There's a moment — you know the one — when you sink into a plush poolside lounge at a world-class resort and think: why doesn't my backyard feel like this? The answer, more often than not, comes down to the furniture. And if you've been searching for the piece that transforms your outdoor space from ordinary to extraordinary, La-Fête Design is the brand you've been waiting to discover.
Available exclusively through authorized luxury retailers including MetropolitanDecor.com, La-Fête is the outdoor furniture label that has quietly become the go-to choice for boutique resort hotels, rooftop clubs, upscale spas — and increasingly, the discerning homeowners who want that same level of luxury at home.
The Brand Behind the Aesthetic: La-Fête, The Scene Outdoors
La-Fête Design is a Los Angeles-based company with a philosophy as bold as its furniture: the outdoors deserves the same design integrity as any high-end interior space. Founded and designed by Angie Thornbury, ASID/CID — a certified interior designer with membership in the American Society of Interior Designers — La-Fête was built on the belief that outdoor living should be an experience, not an afterthought.
Thornbury's background in interior design is evident in every piece the brand produces. Rather than following the predictable paths of traditional patio furniture — teak frames, generic cushions, unremarkable profiles — she approached outdoor seating from the inside out, asking what would happen if you gave a luxury resort hotel's lounge aesthetic a permanent home in your garden, on your rooftop deck, or beside your pool.
The result is a collection of sculptural, modular, and utterly distinctive outdoor furniture that has earned placement in boutique hotels, upscale spas, private clubs, and luxury residences across the country.
Manufactured entirely in Valencia, California, La-Fête controls every element of its production — from the patented structural forms to the weatherproof upholstery. It is American-made quality with a design sensibility that rivals the finest European outdoor brands.
What Makes La-Fête Different: The Design Philosophy
Walk past any collection of generic patio furniture and you'll notice a sameness — angular frames, predictable silhouettes, materials that look tired after a single season. La-Fête refuses that compromise on every level.
Patented Sculptural Forms
Every piece in the La-Fête lineup is developed around proprietary, patented forms. These aren't rectangular foam cushions dropped on aluminum frames. They are fully sculpted lounging surfaces — rounded, curved, organically shaped — that look as much like contemporary art as they do furniture.
Lightweight Weatherproof Materials
La-Fête furniture is constructed from lightweight, weatherproof, and recyclable materials engineered specifically for outdoor use. The pieces are resistant to the elements, easy to move, and built to maintain their appearance season after season without the intensive upkeep that wood or metal outdoor furniture demands.
The "Chill White" Canvas
The signature upholstery is what La-Fête calls Chill White — a clean, crisp base that functions as an open canvas. Each piece can be custom embroidered or slip-covered, making the collection ideal for hospitality properties that want to brand their outdoor spaces, and for homeowners who want a piece that can evolve with their taste. Custom color options are also available.
Modularity by Design
One of La-Fête's most compelling features is its deep commitment to modularity. The pieces are designed to be mixed, matched, and reconfigured — creating a genuinely flexible outdoor living system that can be rearranged for intimate evenings, large-scale poolside parties, or anything in between.
Ergonomic Comfort
This is not furniture designed to look at from a distance. La-Fête pieces are engineered for extended use — every curve, angle, and surface is considered for how a body actually rests, reclines, and lounges over hours, not minutes.
The Collection: Products That Will Elevate Your Outdoor Space
The La-Fête collection at MetropolitanDecor.com spans 33 pieces across resort beds, chaise lounges, modular seating, instant cabanas, ottomans, and accessories. Here are the standout pieces worth knowing:
🌊 Resort Beds & Sun Pads — For the Ultimate Pool Moment
La-Fête Playpad 8-Foot Square Resort Bed — $4,400
This is the statement piece. A full eight-foot-square platform lounger, the Playpad is the kind of piece you'd find reserved for VIP guests at a five-star resort — and it can be yours poolside at home. Generous enough for two, sculptural enough to anchor an entire outdoor aesthetic, the Playpad is the definition of resort living brought home. If you're investing in one defining outdoor piece, this is it.
La-Fête Sun Pad Round Resort Bed — $2,250
Circular, sun-worshipping perfection. The Sun Pad's round form is an immediate visual anchor — place it beside a pool, on a deck, or in an open garden and watch how it transforms the entire space. The circular design encourages a more social lounging posture, making it ideal for those long, leisurely afternoon conversations. At $2,250, it delivers resort-level presence at an attainable luxury price point.
La-Fête Playpad 6 Square Resort Bed — $2,400
For spaces where the 8-foot Playpad might be too commanding, the 6-foot version delivers the same sculptural impact in a slightly more intimate scale. Still a statement. Still unmistakably La-Fête.
La-Fête Luxury Crib Queen Resort Bed — $2,900
The Crib brings a queen-bed scale to outdoor lounging — structured, elevated, and utterly luxurious. The raised profile gives it a distinctly hotel-suite quality, as if the indoors and outdoors have finally agreed to meet on equal terms.
☀️ Sun Lounges & Chaise Lounges — The Everyday Luxury Upgrade
La-Fête Wave Chaise Lounge — $1,300
The Wave's name says everything. Its fluid, undulating form captures the spirit of relaxed movement even when perfectly still. This is the chaise lounge for the person who finds conventional pool chairs stiff and uninspiring — a sculptural rethink of what a sun lounge can be.
