C Modern Patio Furniture Go Green

A new collection of outdoor furniture from Crate and Barrel focuses on sustainability and modern, if unsurprising, design.

Among the three collections we saw, two were well made but a bit ho-hum in the design department. We do like the Ventura Line, which Crate describes this way: Bring living room style outdoors with a lounge worthy modular couch with seat cushions and throw pillows that burst in sunset orange, sangria pink and plum.  Made with the shade in mind, the Ventura Stripe Umbrella is constructed of Sunbrella acrylic that blocks out 98% of the sun’s UV rays.

The all-weather wicker collections are hand-woven of 100% recyclable resin, and eco-conscious fabrics are used to construct the umbrellas, cushions and accent pillows.

Also, it's 20% off.
