In the ever-evolving landscape of outdoor furniture design, staying ahead of trends while maintaining a commitment to quality and environmental responsibility is crucial. At ScanCom International, we pride ourselves on being at the forefront of design, innovation, and operational excellence. This article explores the current trends in outdoor furniture design and how our approach aligns with these tendencies.

Embracing Nature and Elegance

A prominent trend in outdoor furniture design is the focus on harnessing feelings of nature and elegance. This trend is characterised by the use of neutral and muted colours, such as blacks, greys, and beiges, while incorporating earthy greens, warm terracotta, and deep browns. Our designers are hard at work incorporating these into our collections for the coming season, ensuring our colours evoke a sense of calm and connection to nature, making outdoor spaces more inviting and harmonious. By using these natural hues, we ensure that our furniture pieces blend seamlessly into outdoor environments, creating a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing look.

Innovative Materials and Textures

Innovation in materials and textures is another key trend in outdoor furniture design. As technology advances, so do the possibilities for creating durable, weather-resistant, and visually appealing furniture. At ScanCom International, we leverage the latest innovations to develop products that meet the highest standards of quality and durability.

We work and experience with a variety of materials, always with a focus on our ethos of sourcing responsibly. Our materials are not only robust and long-lasting but also offer a range of textures that add depth and interest to our designs. By combining different textures, we create furniture that is not only functional but also tactile and engaging. This will be even more apparent in coming seasons as our design team is putting the final touches on a major update for our textile offerings and opportunities.

Sustainability at the Core

While sustainability is a term that is widely discussed, at ScanCom International, it is more than just a buzzword - it is a core principle that guides our operations. We strive to minimise our environmental impact through responsible practices in sourcing, production, and design. Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in our choice of materials and processes, ensuring that our furniture is as kind to the planet as it is to the eye.

Our dedication to sustainability extends to the lifecycle of our products. We design our furniture to be durable and timeless, reducing the need for frequent replacements and thereby minimising waste. Additionally, our focus on recyclable materials ensures that our products can be repurposed or responsibly disposed of at the end of their life. This is not something that comes easily or cheap, and it adds a big opportunity for our designers to have a great impact – everything starts with the design.

Functionality Meets Aesthetics

The modern consumer demands outdoor furniture that is not only stylish but also highly functional. This trend towards multifunctional or multi-use design is evident in our product range at ScanCom International. We create pieces that offer versatility and adaptability, allowing consumers to make the most of their outdoor spaces.

Our designs often incorporate features such as adjustable seating and modular components. These elements add a layer of practicality to our furniture, making it suitable for a variety of outdoor activities and settings. By balancing aesthetics with functionality, we ensure that our furniture meets the diverse needs of our customers. While most consumers still look for traditional solutions within dining and lounge, we continually add additional pieces for different and hybrid uses – such as for balconies and urban patios.

Customisation and a ‘Tailored Fit’

Customers and consumers are looking for pieces that reflect their individual style and preferences. At ScanCom International, we offer customisation options that allow our biggest customers to tailor our designs to their specific requirements.

From selecting fabrics and finishes to choosing specific configurations, our customisation options provide a high level of flexibility. This approach not only enhances customer satisfaction but also allows us to cater to a broader range of demands across various and distinct markets. Our Private Label solutions are especially tailored for this and helps reinforce our commitment to meeting the unique needs of our clients.

2025-26 Collection Launch

Trend is constantly evolving and so, our finest assignment is to follow the flow and ensure we incorporate the trends and demands from our markets into our products season after season.

The above trends will be visible in our latest Private Label Collection which will be unveiled later this year in our world-class showrooms and design hubs in Vietnam and Denmark, respectively. We can’t wait to welcome our partners and customers to share the latest and greatest in outdoor furniture for the B2b sector.