La-Fête Tide Duo Low Profile Sun Lounge — $1,900
Two low-slung lounging surfaces in one sleek form, the Tide Duo is designed for side-by-side relaxation. Low to the ground, close to the water, and effortlessly cool — it's the poolside companion that pairs perfectly with a cold drink and an afternoon to spare.
La-Fête Surf Low Profile Sun Lounge — $1,100
At $1,100, the Surf is La-Fête's most accessible entry point into the collection without sacrificing a single design principle. Low-profile, lightweight, and shaped like a wave about to crest, it's an ideal starting piece for those discovering the brand for the first time.
La-Fête Cot Resort Daybed — $1,600
The Cot brings a slightly elevated, more structured daybed silhouette — perfect for those who prefer a defined headrest and more traditional lounging posture while still enjoying La-Fête's signature aesthetic and outdoor-engineered materials.
🏖️ Instant Cabana Suites — Your Private Resort, Anywhere
Perhaps the most ambitious category in the La-Fête lineup, the Cabana Suites are complete outdoor room systems — combining resort beds, shade structures, ottomans, and accessories into unified, resort-worthy environments that assemble quickly and deliver instant transformation.
La-Fête Pod Circle Lounge — $4,550
A fully encircled lounge concept, the Pod is La-Fête's most architecturally dramatic piece. It creates a visual enclosure — a sense of inhabiting a defined, special space within your outdoor environment. Hotels use it as a signature poolside destination. At home, it becomes your most talked-about outdoor feature.
La-Fête Spa-Club Now Instant Cabana — $4,410
The Spa-Club suite brings the spa aesthetic home — understated, serene, and deeply considered. If your outdoor space has a wellness orientation — a pool, a hot tub, a meditation garden — the Spa-Club is the furniture environment that completes the picture.
La-Fête Chic Club Cabana Suite — $4,700
Polished, sharp, and undeniably glamorous, the Chic Club is for the outdoor space that takes its aesthetic seriously. This is the cabana suite that reads as intentional design — a fully realized outdoor room with attitude.
La-Fête Pool Club Now Cabana Suite — $4,100
Purpose-built for the pool environment, the Pool Club suite combines function and form in a way that makes poolside lounging feel genuinely elevated. The complete suite setup creates a sense of arrival — guests step into your outdoor space and immediately understand that this is not a typical backyard.
La-Fête Zen-Club Cabana — $9,990
For those investing in a truly premium outdoor transformation, the Zen-Club is La-Fête's most expansive cabana suite. This is resort living in its fullest expression — the outdoor equivalent of a luxury suite. Placed beside a pool or on a large terrace, it creates an environment of rare, enveloping calm.
La-Fête Romp-Club Now Instant Cabana — $10,200
The crown jewel of the collection. At $10,200, the Romp-Club is a complete outdoor destination in itself — a fully realized cabana environment that rivals anything you'd find at a premier resort property. For the outdoor space that is meant to be a genuine lifestyle statement, there is nothing quite like it.
🪑 Modular Seating — The Building Blocks of Your Outdoor Vision
One of La-Fête's most distinctive offerings is its modular seating system, allowing you to design and reconfigure your outdoor space as needs and occasions change.
La-Fête The Ring 5-Piece Set — $3,900
Five pieces that form a complete, circular seating environment — The Ring is at home both outdoors and in interior spaces like clubs and lounges. It creates an immediate sense of community, drawing people together in a natural conversation circle. Ideal for entertaining at a sophisticated scale.
La-Fête Moon Pad Semi-Circle Seat — $1,650
The Moon Pad's crescent form is one of La-Fête's most instantly recognizable silhouettes — organic, soft, and quietly dramatic. Use it solo as an accent seat, or pair multiples to create a fluid, curved seating environment.
La-Fête Goal Modular Corner Seat — $1,300
The cornerstone of any modular La-Fête configuration. The Goal corner module anchors larger seating arrangements and creates the architectural structure that gives La-Fête's modular system its impressive scale and cohesion.
La-Fête Check Deep Lounge Chair — $1,000
Deep-seated and embracing, the Check is the lounge chair for those who genuinely sink in rather than perch. It's La-Fête at its most comfortably domestic — a chair that invites you to stay far longer than you planned.
✨ Ottomans, Floor Pads & Accessories — The Finishing Touches
Great outdoor design lives in the details, and La-Fête's accessory range brings the same design rigor to the smaller pieces that complete an environment.
La-Fête Dot Cylinder Ottoman — $390 and Dot 2 Cube Ottoman — $390 bring sculptural Ottoman forms that work as footrests, side tables, or standalone accent pieces.
La-Fête Footnote Oval Floor Pad — $790 and Note Oval Floor Pad — $900 are sophisticated ground-level lounging surfaces ideal for creating a relaxed, floor-seated environment with a distinctly resort spa feeling.
La-Fête Puck Round Ottoman — $760 and Stand Daybed / Corner Ottoman — $850 add functional versatility — pieces that can shift roles within a space depending on how you need them to perform.
La-Fête Arc Picnic Bench — $880 brings La-Fête's curved design language to a communal seating form — elegant enough for a designed outdoor dining setup, relaxed enough for casual garden gatherings. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
La-Fête Dash Bench — $750 provides a clean, linear accent for entryways, poolside edges, or as a sculptural perch within a larger seating arrangement.
Pillows & Bolsters: Complete your La-Fête setup with the brand's own Tide Pillow ($300), Surf Pillow ($220), and Roll Bolster ($500) — all designed to complement the collection's forms and upholstery seamlessly.
