Janus et Cie goes modular with Boxwood

Boxwood, the latest addition to the JANUSfiber collection from Janus et Cie. Part of the proprietary JANUSfiber line, it's made of "Generation Next" weather-resistant fiber, which provides high-performance wear we need of our outdoor furniture, As Janice Feldman, President of Janus et Cie says of the Boxwood design, "It has a beautiful open weave that really shows off the craftsmanship of the product. We love the mix of the see-through weave with the crisp lines and rigorous structure of the furniture. It’s a look that allows Boxwood to blend into a contemporary commercial landscape or traditional garden setting. The shape is modern, but not severe because the weave lightens and warms the design."



Boxwood is available in two depths, with Left, Right and Center modules for the sofa, in addition to nine other designs including two tables, three chairs, and three sofa sizes. All are finished in a proprietary Mica JANUSfiber handwoven over an electrostatic powder-coated aluminum frame with a bronze finish. It's a mouthful, but it promises this is a design that will stand the test of time! Remember the company's been at it for nearly 35 years.



Stop by and see Boxwood at the DCH (Suite 155), DCOTA (Suite A123), and PDC (Suite B146/193). It's another way to make us even more jealous that much of the USA gets to enjoy living outdoors throughout the Fall and Winter!

Get outside with new furniture from the DCOTA

We're counting down the minutes to the weekend (just a few more hours!) but till then, let's be honest, we're daydreaming about being outside, preferably by the pool with a cocktail in hand! To further entice (or maybe we should say torture), here's an assortment of new outdoor furnishings available at the DCOTA.

Product Pick: High Back Gets a High Five

JANUS et Cie’s Amari series of outdoor lounge seating satisfies our lust for a modern look via sleek angles and contoured shaping. As part of the JanusWeave Collection, the collection’s curves are inspired by artful modern designs, contemporary architectural shapes and each piece is made following JANUS et Cie's historical weaving methods.

The Amari high back lounge chair is handwoven with weather resistant JANUSfiber and is one of our favorites in the collection.

You can check out Amari and the rest of the JanusWeave Collection at the showroom at the PDC, DCOTA and DCH.

GDG Gift Guide: "Loom: Woven Paper"

A great gift to adorn the coffee table or design book library is the beautiful, hard-cover book, "Loom: Woven Paper" sold at JANUS et Cie.

The book highlights the elegance of Lloyd Loom, a unique manufacturing process of twisting resin-infused Kraft paper around a galvanized steel wire.

Written by JANUS et Cie president Janice Feldman and featuring a foreword by Architectural Digest’s Editor-in-Chief Paige Rense, the vivid narrative and rich imagery illustrate the history, design and versatility of Lloyd Loom in exotic locales around the world, from the rustic countryside of Provence to the mysterious halls of Marrakesh, Morocco.

"This is a perfect coffee table book and it would make a great holiday gift," Kristina Larson, DCH Director of Marketing, told us. "Every design enthusiast will love it!"
