Top Trends Shaping Resin Outdoor Furniture in 2025
As we look ahead to 2025, several trends are emerging that promise to shape our commercial outdoor living spaces. Many commercial spaces in the hospitality and food service industries are adapting to an atmosphere that presents outdoor living as an extension of “the home” promising a combination of luxury, practicality, and sustainability to outdoor furniture. As a result, outside-use resin furniture design continues to evolve with aesthetics and functionality taking center stage.
Be on the lookout for advances in sustainability, modularity and flexible designs, all-weather high-performance resins and fabrics perfect for deep seating conversational pieces, minimalist strong lines like slats incorporated naturally into streamlined forms, shades of terracotta, kitchen-side outdoor dining, and mixing of different materials and textures. These developments will bring contemporary energy to your project whether looking to furnish a high-traffic patio, refresh a quaint balcony bistro, spruce up an urban garden veranda, or populate a craggy coastline café.
