Outdoor Delights

The way we use our outdoor spaces is changing rapidly. We know that time spent outdoors is good for our mental and physical wellbeing, hence the huge surge in popularity for outdoor living. Cool lighting and heating mean we can be outside whatever the weather. We also understand that for the discerning cook, food preparation outdoors is no longer simply a case of firing up the BBQ. So if cooking and dining outdoors is your thing, we’ve got you. You don’t need to be James Martin to have your own outdoor kitchen, whatever the size of your space.

At Funktion Alley we have all you need to help you design a super cool area that will be both stylish and practical. This is an investment not just in your home, but also in yourself. Your outdoor area will be unique, long-lasting and a sanctuary where you will love to spend your time.

Design is key, and the String Outdoor shelving system, made from galvanised steel, has all you need to organise your space. Not only is it super stylish (as you would expect from this iconic Swedish brand), but just as with their indoor shelving systems, you can design your outdoor system to fit your space perfectly. Use it to house your kitchen equipment, to display your favourite plants or to hold your outdoor plates, cups, glasses and bottles. The metal shelves with high and low edges have great character and plenty of storage possibilities, whilst the galvanised material changes over time and leaves you with a beautiful patina.



Teak furniture is timeless, weathers well and is so so stylish. The Ethnicraft Circle dining table is made from solid teak and is all about inspiring your loved ones to spend more time at the table. Its solid legs intertwine in perfect balance, and are based on traditional Chinese puzzles. The top is made from separated planks to allow for environmental changes, meaning your table will weather beautifully and will make outdoor dining a pleasure. The table is available in two sizes 

Complement your designer look with the Bok teak dining chair, bringing structural elegance and contemporary craftsmanship to your outdoors. The chairs are comfortable and are set to become iconic design pieces.

To add a bit of colour and display space to even the smallest of plots, Ferm Living have taken their popular Plant Box to new heights with their two tier console table. It has the same sleek lines we know you’ll recognise from the series but in a new configuration. The upper tray and the lower shelf are ideal for showing off your plants and for storing practical everyday items such as plates and cups, whilst the slim silhouette means it will enhance even the smallest of spaces. The powder coated galvanised iron looks good and wears well out doors.

For those who prefer to lounge whilst somebody else does the cooking we have the perfect luxury design: the Skagerak Riviera Sunbed.

 With his Riviera Sunbed, designer Povl B. Eskildsen brings form and function together. He designed the Riviera in 1990 with the ambition to create a versatile and stylish outdoor solution. The result is a classic, appreciated the world over for its flexibility and straightforward appearance. The slatted design can be adjusted in length from coffee table to bench to sunbed with adjustable back rest. The Riviera becomes even more stylish when adding the optional cushion. All you need now is a good book and a cool drink!

In short, it no longer has to be summer for us to entertain and relax outside. Whatever your space, the possibilities are endless. Your dream garden will become an extension of your home and the place to be. Once you have built your outdoor area, we guarantee you won’t be going back indoors until bedtime.

You might wish you’d kept it to yourself!!
