About Arren Williams
If Arren Williams were to walk through one of those new scanners at the airport, security personnel might be surprised to see chairs, tables and lamps floating around in his head. As one of Canada’s top stylists, editors and trend reporters, he is always on the hunt for the next great find that could take a room from blah to spectacular.
Spring Means Summer
design diary: ikea hasselön patio set canada
(Mar.09.11)
A sure sign that spring is on the way – apart from wildly unpredictable weather – is hearing that IKEA has launched their outdoor collection and that it’s making its way into the stores.
For me it’s a lovely herald of warmer days to come and, since I’m hoping to actually have a stab at re-doing our back yard this summer, it’s also a brilliant spot to source outdoor furniture and accessories at a smashing price. The verdant snap above shows their new Hasselön dining set in a refreshing mix of white and wood, and feels right on-trend for the season. The set has been designed with hits of durable Eucalyptus wood on the arms of the chairs as well as on the table surface, while the rest is a combo of an all-white aluminum frame and a mesh seat and back on the chairs. It looks like the perfect outdoorsy spot to enjoy a chilled glass of rosé at the end of a lovely sunny day.
Roll on summer!
