Since 1978, Summer Classics has crafted outdoor furniture that combines timeless design with lasting performance. Beginning with a core vision to merge beauty and durability, the brand has become a benchmark in luxury outdoor furnishings—bringing refined style outdoors while designing for the elements.
Founded by entrepreneur Bew White, Summer Classics was born with a mission: to offer elevated outdoor furniture that defies seasonal wear while providing stable employment in its community. From its roots, the brand’s philosophy has centered on marrying form, function, and engineering—seeking to exceed expectations in both aesthetics and performance.
sets Summer Classics apart is its careful approach to material selection, craftsmanship, and outdoor performance. Their outdoor upholstery is crafted in North Carolina by skilled American artisans, combining comfort and durability in every design. The brand prioritizes materials like teak, cast aluminum, exclusive resin wicker, and their proprietary “N-Dura” wood to ensure furniture maintains strength and beauty under the elements.
While known primarily for traditional outdoor styles, Summer Classics continues to push boundaries. In recent seasons, the brand has intensified its focus on design, launching new collections beyond the typical outdoor season to expand its aesthetic reach. Their teams look beyond short-lived trends toward pieces that feel timeless yet contemporary—a balance of heritage and innovation.
In our eyes, Summer Classics embodies everything Lumens stands for—design integrity, artisanal care, and pieces that elevate daily experience. Their furniture doesn’t just endure the elements; it exists in harmony with them. With Summer Classics, we offer our clients outdoor settings that feel elevated, comfortable, and enduring.
