Developed for Fortunoff through Agio
An outdoor sectional released in 2017 through Fortunoff Backyard Store — a premium specialty outdoor furniture retailer operating across the northeast US — and designed at Agio against the aluminum-frame outdoor sectional direction that had moved to the front of premium patio retail through the mid-2010s, with Pottery Barn and other specialty channels leading the category toward lighter frames, slatted detailing, and coastal-leaning aesthetics. The collection takes its name from Nantucket — the Massachusetts coastal island known for its shingle-style architecture and weathered, slatted vernacular — and the design carries that coastal language into the modular sectional format the segment had built around.
A hand-brushed aluminum frame holds the structure with the lightness and weather performance the channel expected, while horizontal slats along the back and sides introduce a rhythm that ties the silhouette to the coastal porch railings, ship deck profiles, and beach-house siding the Nantucket reference draws from. The slatting also lifts the visual weight of a substantial sectional — without it, a piece of this scale risks reading as bulk; with it, the back and sides become a layered, breathable composition. Generous seat and back cushions in neutral tones sit within the frame for the deep-seating comfort the deep-seating outdoor sectional category had standardized, and the modular configuration allows the piece to adapt to a range of outdoor layouts.
