Sail- A New Outdoor Collection Designed by Allison Paladino for Century

Century's new Sail collection, designed by Allison Paladino was influenced by Paladino’s love of sailing and the crisp, clean white sails set against blue sky.  The collection bridges the gap between modern and traditional with a hint of classical lines but a clean, sophisticated approach.

"I designed this collection because as a designer I could not find anything like this for my own projects. Outdoor collections these days seem to be either very boxy modern or too traditional and ornate,” says Paladino. “I wanted to create clean lines that would be very simple, soft and easy to use in all kinds of settings from more modern to traditional projects, pieces that I would want both for myself and my clients.”

The designs are materialized in a white powder coated aluminum and upholstery with the occasional tables featuring back painted white tempered glass tops. The collection consists of a sofa, lounge chairs with matching ottomans, occasional and cocktail tables as well as a square and rectangular dining table with dining arm and side chairs allowing the pieces to work in both smaller areas or pulled together to create a larger outdoor scape. The deep seating frames feature substantial cushions with a more plush sit than typical outdoor frames, and utilize Century’s Driluxe cores.

Our Outdoor Spaces

These few first weeks of Spring are undoubtedly the most glorious time of year, at least in the South. Longer days, highs in the 70s, low humidity and the absence of mosquitoes combine to create nirvana - if you can see through the hazy, sneeze inducing curtain of pollen that is omnipresent.

This Easter weekend would traditionally be shared with the Masters Tournament, with its cascades of azaleas juxtaposed against a sea of green and hushed, reverent voices. Although your backyard may not be as pristine as Augusta, your corner is just as deserving of beauty!

Century is a whole home company, and as such, we treat the outdoors as an extension of your living space. I think we all need that extra square footage about now.  Here are a few of our favorite outdoor offerings. 

Although this year will feel different from any other Easter weekend, we hope you can find joy in the wonders just beyond your back door.  Even though our celebration of Easter will be quieter than in years past, may yours be meaningful in new ways as we dream of warmer weather, large cookouts and nights spent gazing at the stars with a few more friends and family.

Thomas O'Brien Outdoor Photo Shoot

Last October market, we launched Thomas O'Brien outdoor collection. Inspired by his gardens, we knew that we needed to wait until Spring to shoot this collection. After a long and snowy winter, the Century team found the perfect home in Savannah, Georgia.

Here is a sneak peak from the photo shoot!

Behind the Scenes of our Deauville Outdoor Photo Shoot

This past week, we had our Deauville outdoor furniture collection photo shoot. And no, not even the rain can stop us from taking shots of our furniture. I think mother nature was trying to test our outdoor furniture and see how it can handle the rain.

The photo shoot was at an off-site location in Winston Salem. The house and of course the terrace and backyard were absolutely breathtaking. The concrete walls were covered with ivy, giving us the most picture perfect backdrop.

Once we found the place we liked for the we were going to take the shot, our photographer set up his equipment, his team moved the furniture to the location, and then our Showroom Design Manager, Ben, accessorized the scene by adding anything from planters to pitchers of sweet tea with freshly cut lemons. Once the scene was perfected, our photographer and his team adjusted the lighting to be sure it is a high quality image. This process was repeated with each shot we took all the while dodging rain showers. 

Here are some pictures from the shoot!

 

As you can see, the furniture and accessories get moved around until the shot looks just right!

 

 

We moved the table from the previous shot to the background of this image!

 

Adding the cushions!

Fully accessorized! Our photography team was blocking the light to make the shot.

We had to put trash bags on the lights to protect them from the rain!

 

 

Our team did a wonderful job getting beautiful shots of our Deauville outdoor furniture collection. Rain or shine, Century gets the job done!
