The charms of nostalgia.

A touch of nostalgia

I’M JUST CRAZY about the new Awning Collection of outdoor furniture designed by Celerie Kemble.

Celerie Kemble is one of the hottest interior designers today and principal of Kemble Interiors Inc., the firm founded by her mother in Palm Beach, Florida in 1982. She has written two books, “Celerie Kemble: To Your Taste” and “Black and White (And and Bit in Between).”

Now her signature style is available in a line of outdoor furniture for Venture Lane and available to order through Hauser in Kitchener. The Awning Collection evokes the glamour of Palm Beach of the 50s, whimsical yet sophisticated, with all the technical and practical requirements of furniture for the outdoors. The collection includes chaise lounges, coffee table, end table, console table, dining table, and an arm and side chair. There is also a range of outdoor fabrics for cushions and six finishes available. >>

Chaise Lounges from the Awning Collection of outdoor furnishings by Celerie Kemble add a touch of old-school glamour.
