Thom Filicia Teams Up with Azzurro Living for Stylish Outdoor Furniture Line
A Landmark Partnership in Outdoor Furniture Design
In an exciting development for outdoor living enthusiasts, Azzurro Living has announced a collaboration with renowned designer Thom Filicia. This partnership marks a significant milestone, representing both Azzurro Living's very first designer collaboration and Filicia's inaugural outdoor furniture collection. The partnership aims to redefine outdoor spaces, bringing the elegance and thoughtfulness usually reserved for interior furnishings to outdoor environments.
A Fusion of Design Perspectives
The collaboration between Azzurro Living and Thom Filicia brings together complementary design philosophies. Both entities hold a strong belief that outdoor spaces deserve the same level of sophistication and personality as indoor areas. The aim is to blur the conventional lines between indoors and outdoors, utilizing materials and designs that feel refined, yet are accessible, comfortable, and suitable for everyday use.
Brandon Kershner, Partner and Vice President of Design at Azzurro Living, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, "Working with Thom has felt incredibly natural from the beginning. We understand each other's aesthetic, but we also challenge each other in ways that make the work more interesting. Thom brings an incredible depth of design knowledge that feels completely at home within Azzurro. For our first design partnership, I can't imagine a better person—or friend—to help us push outdoor furniture forward."
Comfortably Chic: A New Outdoor Aesthetic
Thom Filicia, whose design expertise spans residential and commercial interiors, as well as various home furnishings, emphasizes the blend of comfort and aesthetic appeal in this new range. He remarked, "We wanted to create outdoor furniture that feels every bit as thoughtfully designed as the best pieces you'd put inside your home. It’s about bringing the inside out—where comfort, sophistication, and livability all exist in the same piece. Great design should make you want to stay for one more cup of coffee in the morning or another glass of wine at night."
The upcoming collections promise to showcase unique sculptural silhouettes, natural textures, and a mixture of materials that elevate the outdoor experience. With every detail meticulously considered—from proportions to finishes—the furniture aims to create an inviting atmosphere.
A Shift in Outdoor Living
As our ways of living evolve, so too has the experience of outdoor spaces. Kershner notes, "The way people live outdoors has fundamentally changed. We've always believed in designing outdoor spaces with an indoor mentality—thinking about comfort, proportion, materiality, and the emotional connection people have with the furniture they live with. Thom shares that philosophy. Together, we're creating pieces meant to become part of people's lives, serving as the backdrop for memorable moments."
Founded in 2020, Azzurro Living has rapidly established itself as a leader in luxury outdoor furniture. Their unique approach combines original designs with honest materials and meticulous craftsmanship, aiming for a harmonious balance of bold silhouettes and refined details.
Debuting at High Point Market
The new Thom Filicia x Azzurro Living collection is set to debut at the prestigious High Point Market, located in Azzurro Living's Broad Hall showroom from October 17-21, 2026. Attendees will have their first look at this groundbreaking collection, complete with product imagery and details to be announced soon.
This exciting collaboration between Thom Filicia and Azzurro Living is not just about creating furniture; it’s about reshaping how people perceive and utilize their outdoor spaces. As we embrace this new trend toward sophisticated outdoor living, the future looks bright for stylish and comfortable al fresco experiences.
