Outdoor Luxury

In the spring, part of the enjoyment of being outside is (if you’re lucky) having a garden as a living area, perhaps overlooking a beautiful view. Designers have always strived to create comfortable and aesthetically pleasing surroundings, and that is what luxury is all about.

Stylish outdoor entertainment venues can be created by using tents and pavilions. Fabric has a way of defining the space, either on the interior or the exterior of a home. Just a little part of the world that everybody enjoys.

A tent shape pavilion designed by Jacques Garcia was inspired by the palace of Gustave III in Sweden. The original pavilion was made of cloth but Garcia made it out of painted lead so it can be removed in the winter.This pavilion was on the grounds of Chateaux de Bataille in Normandy, France.
