Great outdoors
By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, October 14, 2001
Depending on whom you talk to, the "outdoor life" means anything from waking up miles from the nearest road in a tent ensconced in an alpine meadow to parking the Winnebago in a camping area replete with store, showers, restaurants and other modern conveniences. Maybe it's just a drive in the country. Whatever the definition, furniture manufacturers are tapping into a perceived appreciation on the part of consumers with product evoking the outdoors through style, construction, design details or a combination thereof.
| GREAT LODGING In the American Spirit collection, Riverside seeks a sophisticated lodge feel through distressed pine construction and casual motifs like the louvered slats on a wall systems door fronts. |
| CALL OF THE WILD This end table is part of hooker's Safari collection of occasional tables in themes evoking the vast savannahs of Africa. |
| CABIN FEVER Part of marshfield's Woodlands collection, this sectional makes a transitional style statement. Various nailhead-trim options are available. |
| ANIMAL MAGNETISM This heavily carved, exposed wood chair from Parker southern makes strong animal statements. Fabrics are by Peachtree and Mastercraft. |
| THE REAL MCCOY The Country Tour collection from ferguson copeland includes a console with legs made from genuine elk antlers. (No worries, animal lovers — the antlers are naturally shed and picked up from where they're found in the wilderness.) |
