AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE
If you are going to spend your day hanging around the pool with friends and family this Festive Season, then let us make it an unforgettable experience, a day synonymous with complete relaxation, comfort and switching off from the daily grind.
So, let us go shopping for comfort, durability, and function.
What points do we look for when we go in search of what surely must be the elusive combination of comfort, durability, and function?
Various locations will require unique needs when choosing your lounger. So, let us consider a key element to look for when you set out on your quest to find the perfect lounger.
- Is your lounger purely for an undercover, enclosed patio?
If yes, then you have a wider choice of materials and fabrics to choose from as your lounger will not be too exposed to the elements. You could indulge in a fully upholstered lounger or a lounger made of hardwood with plush cushions made from stain and water-resistant fabrics. - Is your lounger heading outside? then the quest to find comfort, durability and function becomes a little more challenging. But we are here to guide you on how to make the right choices.
The best material you can opt for is a lounger with a powder-coated aluminium frame. This system of electrostatic paint adhesion onto the aluminium adds durability to the product and ensures minimal maintenance and longevity. - If you live directly on the coast, special precautions should be taken to avoid corrosion of your lounger. Speak to a hardware specialist who can recommend the best products for treating your aluminium from corrosion.
- The best fabric for lounger seats is Ferrari Batyline®, Sling or Textilene fabrics, all manufactured and recyclable. But not all polypropylene fabrics are created equal so assess the strength and resistance of the lounger fabric and make sure the fabric is mildew resistant and is easy to clean.
Your lounger will fulfil a multitude of functions in its lifetime. It is a place to sleep outdoors, lie and tan, read a book, a bed for a fur baby, and a place to just sit and stare. So, let us make sure that you have at least four backrest reclining positions available so you can achieve all these functions, and in specific loungers, like our Fermob® Alizè lounger, you also have a choice of footrest positions. Make sure the positions are easy to change and secure well so there are no sudden accidents.
If you like to reposition your lounger to follow the sun, move in and out of the shade, or just move them to tidy up, look for light loungers with wheels. With one hand you can move things around to enjoy the most out of your day in the sun.
You are now ready to set out and spoil yourself with a pool lounger.
Happy Shopping
Our Bryanston Branch will soon be receiving new sun lounger stock from Europe.
NO, I’M NOT READY FOR SANTA
It was a shock for me to see Christmas displays and lights up in the mall recently. I have not even thought about the Festive Season. I know there are organised people out there who already have their presents bought, meals planned, and guests expected, but I hang my head and admit, I am not one of them.
So, if you are a bit like me and need a bit of help, we have looked through our stock and produced a couple of ideas that might ease your stress a little.
Whilst you are browsing, remember that our Bryanston Branch has discounts available at present. Please come pay us a visit or visit our website as you might find something we have not put on this list that is a perfect match for that someone special.
Christmas shopping is good for you.
Some researchers believe that the brain derives a lot of reward when seeking out and purchasing gifts for others and this rewarding phenomenon continues when we see people receiving our gifts. To maximize the benefits of gift-giving, however, it is important to take time to savour the act and not let the holiday season turn into a source of stress. So, let us help you light up somebody’s face this Festive Season
BABY ANDUZE-GIFT IDEA
We all love the traditional large French Anduze Pots, but now our Cape Town Branch has these classic pots in a baby version. Such a perfect gift.
Sizes: 22cmØ x 17cm h
14cmØ x 12cm h
These pots already come with a drainage hole, so if you want to add someone’s favourite orchards or small cacti to the pot you can.
Available in Lavender Blue, Green, Jaun Yellow, and Patina Ancienne.
AMBIENT LIGHT-GIFT IDEA
We all love a bit of ambience and Tea Lights are a terrific way to shed soft, low-level lighting. They enhance the mood and promote relaxation. Try adding some scented oil to your tea light for a light fragrance that will leave an impression on your guests.
We have two gorgeous tea light holder options for your gift list. Firstly, we introduce Nero. Nero is minimalist by design and perfect for the modern, contemporary home.
Candles are not included so do not forget to pick a few up. Nobody wants to wait too long to start using your well-executed gift.
Next, we have CUUB, and although Cuub is modern in design it lends itself well to a classic setting with its perfect proportions and soft rounded lines. Cuub comes in a 3-pack of fantastic complimentary colour packs.
PORTABLE LIGHTING-GIFT IDEA
We have so many great lighting options for you, but we narrowed them down so you can make funky gift choices. Not only are these lamps great looking but they are portable and fully USB rechargeable.
Use your Petit indoors and out because this cutie is Small, Fine, Light, Robust, Mobile, Energy saving, Weatherproof, UV-resistant, dirt and water-repellent. If that is not enough to sell you on the Petit: The fully loaded Petit lamp lasts mobile for at least 6 hours at the highest lighting level. There are three lightness levels, which you can select using the very funky Fatboy tag below the lampshade.
BALAD-GIFT IDEA
Balad needs no introduction and is a gift that will be welcomed and appreciated by all. Balad has become one of the world's most iconic portable lamps and is brought to you by Fermob®.
Balad boasts four light settings in both cool and warm tones. You can choose your favourite colour. Once your Balad is fully charged, just pick it up and go. Its durable polyethylene and powder-coated handle make this beauty a real toughie.
COMING SOON
We are always committed to our search for the best deals and prices without compromising on quality. We are extremely excited as we will soon (middle of November) be receiving umbrellas that we trust will deliver on style and price. We ordered only our bestselling designs, most popular sizes, and the colour combinations most loved by you, our clients.
The popularity of our aluminium, powder-coated cantilever umbrellas has never waned, and we cannot wait for them to land on our shores Available in 3m00 x 3m00 Square in two colourways.
The Azur Cantilever Umbrellas allow you to decide if you want to be in, or out of the sun. You do not even have to move your lounger to achieve this, because Azur turns 360° on its base and its canopy slides up and down the mast so you can control your sunlight exposure from early to late. If you want to move the entire umbrella, that too is easy. The Azures’ sturdy base is fastened to four coaster wheels and moves effortlessly. Once you have found your perfect spot, flip the brakes onto the wheels, sit down and read.
