New from Century Outdoor,

the Rhodes Collection is drawn from classical reference made modern

through the simplicity of design.

Chicago, IL (September 2016)—Pulling from architectural motifs first drawn by the Grecian and Egyp-

tian empires, the Rhodes Collection by Century Outdoor is a refreshingly modern approach to classic design.

Striking silhouettes combine hints of the iconic Klismos chair as well as posts reminiscent of papyrus col-

umns at Karnak in Thebes. The benches in the collection harken to the earliest wood furniture in the world—

Dynastic Egypt.

Each of the seven seating designs, which include deep seating, dining, and a luxurious chaise, offers stylish

shapes constructed in metal and distinctive woven patterns that make the collection both timeless and

modern classic with the comfort for which Century is renowned.

“The Rhodes Collection is the perfect blend of unique design and lasting

style,” says Haynes King, Director of Century Outdoor. “It has an avant-

garde look but is not so contemporary that it renders itself too specific or only

suited for one type of space.”

“We know that our customer is spending more on outdoor furniture than al-

most any other category,” says King. “Facing into that strong lead, we are

focused on our Outdoor business as a growth segment for the company. We

feel Rhodes with its beautiful, clean lines will appeal to a wide audience, mil-

lennials to baby-boomers, traditionalists to more contemporary buyers.”

Regal in presence, the Rhodes Collection proves design does not sacrifice

comfort and gives today’s high-end consumers a seating option that speaks to

their aesthetic. The paring down of classical motifs rendered in the mixed

medium of metal and woven materials feels just right for today and timeless

for years to come.
