Your ideal frame

Cushions to match your style

Comfort meets style in our collection of weather-resistant cushions. From all-season All-weather cushions to the soft, luxurious feel of Comforma, with a choice of ten colours, you’ll always find an option that suits your taste.

All-weather

With water-permeable filling and quick-dry fabric, these cushions are designed to stay outside all year round. They are dirt-repellent, mould-resistant, and provide a wonderfully soft seating experience thanks to their soft-touch textilene.

Soltex

The softness of fabric with the benefits of synthetic materials. These water- and dirt-repellent cushions can be left outside during spring and summer—even during a rain shower. For a longer lifespan, store them indoors in autumn and winter.

Our softest cushions, perfect for covered outdoor areas. A special coating repels dirt and liquids, making them easy to clean. For prolonged rain or during autumn and winter, it’s best to store these cushions in a dry place.

Our story

Nearly 40 years ago, we opened our first store in Breda, the Netherlands with a clear mission: to help our customers make the most of their outdoor spaces with garden furniture designed for comfort and relaxation. Today, we are the largest in the Benelux, with our furniture being sold across the world.

The Antonissen family

Founding of Plus 100 and the opening of the first store in Breda, which initially sold not just garden furniture but also duvets.

Launch of our own brand: Life Outdoor Living, built on the core values of quality, design, and sustainability.

40 years of passion for outdoor living

Under our former Benelux retail name, BuitenHof Tuinmeubelen, we proudly won the award for ‘Best Garden Furniture Retail Chain’ in both 2012 and 2013.

Our 34 stores and webshops now share the same name as our own garden furniture brand: Life Outdoor Living.

Travelling as a source of inspiration

When you sit outside, besides comfort you also want a style that harmonises with the nature around you. Taco, a designer at Life, shares how he found this balance with the Lazio set and how his passion for travel fuels his creativity.

Taco is a true life enthusiast with a passion for design. His inspiration comes not only from furniture and travel but also from cars and fashion. Sometimes, it comes from unexpected places: from the rolling hills of Lazio to the clean lines of modern architecture.

“A great design starts with a practical idea,”

Taco explains as he sketches the Lazio set. “It must be functional but also blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings. My goal was to create a set that invites relaxation while offering a visually striking aesthetic. It’s incredibly rewarding to see how our designs transform people’s outdoor spaces.”

A contemporary design for a unique outdoor experience.

Inspired by nature: the Lazio table & Bali chair

During a trip through the Lazio region of Italy, Taco was inspired by the organic shapes of the rolling landscape. “I incorporated those flowing lines into the design of the Lazio table,” he explains.

The rounded forms reflect one of the key trends he discovered at the Salone del Mobile furniture fair in Milan. With the Lazio table, Taco brings the best of interior design to the outdoors. Its innovative stonex material combines the robust look of natural stone with the lightness and durability needed for everyday outdoor use.

The organic feel of the Lazio table continues in the Bali chair, crafted entirely from sustainably sourced Indonesian teak. “With the Bali, I wanted to create a chair that not only radiates tranquillity and warmth but also offers ultimate seating comfort,” Taco adds. Together, the Lazio table and Bali chair bring a harmonious balance to your outdoor space, making them the perfect choice for Mediterranean, Japandi, or Scandinavian garden styles.

Morena Lounge

Sustainable teak & distinctive details

The Morena lounge is a luxurious teak lounge set that adds warmth and atmosphere to any outdoor space. The combination of teak and rope detailing in the backrest gives the set a modern edge. With sleek lines and artisan details, such as the woven panelwork in the side tables, the Morena offers a refined yet bold aesthetic. This standout piece is defined by its unique materials and finishes and can be enhanced with a matching fire table for extra ambience and warmth in your garden.

Available cushion colours

Lima Lounge

Organic forms & woven materials

The Lima lounge is a luxurious, organically shaped lounge set made from aluminium and the innovative RuCore+. This thick rope is designed with a rubber foam core, a protective synthetic sock, and intricate weaving. The foam ensures comfort, while the water-repellent rubber provides protection. The synthetic sock prevents moisture build-up, allowing the woven structure to dry quickly and making it easy to clean and maintain. With a lightly reclined seat, the Lima lounge offers exceptional comfort—whether you’re relaxing with a good book or entertaining friends.

Also available with lava frame, black rope and graphite cushions.

The Lazio coffee table

Zagros Lounge

Spacious design with sleek details

The aluminium frame is not only stylish but also weather- and water-resistant, making it ideal for any outdoor setting—even by the pool. The textilene seating and sumptuously comfortable cushions, available in ten colours, ensure the ultimate lounging experience.

Perfect for long summer days and tranquil outdoor moments.

Living Stories

The Muller family

The Muller family

In ‘Outdoor Living Stories’, our customers share their most cherished outdoor moments. This time, we visit James, Emily, and their daughters Sophia and Emma. Their modern country-style garden is an extension of their home—where relaxation and joy take centre stage, and the daily hustle fades into quality time. From family game nights and spontaneous dinners with friends to starting the day with a coffee by the water, this is their personal outdoor retreat.

