Outdoor dining season is almost here. Refresh your outdoor living space with the new Lilium series by Fritz Hansen, designed in collaboration with the renowned Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), seamlessly blends Scandinavian design principles with innovative functionality. BIG, famous for its rethinking of public spaces and architectural ingenuity, brings a unique touch to the Lilium collection, which is inspired by Aalborg’s waterfront and industrial heritage. The series fosters social interaction and flexible usage, making it the perfect choice for both indoor living and outdoor patios, as well as dynamic workspaces. It’s a true embodiment of Danish design, offering a modern, versatile furniture line that encourages both work and play.
Crafted with simplicity and sustainability in mind, the Fritz Hansen Lilium series uses only two materials: untreated FSC-certified teak and bare stainless steel. This choice ensures both durability and an honest, timeless aesthetic. The teak’s natural beauty and the sleek, minimalist steel frame come together to create a piece that not only looks great but also ages gracefully, developing a unique patina over time. The standout feature of the design is the ‘X’ detail on the frame, giving the collection a distinct signature. The slightly wider proportions of the lounge chair make it both functional and inviting, offering a perfect spot for a coffee or a book.
The Lilium collection exemplifies the best of Danish and Scandinavian design, with its focus on craftsmanship, sustainable materials, and architectural inspiration. By combining Fritz Hansen's legacy of high-quality production with BIG's forward-thinking design approach, the Lilium series offers a fresh perspective on modern outdoor furniture. The result is a piece that will not only endure the elements but also enhance any space, inviting people to gather, work, and relax in a design that celebrates both beauty and functionality.
