Gloster composes classic Symphony
Pull up a chair. Open the wine and turn on the music.
Gloster Furniture recently launched a new line, Symphony.
Gracefully composed of rich, chestnut-colored, all-weather wicker intertwined with smooth straight-grained plantation teak, the Symphony’s sweeping lines form an elegant curvature that contours to the body.
“Symphony is about the sounding together of classic design elements,” said Eric Parsons, national sales manager for Gloster. “It is a collection for the traditionalist at heart, who is tired of tradition. Using teak and all-weather wicker, we have interpreted the natural elegance of Gloster’s classic compositions into a piece of art perfect for enjoying a stylish dinner or concert al fresco.”
Designed by John Caldwell, the line includes 14 pieces including dining tables with slatted teak table tops, chairs and glass-topped occasional tables with a hidden recess for displaying souvenirs and keepsakes.
When dinner is over, why not take further refuge in a piece from the Scoop collection.
The curves of the Scoop lounger invite one to sink down and enjoy this lightweight, easily movable piece.
But, it is designer Mark Gabbertas’ Nest lounger that takes Scoop’s curve to the next level. The Nest could seem imposing at 43 inches tall and 731/2 inches wide, but instead it becomes an inviting sanctuary for one or two to cocoon away an afternoon or evening.
“I wanted Scoop to look inviting and comforting,” said Gabbertas. “The larger-than-life Nest was the last piece to join the range and I wanted to create exactly that: a cocooning, embracing and sheltering environment that would give privacy when turned, but which also had a throne-like quality with its high back. I felt this perhaps would make people feel good in the broadest sense.”
The Scoop line features 33 pieces including chairs, dining and side tables.
