U.K.-based furniture brand Rupert Bevan is stepping outside with the launch of its first outdoor furniture collection. The Clement Garden Table, Bench and Chair mark a considered extension of the brand’s signature sensibility into the garden.
THE CLEMENT GARDEN TABLE
The Clement Table is certainly the centerpiece of the collection — a D-end dining table that comfortably seats eight Clement Chairs, its softened form as practical as it is visually refined. The top is constructed on a substrate of Tricoya board — an exceptionally weather-resistant engineered timber — which is finished in mottled zinc, drawing on Rupert Bevan’s longstanding expertise in metal wrapping and patinated surfaces. The finish is, by nature, alive. Its mottled character will shift with use and exposure, deepening and evolving over time. A zinc edge banding encapsulates the top, detailed with a decorative scallop — a motif that recurs throughout the RB Collection. Beneath, a powder-coated steel frame provides the structure. It is deliberately simple, a considered restraint that keeps attention on the surface above.
THE CLEMENT GARDEN CHAIR
The Clement Garden Chair takes the flowing lines of the Clement collection and softens them further through more generous proportions intended for lounging. The lower stance and deeper cushions encourage a more relaxed way of sitting, whether positioned beside a pool, on a terrace or within a garden room. Finished in a hard-wearing powder coating, the frame is designed for outdoor durability while retaining a refined, almost delicate appearance.
THE CLEMENT GARDEN BENCH
Following the popularity of the Clement Dining Chair, the Clement Dining Bench was introduced as a natural extension of the collection’s spirit. Both share the table’s material logic and quiet confidence: steel frames with a matt powder-coated finish, forms that are sculptural and yet entirely functional.
Together, the three pieces bring Rupert Bevan’s characteristic restraint and rigour to the outdoors.
