debuts with the distinctive Atlanta, English garden-inspired
Reading and the trend-setting original Pullman Courtyard table and
chair set.

industry-wide buzz about its product, design and promotional
originality.
1997 The Designer's Choice gives rise to the Arts & Crafts
style and Eastern influences to introduce the Artisan and Horizon
series.

Movement influence into commercial furniture while the Catalina
bursts forth with rays of southern style to define The Modern
Classics.
1999 Site Furniture of Distinction is graced with the capture of
timeless classical Greece building character in the Athenos and
the savvy hip of the upscale Cabaret dining collection.
2000 A modern blend of contemporary European influence and
historic design represents the simplistic innovation of the Exeter
bench that deserves the year to itself.
2001 Establish aesthetics, define a sense of place and Create A PresenceTM are revealed in the cottage-style Kerrington,
urban-elegant Midtown and modern-day revival Atticus.
2002 The Gothic cathedral spirit reveals the Augustine, the
reclining Adirondack Thendara relaxes, the Breakwater stylizes
weathered clapboards and the Torque turns it up a notch.
2003 Puddin Drippins®:
The exclusive line of children's site furnishings offers a
spirited complement for play environments and interactive settings
while maintaining the time-honored originality and craftsmanship.
Not to be outdone, the funky-bridged Pylon, classic airy
Leesburg & traditional picket fence Fenwick series provide
stark style contrasts for an eclectic era.
2004 Cultural Traditions expand horizons with the historic
Americana of the Liberty, unified grace of nature and architecture
in the Tei and the avant-garde Dragonfly swoop that re-defines the
term bench.
2005 Innovative, sleek and unobtrusive design was
revealed with the addition of the Penn ash tower as a means for
inconspicuous cigarette disposal. Also, in a collaboration with ABC’s “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition”,
Keystone Ridge Designs’ Torque benches were used by the design
team for their unique industrial metal design that coordinated
with the theme of the family’s backyard skate ramp.
2006 Upholding the same reputable standards of original
design, exceptional quality and lasting durability, Brazilian
Cherry wood furniture created options with an elegant resort
appeal and natural beauty.
2007 With a focus on expanding the core product line of
powder coated steel furnishings, the sophisticated Sienna, the
architecturally-inspired Conservatory and the interlacing Kilian
benches offered new options in distinctive seating.
2008 Inspired by a custom application for a premier ski
resort, the Atlanta bike and ski rack combination became a
standard product providing a unique year-round functionality for
ski resorts.
2009 The introduction of the Schenley bench provides a
new option in public seating and landscape enhancement with
sleek horizontal lines, comfort-designed angles and tear-drop
inspired cast aluminum legs.
2010 The expansion of the Penn series of products
combines the existing ash urn with a modern collection of site
furnishings intended for today's urban landscapes. A sleek
bench design, an inventive leaning rail concept and a compact
litter receptacle offer
practical applications for city parks, transit stations and busy
public spaces.
2011 The Easton table set provides new options in group
seating with the flexibility to add 4, 5 or 6 seats around the
table. Also, the increasing popularity of the Schenley
bench led to new variations including steel rods instead of
slats or the ability to customize with Ipe hardwood and recycled
lumber.
2012 New materials were highlighted with the Ipe hardwood slats of the new Robinson bench and the perforated
steel of the Jackson series. The Penn curved table adds a
