As we’ve come to newly appreciate in the past two years, outdoor space plays just as large a role in our homes as indoor space—and can be every bit as inviting. With temperatures starting to creep upward and spring on the horizon, our balconies, decks, and backyards are poised to again take center stage. Just in time for sunnier days, we’re thrilled to announce Chicory, a new outdoor furniture collection making its debut this spring. The modular system is sustainable, durable, rooted in comfort—and most importantly, bound to beckon you outside.
"We started our design process with a focus on material—the goal was to create a durable, weatherproof collection that stands the test of time," says Ben Parsa, CEO of CABA Design, who created the Chicory outdoor collection. "We instinctively knew the best outdoor timber product is teak and focused on capturing the elegance and uniqueness of the wood while also ensuring we didn’t use a one-size-fits-all approach."

A key sticking point of choosing outdoor furniture is finding pieces that not only complement your space now, but have the ability to evolve along with your needs. With the Dwell x Chicory collection, folks can choose a premade layout or build a custom lounge area from a variety of seating options, side tables, and ottomans. "Intentional design allows each module to work dynamically in a vast range of spaces," says Ben Parsa, CEO of CABA Design, creator of the line. The slatted wood panels forming seat backs and arms can be used with any module, and the base blocks connect in any direction, so your configuration can rise to any occasion or stage of life, be it an evening of wine and charcuterie in an expansive garden or a morning coffee on a city balcony.
The side table can stand alone or slide over any seat cushion to create an elevated tray surface. "We wanted to blend beautiful design with cool, yet practical, features that solve pain points for the outdoor lounger," says Parsa.

Solving the problem of outdoor storage, the coffee table is the perfect place to stash extra cushions. Its slatted teak surface strategically allows water to pass through, preventing pooling.
