Outdoor Furniture Company Strengthens Design Team

Renowned Designer Sheila Bridges Enhances the Outdoor Furniture Brand

For Immediate Release
May 21, 2007

The turn of the New Year saw Arthur Lauer become the new face of a trusted brand, Wood Classics. Having created top quality teak furniture directly from the Hudson Valley, New York since 1983, the company worked hard to earn its place as the premier teak wood furniture company in the USA. The Arthur Lauer inspired Outdoor Living brand offers customers the same excellent quality and service with a fresher, more contemporary look.

Today, Arthur Lauer builds on the success of the Arthur Lauer brand by introducing a new designer to their team - Sheila Bridges. Named "America's Best Interior Designer" by CNN and Time Magazine, Sheila's thought-evoking and contemporary classic style will further contribute to Arthur Lauer's mission - changing the face of Outdoor Living.

The Sheila Bridges Home collection will include outdoor furnishings for the living room, dining room and pool side. The collection will feature the addition of a custom palette of Sheila Bridges painted finishes - something new for the Arthur Lauer brand. The spring 2008 launch will include a twist on the classic Adirondack chair design - a favorite of Sheila's. This will be the first offering with more slated to come the following years.

Arthur Lauer believes that its customers' outdoor living spaces are an extension of their indoor home - today's customer demands the same level of style and quality that is available for interior furnishings. Arthur Lauer's collaboration with Sheila Bridges will do just that. Sheila will bring the same design sensibility that audiences have come to love on her television show "Sheila Bridges: Designer Living", her book "Furnishing Forward" and numerous international print publications.

Arthur Lauer outdoor furniture is made from the very finest sustainably harvested teak wood available. Valued for its strength and durability, teak will endure a lifetime of outdoor use and exposure to the elements. Teak's high natural resin content enables it to naturally repel moisture and insects while preventing it from drying out, rotting or warping.
