Expands Fire Pit Collections 
FT. LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA

Pride Family Brands, award-winning design innovator and manufacturer of cast-aluminum outdoor furniture, has expanded its luxury firepit collections with the addition of the Sienna round firepit/table. This addition brings the total number of firepit designs in Pride Family Brands' collection to six, with each offered in multiple finishes and cast table tops.
 
"The round Sienna fire pit was created in response to customer requests for more fire feature options in not only design, but value as well," said Steve Lowsky, president, Pride Family Brands. "The firepits have been extremely successful for our retailers since first introduced and we seek each season to capitalize on this popularity by continuing to expand the offering."

The new Sienna firepit is 48 in. round by 22.5 in. high. As with the Sienna square firepit style, this design is available with the popular Cast Cane, Rosetta or Cast Windmill aluminum table tops. Each unit includes a lid to easily convert from firepit to coffee table.

The simplified base design provides a showcase for antiqued or standard finishing. From the fully-welded design to the star design burner delivering 34,000 Btus, the Sienna provides style and efficient burning. The firepit includes fire glass available in two color options; tequila or black.

Koverton Takes It to the Street 
CITY OF INDUSTRY, CALIFORNIA

Koverton, supplier of contemporary outdoor furniture, introduces its new outdoor fabric collection, URBAN DU JOUR, that draws from today's street graffiti and urban art movement.

The collection features bold patterns, bright colors and abstract symbolisms to invigorate indoor and outdoor environments with the vibe of urban and inner-city trends.


The first two styles in the collection, West Side Love and SENizm, are designed by legendary New York graffiti artist George "SEN One" Morillo. Both styles represent his artistic style, and pay homage to the 1980s New York Upper West Side neighborhood where he spent his childhood influenced by the emerging hip hop culture, local art, music and dance scenes happening at the time.

"We are honored to be working with George. His love and passion for the street art are genuine. To our knowledge, this is an industry first, and we are deeply excited to have taken this from concept to reality," says Yan Wijaya, VP of Sales.

The URBAN DU JOUR fabric is manufactured exclusively for Koverton using 100 percent Sunbrella Acrylic yarns. It is designed for the outdoors and carries a five-year limited warranty.

Koverton is a manufacturer of high-end casual furniture fusing innovative designs with contemporary and modern elements. Koverton manufactures products in aluminum, synthetic wicker and stainless steel for residential, contract and hospitality markets.

Gloster Retail Sales Rep Announcement

SOUTH BOSTON, VIRGINIA


Colleen O'Connor is the newly appointed Gloster sales representative in the Pacific Northwest Region.

"We couldn't ask for a better situation than to have a first-year Gloster rep who already has 17 years of Gloster experience," said Eric Parson, president of Gloster Furniture. "Colleen knows our industry, knows our company and knows our product as though she has been our sales rep since Gloster set up shop in North America - she's even been to our factory and the plantations in Indonesia.

"Having been a retailer herself for so many years, Colleen brings a special understanding of retailer and consumer needs to the table that will prove to be a huge asset to her, Gloster and the Pacific Northwest retail marketplace. I'm very excited to work with and watch Colleen grow as a Gloster sales rep."

Charlie Smith is the newly appointed Gloster sales representative in Southern California.

"As a third generation sales rep in the outdoor business, Charlie has grown up with furniture in his blood," said Parsons. "Under the tutelage of his father, Dean, he has been fortunate to represent many fine manufacturers in our industry as an associate rep for the past several years.

"Recognizing Charlie's drive to excel at everything he does, and his proven commitment to making high-end outdoor furniture his life focus, the decision to transition responsibility for the future growth of Gloster in southern California to Charlie is the right one to make. I'm very excited about the prospects that lie ahead for Charlie - and Gloster."
