LiveSmart Performance Fabrics
LiveSmart technology from Essentials For Living produces stain-resistant, moisture-repellent fabric without harmful chemicals. Low-denier performance yarns are encapsulated with protective finish causing spills to bead on surfaces rather than penetrating fibers. The fabric remains breathable and soft while providing practical durability for homes with children, pets, and frequent use.
Boucle Textures
Multiple pieces feature boucle upholstery with characteristic looped texture creating contemporary appeal. The Bolster, Hover, and Ascend pieces showcase white and pearl boucle in varied applications. This fabric resists pilling while maintaining soft comfort and adding textural dimension that rewards closer inspection.

Leather breathes, offering comfort in varied temperatures while resisting wear. The material suits both traditional and contemporary aesthetics depending on color and finish selection.
Rope Weaving
Hand-woven rope creates distinctive patterns in counter stools and outdoor furniture. Round rope, flat rope, twist rope, and cabana loom techniques produce varied textures and visual interest. Rope construction provides comfortable, breathable seating while connecting contemporary design to traditional craftsmanship. Synthetic materials resist UV damage and moisture, maintaining appearance through years of use.
Rattan Construction
Natural and finished rattan brings organic warmth to furniture designs. Rattan's inherent flexibility allows curved, ergonomic shapes while finishes including antique white provide contemporary appeal. The material suits coastal, bohemian, and organic modern aesthetics.
Metal Frames and Accents
Antiqued gold, aged bronze, brass, and brushed finishes create metallic elements adding visual interest and structural support. These aged finishes suit contemporary and transitional designs while developing character rather than showing wear as defects. The metal construction ensures stability appropriate for daily use.
Solid Wood Construction
Hardwoods including mahogany, ash, oak, birch, walnut, and teak provide structural frames for benches and stools. Finishes ranging from natural gray to light walnut protect wood while showcasing natural grain patterns. Solid wood construction ensures longevity and stability through decades of use.
