Finally, an Attractive, All-Weather Seating Solution for Outdoor Events

Rebecca Pappas
May 14, 2014

It's that time of year when clients plan outdoor parties and events in places like the beach, the golf course, or poolside. Outdoor events present unique challenges and require furnishings that won't get ruined by Mother Nature—the last thing planners want to worry about is moving furniture indoors due to a sudden downpour.  

Fortunately, there are event rental products made for all-weather environments.  Blofield Air Design is a soft seating collection that can be used anywhere and is available for rental nationwide from CORT Event Furnishings. An award-winning design, Blofield is made from durable vinyl that easily wipes clean and dries fast.

Blofield is available in cream, black, or red, and the collection features a club chair, a love seat and a three-seat sofa. It also includes the "Donut," a new spin on the picnic table with a large inflatable vinyl ring and an attached table.  

CORT offers Blofield along with other outdoor furniture options, including Vibe cube ottomans and vinyl pillows that add a pop of color. For more information about Blofield visit cortevents.com, or call 888.CORT.YES.