The Muller family has designed their garden with sustainable furniture that fits their busy lifestyle. The Soho lounge set is a comfortable gathering spot for the whole family. “The low-maintenance design is ideal,” says James. “Both the frame and cushions are easy to clean, which is a lifesaver with kids who love to climb and spill.”

The clever storage compartment in the corner table, hidden beneath the integrated aluminium tray, keeps games and books dry, ensuring the garden always looks neat.

Emily adds, “On Sunday mornings, we love having breakfast outside with a view of the water. It’s our moment to slow down and enjoy time together. The kids love it just as much as we do.”

James laughs: “For now, at least! Who knows how things will change in a few years? They might prefer sleeping in by then. But as long as they still want to spend time with us, we’ll cherish every moment.”

The Soho lounge set: 3 styles, endless possibilities

The Soho lounge set is one of our most versatile designs, loved for its timeless look and customisation options. With a choice of different cushion and frame colours, you can tailor the set to match your style perfectly. Be inspired by a stylist from the well-known Dutch home & lifestyle brand vtwonen, who transformed the Soho into three unique looks with just a few adjustments:

Subtle Scandinavian

For a serene and airy garden, embrace the Scandinavian style. Soft, neutral cushions provide a calm foundation, while wooden accents and organicshaped side tables add a natural touch.

Pair with light-coloured décor, such as a minimalist tray and ambient lighting. A light parasol completes this peaceful look.

Mediterranean warmth

Bring the sunshine to your garden with the inviting tones of the Mediterranean. Opt for a beige frame with light cushions and add earthy decorations, like woven baskets and terracotta pots. A relaxing lounge chair and multifunctional pouffe complete the set—ideal for an afternoon siesta or a laid-back summer evening.

Bold industrial

Give your garden a rugged, modern character with the industrial style. A lava coloured frame, dark cushions, and wooden elements create a striking look. Complete the setting with black, grey, or green accessories, such as a bold coffee table and large plants in sturdy pots. Perfect for those who love a contemporary, daring atmosphere.

With the Soho lounge set, your outdoor space is always unique. Discover just how easy it is to create a stylish and personal outdoor retreat.

outdoorResponsibleliving

At Life Outdoor Living, we believe that truly enjoying the outdoors starts with conscious choices. Elles, Sourcing Manager at Life, works daily on making our garden furniture more sustainable – from material selection to production processes and collaboration with suppliers.

Sustainable teak

“All our teakwood is SVLK or FSC® certified,” says Elles. “This means it comes from sustainably managed forests, respecting biodiversity and local communities.”

Thanks to its high oil content, teak does not dry out and is naturally resistant to rot, making it ideal for long-term outdoor use. “The wood absorbs heat, does not splinter, and therefore ensures safe and comfortable use year after year.”

Respect for people and the environment

Sustainability at Life goes beyond materials. “Social responsibility is at the heart of everything we do,” Elles emphasises. “From fair wages and safe working conditions to respecting workers’ rights throughout our supply chain.”

In our workshop in Roosendaal, returned or damaged furniture is refurbished or carefully recycled. “We make sure nothing goes to waste,” says Elles. “From packaging materials to leftover wood, everything is processed to preserve valuable raw materials and give materials a second life.”

With this approach, Life proves that luxury, design, and sustainability go hand in hand. Together, we are creating an outdoor lifestyle that is not only beautiful but also responsible.

Fitz Roy Dining

Distinctive details

The Fitz Roy collection symbolises premium quality and comfort. The latest design in the series combines robust elegance with refined details. The aluminium column legs, featuring a subtle curve, give the table a unique look. The legs are expertly connected by a teak beam, complementing the thick teak tabletop.

The table’s rounded shapes seamlessly match the chairs. With their twisted loom weave – a flexible, weather-resistant synthetic fibre – the chairs offer not only a modern aesthetic but also easy maintenance.

The Jupiter tray is available in three colours and, with its rope detail, pairs beautifully with the Fitz Roy chairs.

Texas Cross Dining

Timeless comfort

The Texas Cross table and Vienna chairs combine timeless design with ultimate convenience. The teak tabletop is supported by an elegant cross-base, providing both stability and ample legroom. The stackable Vienna chairs, featuring RuCore weaving and a textile seat, offer both comfort and sophistication. Weather-resistant cushions complete the set. Perfect for your outdoor space, all year round.

Available colours Frame colours Cushion colours

Table tops

RuCore stands for ‘Rubber Core’ – a fibre with a rubber core, making it strong, soft, and quickdrying.

The Denver chair offers the perfect balance of style, comfort, and versatility. With a choice of nine shell colours and legs in teak or aluminium, this chair can be fully tailored to your personal taste. Opt for wide, luxurious legs for a bold look or slim, elegant legs for a more subtle design.

The ergonomically shaped shell follows the contours of your body, providing exceptional seating comfort. For added softness, choose from one of twelve weather-resistant seat cushions.

The perfect outdoor setup: from compact to spacious gardens.

