Elevating Florida’s Cooler-Season With Outdoor Living and Luxe Furniture Picks

As the winter season quietly slips into Florida’s rhythm—an easy, gentle shift where crisp mornings invite a leisurely coffee on the terrace  and soft evenings beg for lantern-lit dinners with friends — our outdoor spaces take on new meaning. Here in the Sunshine State, cooler breezes and lower humidity create an invitation: bring the indoors out. Let your outdoor space become a retreat, a sanctuary, a chic extension of your home. And like so many of our clients  at Home Resource whose design choices define the mood of their home ; this season we’re spotlighting four luxury outdoor-furniture brands from Dedon, Janus et Cie, Gandia Blasco and Kenneth Cobonpue that deliver both elevated design and outdoor resilience.

Below you’ll find each brand’s story, why it matters for Florida living, and two standout pieces you can browse now. Think:, terrace cocktails, quiet reading with a glass of wine, poolside dining and seamless indoor-outdoor transitions.

DEDON




Founded in Germany in 1990, DEDON pioneered the high-end outdoor “living room” concept, combining weather-resistant proprietary fiber with hand-weaving craftsmanship in their own factory. Their pieces are designed not just to survive sun, salt-air, and occasional tropical showers—they thrive in them.

Why it works for Florida: With our coastal salt breeze and strong sun, DEDON’s ultra-durable fibre and construction give luxury that’s practical.

Two key picks:

• Mu Sectional – A modular lounge system that blends clean, architectural lines with plush comfort, ideal for creating relaxed yet polished outdoor living spaces.
• Swingrest Lounge Chair – A graceful suspended lounger that invites serenity and conversation, effortlessly floating between luxury and leisure.

JANUS ET CIE

Since 1978 this American brand has specialized in luxury outdoor indoor-outdoor furnishings, balancing craftsmanship with design-forward shapes.

Why it works for Florida: The brand’s use of premium materials—durable cords, powder-coated aluminum frames—and customizable modularity make it a strong choice for patios that transition into evening entertaining.

Two key picks:

• Knot 3-Seater Sofa – An artful balance of form and texture, the Knot Sofa combines woven craftsmanship with modern proportions for a sophisticated coastal retreat.
• Amari Low back Armchair – Sculptural and sleek, the Amari armchair delivers all-day comfort and enduring elegance for alfresco lounging.

GANDIA BLASCO



Based in Valencia, Spain and founded in 1941, the brand reinvented itself in the 1990s with outdoor furniture rooted in Mediterranean architecture, modular systems, and a strong sustainability focus (recyclable aluminum profiles, long-life materials).

Why it Works for Florida: The clean lines, aluminium structures, and modular versatility of GANDIÁ BLASCO lend themselves beautifully to Florida’s indoor-outdoor lifestyle—especially for homes with bay-views, terraces, and evening gatherings.

Two key picks:

• Solanas 2-Seater Sofa – Designed with soft geometry and powder-coated aluminum, the Solanas sofa defines Mediterranean minimalism for refined outdoor entertaining.
• DNA Lounge Chair – Inspired by light and shadow, the DNA chair’s slatted design creates a striking architectural rhythm perfect for modern Florida terraces.

KENNETH COBONPUE



Filipino designer Kenneth Cobonpue is known for elevating natural materials like rattan into sculptural luxury furniture—he’s been called “rattan’s first great virtuoso.” His outdoor collections reflect artistry and craftsmanship, translating nature into expressive forms.

Why it Works for Florida: For homeowners who want that resort-feel—lush textures, organic lines, a sense of escape—Cobonpue pieces become focal points that transcend the usual patio set.

Two key picks:

• Yin Yang Outdoor Sofa – An expressive sculptural form that celebrates harmony and balance, the Yin Yang sofa transforms any patio into an artistic retreat.
• Cabaret Lounge Chair – Hand-woven with signature flair, the Cabaret chair evokes resort luxury through playful curves and tactile sophistication.

Outdoor living isn’t just about furniture—it’s about atmosphere, connection, and the ease of moving through your home as though the boundaries between inside and outside were never there. With collections from Dedon, Janus et Cie, Gandía Blasco, and Kenneth Cobonpue, your outdoor spaces can become expressions of your style—refined, comfortable, and meaningful. This season, may your terrace, lanai, or poolside retreat feel like an extension of your most inspired self.
