BEYOND TRENDS, BEYOND TIME—ETERNA AS A LIVING ARCHITECTURAL MASTERPIECE
There are collections that follow trends, and there are collections that transcend them. Eterna is the latter. It does not chase the moment—it defines one. A symphony of architectural precision, meticulous craftsmanship, and a modern sensibility that speaks to those who understand that true luxury is measured not in excess, but in execution.
This is not furniture; this is architecture in its purest, most livable form. It is a study in balance, a lesson in restraint, and a celebration of thoughtful design that enhances, rather than overpowers, the spaces it inhabits.
At its heart, Eterna is an architectural story—a narrative of proportion, structure, and timeless refinement. It is the culmination of two creative minds:
- Gary Pettitt, the visionary founder of Seasonal Living, whose global experiences have shaped an intrinsic understanding of balance, precision, and the interplay between form and function.
- Laura Muller, the grand Interior architect and designer, whose mastery of spatial storytelling translates this ethos into a collection that is sculptural and modern, effortless yet deliberate.
Together, they present a collection that is not just outdoor furniture but an architectural composition—a dialogue between past and present, between structure and comfort, between heritage and evolution.
A GLOBAL EYE FOR ARCHITECTURAL DISCIPLINE
Gary Pettitt has spent decades immersed in the world’s most exquisite built environments—spaces where structure is sacred, craftsmanship is an unspoken language, and materiality is carefully considered.
Having lived and traveled across Africa, Asia, and the Americas, his eye for proportion and precision is informed by centuries of architectural mastery. From the ironwork of classical European terraces to the perfectly scaled seating of grand courtyards, Gary has absorbed the artistry of timeless outdoor spaces and interpreted it into a philosophy that informs everything he creates.
But Eterna is not nostalgia—it is evolution. It is a fresh expression of classical form, designed for the way we live today.
This is where Laura Muller steps in. As an award-winning designer, Laura takes this architectural discipline and refines it into a clean, structured collection that feels simultaneously modern and timeless. Her ability to translate classical motifs into sculptural, livable, architectural outdoor furniture is what makes Eterna a masterwork.
PRECISION AND EXECUTION: THE CRAFTSMANSHIP BEHIND ETERNA
Eterna is not simply designed—it is engineered.
Every line, every proportion, every weld is a testament to an obsessive pursuit of perfection.
- The powder-coated aluminum latticework is an exercise in restraint—seamlessly welded with no visible breaks, no interruptions, no compromises. The geometry is precise, the execution flawless.
- The charcoal micro sand finish provides a grounding, sophisticated contrast, ensuring that the collection is as versatile in a Hamptons penthouse as it is in a Mediterranean coastal retreat.
- The deep, contract-grade cushions deliver the indulgent comfort of the finest indoor seating, but with the resilience to withstand the elements. Fast-dry reticulated foam, a discreet cushion wind retention system, and the highest-grade outdoor fabrics ensure that this is a collection built not only for beauty but for performance.
This is not simply furniture. This is a study in modern metalsmithing, in structural integrity, in what happens when engineering and art meet.
ETERNA’S PLACE IN THE WORLD: SPACES OF TIMELESS REFINEMENT
Eterna does not dictate its surroundings; it enhances them. It finds itself at home in the world’s most considered spaces—where architecture is not decoration but definition.
Imagine Eterna in:
- A modern Mediterranean villa, where the crisp black lattice plays against sun-bleached stone and the shimmer of infinity pools overlooking the Aegean.
- A vineyard estate, hosting an intimate gathering beneath twinkling lights and the scent of lavender carried by the wind.
- A Manhattan penthouse terrace, where skyline meets horizon and the weight of the collection holds steady against a Central Park breeze.
- A private English garden fête, where boxwood hedges and sculpted pathways provide the perfect frame for an al fresco evening.
- A wind-swept coastal retreat, where the collection’s engineered stability ensures that elegance remains untouched, even against nature’s strongest forces.
Eterna is designed for those who curate their spaces as meticulously as they curate their lives.
A COLLECTION FOR THOSE WHO UNDERSTAND LUXURY
This is not a collection that demands attention—it commands it.
Eterna is for those who understand that true sophistication is not in excess, but in restraint.
It is luxury without pretense, architecture without rigidity, refinement without compromise.
Eterna is an invitation—to experience design at its most disciplined, to embrace a collection where every line, every proportion, every detail has been considered, honed, and perfected.
This is where precision meets poetry. This is where timelessness is reimagined for a modern world.
