Sutherland + Starck = Robinwood Deluxe

Sutherland, the Texas-based outdoor furniture company has collaborated with designer Philippe Starck to create this collection of outdoor teak and aluminum furniture.



The Robinwood Deluxe collection, named after the rebel Robin Hood with each piece in the collection named after one of the members of the merry band of thieves, consists of 26 pieces.


Combining Philippe Starck's minimal style with outdoor materials results in a functional and beautiful line of furniture.




There are some real standouts and unexpected pieces like a canopied bed, rocking chair, one armed barstool and highback sofa:




as well as standards like tables, dining chairs and chaise-longues:








In addition to the actual furniture, the collection is promoted with a charming illustrated piece telling the 'story' of the furniture and the providence of the name. Here are a few images from the piece:

Product Pick Of The Week: The Starck X Collection

The copy and descriptions below are taken from the Duravit catalog

Not Starck. Starck X. In mathematics, the letter X stands for an unknown quantity. In Chinese Taoism, for elevation to the divine. In bath design, it represents the start of a new era. In his Starck X series, designer Philippe Starck maximizes minimalism.





This vision called for extraordinary expertise in working with ceramic: unusual basin divisions, redesigned mixer positions and combinations with surfaces such as yellow and platinum.





The bathroom furniture sparkles with brightly lacquered inserts; mirror elements shine with innovative illumination. Because overflowing water is not a problem, bathers can immerse their entire body.




Talk about relaxation - and a novel bath design, from the individual layout of the surrounding "moat" to the optional remote-controlled lighting.




Even the faucets are treading new and unusual paths: flat, sculptured chrome surfaces echo the pure geometry of the faucet body. The water gushes forth as though from a natural spring, making the ritual importance of water tangible.




New dimensions have appeared in the Waterwall shower system - the perfect blend of minimalist contours and maximum shower comfort.


Is it luxury? Is it extravagance? Is it decadence? No - it’s Starck X.
