Not afraid of severe cold. All you need is some eye-catching all-weather items to create an outdoor entertainment space for you in any season.

It may be a bit crispy on the outside, but this is not a reason to stay indoors before the spring thaws. In the colder months, you can enjoy the outdoor space in many ways, especially if you are decorated with durable, beautifully designed furniture and JANUS et Cie style furniture. A few friends and some hot pot are okay.

Browse some of the top picks below and get inspiration to design your outdoor space for entertaining throughout the year.

Days are shorter now, but as long as your yard is equipped with chic resort-grade items, you will have the motivation to go there to absorb some vitamin D before sunset. Look for sculptural furniture with clean lines, such as the Azimuth Cross recliner, side table and recliner by JANUS et Cie. Add some clever lighting, such as Waitsfield lanterns, to maintain all the lighting when night falls.

When you design with high-design items with hand-woven details (such as Knot side tables, three-seat sofas, and cocktail tables), any backyard corner can be a good place to relax.

Al fresco dining is more than just warm weather. Pairing with the right food, friends, and furniture—for example, the stylish teak Gina dining table, the airy Knot armchair and the Anatra armchair—can be a year-round fun. Decorate the exterior with elegant interior and exterior decorations, such as Ambrosia pomegranate sculptures and veneer trays.

The best backyard gathering spots have some memorable clips. Uniquely shaped picks, such as the Anatra high-back recliner, are eye-catching. Pair them with aluminum Anatra side tables for a little advantage.

The secret of the dream deck? Bring an eye-catching and incredibly comfortable item. The Fibonacci Vantana double recliner is the best place to sit and immerse yourself with its graceful slanted shape and innovative structure (hand-woven JANUSfiber on a powder-coated steel frame).
