Cloud Nine

Cloud Nine

The Cloud Nine line of outdoor furniture intentionally sits slightly lower and closer to the ground than most outdoor furniture to enhance the user’s experience of feeling grounded. Its use of an elastomeric fabric tautly upholstered to the futuristically shaped aluminum frames heightens the sense of total comfort and relaxation as if floating on a cloud.

The Cloud Nine Collection from the new Richard Frinier Collection for Brown Jordan inspire the desire for a hurried world to slow things down and take the time to dream. For his encore collaboration with Brown Jordan, Richard Frinier asked, "What would happen if you had the time to be still and allowed your mind to drift . . . would it feel like you were on cloud nine?"  From this thoughtful question, the design emerged that he simply called Cloud Nine.

Ecookie

Ecookie grew out of observations of how many plastic coffee spoons are used in offices each day. The spoons are used to stir one cup of coffee and then discarded. The Ecookie prevents such waste. It is a cookie in the shape of a spoon: use it to stir your coffee and then dispose of it by eating it.