Designing your outdoor space can be done in many ways, regardless of its size. Whether you have a cosy balcony or a spacious garden, the right choices will help you create a space that perfectly suits your lifestyle. Thanks to our extensive collection and modular lounge sets, there is a perfect garden furniture solution for every square metre.

Compact: stylish and functional

For a small garden or balcony, making smart use of space is key. Choosing elongated tiles and a lightcoloured backdrop creates depth. Multifunctional furniture is ideal: a lounge set with All-weather cushions and a height-adjustable table combines comfort and flexibility. This way, you can dine and lounge in one set while saving storage space thanks to weatherproof cushions.

For a balcony, a two-seater bistro table or an adjustable relax chair with a footstool offers a stylish and practical solution, allowing you to make the most of your compact outdoor space.

Medium-sized: versatility and style

A medium-sized garden offers the opportunity to experiment with different layouts. Modular garden furniture provides the flexibility to create the perfect arrangement for your available space. To make the garden appear larger, consider a bar set. The height difference creates an open feel and adds a playful touch.

With an extendable garden table and stackable chairs, you can easily adapt to different occasions. This way, your garden remains practical and inviting, no matter the event.

Large: luxury and comfort

A spacious garden offers endless possibilities for a stylish outdoor experience. Create a generous lounge area with a comfortable set and add an outdoor rug for extra atmosphere. A dedicated play area for children is a great addition – they will enjoy hours of fun while you relax on a luxurious sun lounger.

For long summer evenings, a large dining table is essential. Pair it with an outdoor kitchen to turn cooking into a social activity.

For sun lovers, a single or double lounger with a plush cushion is the perfect solution. Don’t forget to add an adjustable parasol to create shaded areas on warm days.

At Life, comfort, quality, and design are always at the forefront, no matter the size of your garden.

Organic, colourful, and sustainable

The garden trends of 2025 bring tranquillity, colour, and sustainability to your outdoor space. Designer Sarah shares how these trends come together in Life’s latest collections, with designs that seamlessly blend functionality and aesthetics.

Organic shapes

“The curvy trend, popular in interior design, has now made its way to outdoor spaces,” explains Sarah. “Organic shapes, such as round table tops and curved edges on lounge sofas, create a warm and inviting atmosphere. They soften rigid lines and bring a harmonious look to your garden. Additionally, they offer practical benefits, such as a safer environment for children. Through our collections, we bring this natural elegance outdoors.”

Beige with vibrant accents

“A neutral base with beige and offwhite cushions remains timeless and stylish,” says Sarah. “To maintain a connection with nature, we incorporate decorative colour accents such as olive green and coral. These natural tones add warmth and depth to the garden. This trend is also reflected in planting choices, such as lavender or Japanese blood grass, giving your outdoor space a lively and harmonious character.”

“The light lounge cushions, coloured decorative pillows, teakwood, and rounded edges give the Jura lounge set a warm aesthetic.”

Natural materials

“Teak plays a central role in our collections,” Sarah continues. “It offers a warm, luxurious appearance while also being durable. At Life, we design with the future in mind: materials such as teak, ceramic, aluminium, and stonex ensure that our furniture lasts for years. This makes our products an investment not just in design but also in sustainability.”

With these trends, Life demonstrates how functionality, aesthetics, and sustainability effortlessly come together to create an outdoor space that inspires and looks inviting.

Living Stories

Eliza & Thomas

In ‘Outdoor Living Stories,’ Life customers share their outdoor moments. This time, we meet Eliza and Thomas, who have extended their modern interior style to their outdoor space.

Summer evenings with friends

For Eliza and Thomas, the garden is a place of peace and togetherness, where they enjoy special moments with family and friends. Eliza shares: “Last summer, we hosted multiple themed barbecues. One of our favourites was a Mediterranean theme. Everyone brought something delicious, from homemade tapenades and grilled vegetables to seafood and focaccia. Since our group consists of twelve people, having help with preparations was really convenient. With our bar and lounge set, we had plenty of space for everyone to enjoy themselves comfortably.

These evenings are the perfect summer moments for us – enjoying each other’s company late into the night.”

Thomas adds: “When choosing a bar table, we considered these kinds of gatherings. We wanted something that combined style with practical ease. The ceramic top is not only elegant but also easy to clean after a lively evening. A quick wipe, and the table looks as good as new.”

Relaxing moments

On quieter days, especially after a fun barbecue evening, Eliza and Thomas love taking a dip in the pool and unwinding on their loungers.

Eliza: “We chose these loungers because they perfectly match our other furniture, are incredibly comfortable, and have wheels. This makes it easy to move them into the sun or shade, depending on the weather.”

For both Thomas and Eliza, their home’s interior and exterior design is all about comfort, simplicity, and quality. Thomas: “Home is where you unwind, and for us, that works best with calm colours and well-matched, comfortable furniture – both indoors and outdoors.”

Cooler evenings do not have to mean the end of your time outdoors. With the right products, you can create a warm and inviting atmosphere, even as temperatures drop.

Warmth and ambience with a fire table
