Century’s new Frinier line of outdoor furniture inspired by Morocco

HIGH POINT — A new collection from Richard Frinier for Century Furniture, Tangier, draws its inspiration from Moorish architecture.

Designer of award-winning interior and exterior furniture, lighting and accessories for more than 30 years, Frinier evokes the peaceful calm of the Moroccan culture in this line of outdoor furniture with chairs, modular sectional, chaise, ottoman and teak tables. Distinctive forms with arched Moroccan design details are accentuated with a hand-woven and open-weave pattern with a very specific fretwork motif.

“The Tangier collection embodies a strong sense of place capturing the romantic and exotic essence of authentic Moorish architecture that I discovered on an extended stay in Morocco,” said Frinier.

“Richard Frinier’s newest collection, Tangier, shows a progression into more mixed materials, said Haynes King, director of outdoor for Century Furniture. “Mixing natural teak with scagliola stone on occasional pieces complements the all-weather resin woven frames. It continues our opulent scale in an updated transitional collection.”

Over the past 16 years, Century and Frinier have launched many collections infused with design elements and embellishments inspired by the designer’s travels to more than 40 countries across five continents.
