Basking in the warm and radiant Mediterranean days, one can't help but be drawn to the great outdoors - to revel in nature's beauty and the soothing sea breeze. In this land of sun and surf, patios and gardens are graced with some of the most appealing outdoor furniture currently on the market. The Hábitat Fair, taking place in the Mediterranean city of Valencia, is the perfect venue to explore the best garden furniture collections.

Join us as we delve into a variety of garden furniture offerings showcased at this Valencian fair, featuring an intriguing mix of both Spanish and international brands.

Introducing the New Mediterranean Style

Experience relaxed living and the traditional craftsmanship of coastal regions like Spain, Italy, or Greece with one of the most popular design trends in recent years - the Mediterranean style. This style, which dominated the recent Hábitat València edition, is characterized by its use of natural materials, organic fibers, and a profound artisanal touch.

Remember though, tradition and craftsmanship do not have to clash with innovation and fresh ideas. The comfortable, carefree spirit of the Mediterranean is now being reinterpreted using varied perspectives, materials and finishes. Traditional craftsmanship is getting a modern twist with new materials, while organic materials are being refreshed with cutting-edge technologies and innovative designs.

Materials: a blend of natural and innovative

In garden furniture, wood and wicker (or even hemp or rattan) take center stage. Robust bare wood tables, teak benches and wicker chairs with Mediterranean lines dominate these outdoor spaces. Other materials like wrought iron or limestone add the finishing touch to a variety of unique designs.

In the pursuit of Mediterranean comfort, natural textiles play an essential role. Linen, the cornerstone of Mediterranean design, takes on various forms and colors in sofa cushions, decorative pillows, tablecloths and more.

Moreover, garden furniture brands such as Expormim or Vondom rejuvenate that organic essence by merging natural textures with innovative materials, all while preserving the relaxed, warm, and comfortable vibe that defines the Mediterranean spirit.

Simplicity in design

The carefree character is an integral component to these designs. Among the different Habitat pavilions, you'll find fresh interpretations of typical garden furniture - loungers, chairs and dining tables - all embracing comfortable and simple shapes.

Curved lines, currently a popular trend, result in subtly organic-shaped pieces. However, the simplicity of geometric and robust lines rule designs like those by Ramón Esteve for Vondom, exuding an appealing and timeless aesthetic.

Colors

Light shades, neutral tones, and colors inspired by nature are the perfect choices for those seeking tranquility and restfulness. In this edition of Hábitat, white dominates the outdoor sofas and armchairs, giving the designs a special luminosity that's perfect for shaded patios and gardens.

For those who prefer something more vibrant, sage green or terracotta tones might be your best bet. These tonal accents will undoubtedly satisfy any color enthusiast while seamlessly blending with all types of materials.

In Conclusion

The garden furniture showcased at the latest Valencia Habitat Fair embodies comfort and carefreeness, two essential elements of that quintessential Mediterranean feel. This trends follows what we saw at the Salone del Mobile in Milan earlier this year.
