for the partnership, positioning the collection for both luxury residential and hospitality environments where Azzurro Living already competes.
