Outdoor living has shifted. Once limited to a table and a few chairs, our terraces, patios, and gardens have become extensions of our homes—spaces for wellness, connection, and quiet luxury. And nowhere is that transformation more evident than at Antwerp Design Week (June 1-5, 2025), where Belgian outdoor brands are leading the charge.

From sculptural parasols to sustainable lounge chairs, these seven labels show us that outdoor living isn’t just a season—it’s a lifestyle.

Royal Botania: When parasols become sculptures

Enter Anamon—a new collection by Royal Botania that redefines what a parasol can be. Unveiled at Salone del Mobile and now landing in Antwerp, Anamon merges light and shade into a single sculptural form. It’s minimal, functional, and going viral. “It’s more than shade. It’s design that floats—blending seamlessly into outdoor environments.” Royal Botania continues to fuse high-end engineering with natural elegance, making every garden feel like a private retreat.

 

Vett: Wellness meets design in the Joka Collection

Vett isn’t just launching outdoor furniture. They're introducing a lifestyle shift. With the Joka Ice Tub as its centrepiece, this collection channels Nordic minimalism, wellness rituals, and sculptural design into one bold new direction.

“Joka isn’t just furniture. It’s a reset button. Presence. Ritual. Resilience.”

For design lovers who like their serenity with a side of cold therapy.

Gommaire: Organic living at its finest

Step into the Gommaire showroom and you’ll step into a world of tactility: reclaimed teak, hand-blown glass, woven baskets. Their 2025 collection is a celebration of timeless materials and handmade tradition—with a sneak peek at 2026 designs, too. “We don’t follow trends. We create pieces that outlast them.”

By blending indoor and outdoor aesthetics, Gommaire proves that nature never goes out of style.

Heatsail: Light, warmth and mist — in one object

Heatsail blurs the line between lighting and climate control. Their DOME and DISC collections don’t just warm you—they light your evening.

“We design lasting outdoor moments—objects that treasure the best parts of the day,” says the brand.


 

Manutti: Sculptural serenity under the sun

With collections like Ogado, Yiko and Alune, Manutti invites you to slow down during Antwerp Design Week. Inspired by nature and technical innovation, their newest pieces balance organic shapes with cutting-edge materials—powder-coated aluminium, recycled wicker, weatherproof rope. “We bring the serenity of nature and the comfort of indoor living together outdoors,” says founder Stéphane De Winter.


Jati&Kebon: A new chapter in outdoor elegance

With the launch of their Boho, Lynn, and Cala collections, Jati&Kebon marks a new era—rooted in sustainability, global collaboration, and timeless design.

Their rebranding is more than visual; it’s philosophical. With certified teak, Sunbrella fabrics, and Belgian-Asian craftsmanship, their collections combine softness and resilience—elevating every terrace or garden to a refined living space.



PAJUdesign: The scent of summer evenings

Belgian brand PAJUdesign bridges the indoors and outdoors with refillable candles and textiles that blur the boundaries of space. Their new LIAM and EMMA lines are part of their REFILL collection—smart, sustainable and stylish.

“We want our pieces to be the cherry on top—elevating your terrace and setting the mood.”


 

Conclusion: Outdoor isn’t “extra”—it’s essential

Whether you’re entertaining friends, unwinding solo, or rediscovering your connection to nature, these brands remind us that outdoor living is as much about emotion as it is about form.

And in Belgium, emotion runs deep—in the materials, the hands that make them, and the spaces they help create.
