Common Types of Modern Patio Furniture
Patio furniture is available at many locations, as also can be purchased from reliable internet furniture stores, and the variety of pieces and modern material available is extensive. There is such a wide range of patio furniture these days that utilize a number of different materials. More and more, you can find patio furniture that will use a few different types of materials or materials that are not listed here, however the most common types of furniture that you will find are:
1. Rattan or wicker furniture
As commonly understood, wicker is the weaving process, and not the material used. The best thing about wicker is that it can be cleaned with ease. You can vacuum clean the dirt, whereas the spills can be wiped up with a clean cloth and mild detergent. Humidity level is important in determining the care of these pieces. It may not be a great idea to opt for wicker in places where the weather is humid and the air is too dry. However, you get highly tensile synthetic fiber that is elastic and waterproof, like Jalan fiber. It reduces the maintenance time.
2. Teak furniture
Teak is an all-season wood with naturally impregnating oils that protect the surface from weathering. The natural looks of teak can be easily blended with the greens and it looks gorgeous in patios, open spaces and gardens. You get loungers, chaises, sofas, tables and chairs in different finishes to compliment different outdoor settings. However, teak requires some regular maintenance like polishing the surface with teak oil to keep the furniture shining.
3. Metal furniture: Aluminum or Wrought Iron
Outdoor metal furniture consists of mostly aluminium pieces and wrought iron furniture. Garden aluminium furniture is light and easy to move around. However, windy areas are not so ideal for aluminium; also it requires regular maintenance. A wrought iron Dining Table and chairs in white is a popular outdoor scenario, and it does add a touch of elegance to a patio/garden. Then there are benches and folding metal chairs that come in handy outdoors. Metal too requires routine cleaning and painting.
4. Plastic furniture
Plastic furniture is not so popular in the West, but you get furniture in molded PVC furniture as a popular choice, in colors that harmonize with natural surroundings. High quality fiber or plastic furniture make inexpensive furniture outdoors and can be painted in any desired color. However the life of plastic furniture may not be at par with metal, wood or wicker furniture.
5. Cedar or pine furniture
Cedar or pine furniture is great for outdoors. Wooden Outdoor Furniture Pine and Cedar outdoor furniture will add beauty and years of enjoyment to your outdoor paradise.

Who designed my danish Modern Table from ScanDesign in Florida?
I inherited this great little Pedestal Table from my Grandmother's estate. I'm pretty sure it came from ScanDesign in the Orlando area. It's Teak ( i think) with a small, circular, Flat Top (maybe 9 in, diameter) it comes up to about my knee. It's stamped Made in Denmark and then the company name, which looks like Ariex... but it's hard to read. Do you know what this company may be?
Have you tried searching for the company online?
