The dirty secret of a lot of outdoor furniture is that it really can’t stand up to bad weather. Enter the Slab Collection from Bay Area-based Bevara Design House.
Bevara’s founders, Stacy and Erik Jorgensen, created the Slab Collection tables and stools from Eco Concrete, a reinforced natural fiber composite consisting of cement, granite, stone, marble powder, and natural coconut fiber. The indoor-outdoor material can be lightly sanded to hide natural wear and tear (though some of us are fans of patina). Yet the weighty-looking pieces are surprisingly light because Eco Concrete is 40 percent lighter than conventional concrete.
The Slab collection is available through Bevara Design House directly. Some pieces are also sold through select retailers, including Gumps in San Francisco, ABC Carpet and Home and Canvas in New York.
