Loc Lock

Formed from concrete, with a proprietary etched­con­

crete finish, the Loc Lock bike rack by MD3 is installed

in paving like a bollard, with a simple integrated screw

embedded in its base. The roughly 2¼"­thick eye hook,

which stands 29½" high and 18½" wide, animates

streetscapes and provides secure storage for cyclists.

Available in six colors.

Tribeca

Among new outdoor­seating collections that Italian

manufacturer Pedrali is releasing in the U.S., Tribeca, a

stackable line of chairs and barstools, features powder­

coated tubular steel construction, a seat and backrest

made of easy­to­clean woven polyvinyl chloride (PVC),

and a ’60s­era patio­chair design that’s suitable for

hospitality settings. The collection is available in white,

pink, red, terra­cotta, brown, blue, sage, and green.

Patio

Three years of research led to the fast­drying, fluorocarbon­free design of Patio by Karina Nielsen Rios. The Trevira fabric

collection—the first for outdoor use from manufacturer Kvadrat—is recommended for high­humidity areas such as spas

and indoor pools, and for umbrellas and screens as well as upholstery. The line features a softer­than­average texture

compared with conventional weatherproof fabrics but offers the same durability. Twenty­four colorways are available.
