Outdoor room

"Nature can leave you speechless sometimes if you let it. I think we underestimate how many pictures our mind can store and how strongly we hold onto these sights and experiences that move us. Whether we realize it or not we are always referring to our personal 'hard-drive' of sensory experience".....Jamie Durie 2006 From "Inspired'.

Verda wants to recreate those visions for your own outdoor living areas so that you can be inspired to live the lifestyle you desire.

Inspiration for the Outdoor Room

The notion of devising structures beyond the immediate house, in which to interact with nature in comfort, is not new. The Egyptians had gazebos nearly 5000 years ago and the Romans, Persians, Chinese and Japanese had their variations to encourage rest and reflection, get in touch with their spiritual leanings, absorb the beauty of their gardens and interact socially.

More recently, the Victorian conservatory sought to subdue the rigours of the climate by filling a largely enclosed, heated room attached to the house, with lush plants grown from seeds and cuttings gathered on exotic adventures.

Initial designs, favoured brick or stone structures with wide glazed areas between columns and a solid roof. However, as western development gathered pace the use of cast iron and cheaper rolled glass allowed architects to design increasingly delicate buildings. This trend was reflected so powerfully in the 1851 Crystal Palace Exhibition in London which provided highly ornate settings for formal tea parties and lover's trysts well into the Edwardian era.

By the 1920s, the cast-iron conservatory had succumbed to frost damage and the ravages of rust.

To some extent developers were also the victims of their own success, as conservatories were being added to smaller and smaller houses until they eventually fell from favour with the affluent. It wasn't until the 1970's that new developments in materials such as float glass and techniques like sealed double-glazing made the conservatory a practical proposition again.

Then, as now, the extent of buffering from the elements by those seeking a closer physical relationship with the natural world was obviously conditioned by climate. However, the desire to blur the line between indoor and outdoor living is an ongoing quest worldwide and has the potential to significantly improve our lifestyle.

Live outside!

This concept is simple: you can live outside as you can live inside. At Verda, this is our motivation. That is why we do our utmost to create products that have all the comfort, durability, security and aesthetic that enable you to live outside over the summers months and more.

Back from the most famous International show about Outdoor and Indoor design based in Paris, "Maison et Objet"( which means "Housing and items"), we can affirm that outdoor design can be as personal as indoor design. New concepts that are developed for outdoor show stunning creativity and products that are compact, integrated and that mix material, keeping in mind that they must be comfortable for users and "eco-friendly. Verda proudly endorses this concept.
