Designing for All Seasons
The challenge of Melbourne’s climate has made its designers ingenious problem-solvers. When it comes to outdoor furniture, this translates into materials and layouts that work no matter the season. Ducksnest. responds to this with design elements that balance airiness with shelter—tables that can remain uncovered during summer rains, or lounge chairs that resist the fading sting of sun exposure.
Clever shading structures, modular arrangements, and upholstery designed for all-weather use are not afterthoughts—they’re part of the design DNA. Every piece is designed to integrate seamlessly with a range of settings, from rooftop balconies with city views to sprawling garden courtyards. When combined with soft furnishings, textured lighting, and natural materials, these designs don’t just survive the seasons—they make every season feel like a feature.
