A new link for the great outdoors

Now that it's the season we all relish being outdoors as much as possible, isn't it time to update the furniture? The Echo Collection, designed by Douglas Levine for Link Outdoor, is striking in its simplicity yet elegant in form. Made of teak and stainless steel, the designs range from architectural to sinuous, equally emphasizing form and comfort.



Douglas Levine worked as Director of Design for Holly Hunt, Ltd. in the 90's, collaborating on the debut of the Studio Collection & Great Plains Textiles. Levine created his own company, L Corp. in 1998, and has contracted with Bright Chair Co. in New York and Manheim Ruseau in Dallas to re-image and reposition their product lines.



His work straddles both the hospitality and the residential markets, and he presents new lines annually at NeoCon, which is kicking off this weekend in Chicago. Levine also designs a select number of residential interiors, working with clients who seek his clean eye.



The collection, deceptively simple, yet sophisticated and modern, is also ideal for a variety of geographic settings.



It's now on view at Thomas Lavin at the PDC, Hines & Co. at the DDB, Jeffrey Michaels at the DCOTA and George Cameron Nash at the DCH.

Where in the DDB?

Think you can guess which DDB showroom we snapped these two photographs in? Leave us a comment with your guess to show us how well you know the DDB. The answer will be in next week's "Where in the DDB?" post.

Hint: This Company's products are designed and made in Scandinavia by craftsmen who ensure the preservation of Scandinavian traditions.

If you guessed the Hines & Co. showroom for last week's "Where in the DDB?" post, you're right!
