Luxury Modern Outdoor Patio Furniture by Richard Frinier

“Come On-A My House”
OK, OK, I do actually know that it’s kind of lousy for me to be talking about patio furniture with the weather being the way it has been the last few weeks for most of the country. My sister in Missouri has been freezing and had to put off plans to visit our sister in Montana because of the excessive snow! Meanwhile, we in San Diego are doubtlessly beyond smug, and that will be true whether or not the Chargers are still in the playoffs when this blog appears. Oh, they break our hearts, the home teams do, but a climate as mild as this one has astounding recuperative powers. They lose the big one, we cast a collective sigh, then we make plans for the beach!
But right now for us, and even many of the snow birds, winter is a time for planning what will come in summer, which, smug as I am about the mild winters here, is still considerably better than the winters. But summer comes, it will, and when it does, what could be better than the undeniable luxury of relaxing on one’s back yard with patio furniture that all but screams luxury?
And if you are going to relax in the backyard this year, by gosh, why not do it with flair? And with that we can talk about Richard Frinier who has created a Luxury Outdoor Furniture collection that combines fantasy with practicality. I’m not sure which comes first, although, even though it is still the height of the winter, I am already thinking about-make that dreading-the Spring maintenance area that will come for me just as surely as the summer that I would like to enjoy and would if I did not have to spend so much of my blankety-blank time on MAINTENANCE! Oops, sorry about the rant! But seriously, if this is the kind of thinking you have about your own outdoor furniture, this might be just the time to consider a product with the charm of rattan, but made instead with the practicality of sturdy aluminum frames and woven with polyethylene resin fiber, which means, nothing to repair or replace, just something to enjoy.
And the other side of the coin is the design itself. Richard Frinier had visions of Aladdin in A Thousand and One Nights when he designed his Daydream daybed. “It was sort of an Arabian fantasy with the contour of the bed designed as if it were a carpet floating on air,” he says. Since then others have copied a lot of his designs, and Mr. Frinier has gone on to expand on his original concepts. With everything that he does, though, his intent is to transport one’s mind “to a place you have been before or a place you long to be.” Actually, I think just about all of us yearn for a place with a stable economy!
Well, the ups and downs of life are always going to be there, I suppose, but if a body just has a few moments of his own in a place that takes him away. well sometimes a little getaway gets you going right away! The downside of a vacation trip is the expense and the time it takes. The downside of a rejuvenating fifteen minutes in a fantasy retreat in the backyard of your own house is. c’mon, you know there isn’t one!
