The Nara line of outdoor furniture was designed by Louis Benech and introduced by Royal Botania's new venture, Black Label. The collection combines the solidity of a fence with the grace of Japanese toriis and uses teak of exceptional density for stability. The line consists of eight pieces, including an outdoor sofa, armchairs, a three-legged chair, deck chairs, coffee tables, and a dining table. Each piece is numbered and stamped with a metal plate featuring Louis Benech's signature. The furniture highlights the noble characteristics of teak while defining a new contemporary classicism. For Louis Benech, the decisive move towards designing outdoor furniture took place in 2015. With the Water Theater Grove, Benech followed in the footsteps of Le Nôtre creating the first contemporary garden ever to be seen in the historical surroundings of Versailles. He also designed for this exceptional project a contemporary marble and concrete bench « Versailles XXI ». It was the starting point of a new venture. Benech decided to invest himself even more in the world of gardens, by giving shape to his vision of outdoor furniture, designing collections in harmony with his style that would suit all kind of gardens. The meeting between one of today’s leading garden designers and the renowned teak specialists Royal Botania was decisive, as the latter perfectly understood the essence of Benech’s reflexion based on two key words: continuity and modernity.
