LIBBY LANGDON, INTERIOR DESIGNER, author, and television personality, is designing her first line of outdoor furniture for NorthCape, a leading manufacturer of woven outdoor furniture, set to launch at the July ICFA Preview Show™. Known for her easy, elegant, everyday style and her growing collections of branded home furnishings, Langdon focuses on offering beautifully made products that are sleek and chic, as well as affordable.

Langdon says, “I wanted to design my own outdoor collection because it is such an important part to the majority of homes I design, and I want to show people how to take advantage and utilize all of their outdoor spaces. It’s amazing, when I place multiple sofas, chairs, tables, ottomans, rugs, outdoor lamps, and accessories, that people start to see how much square footage they would have wasted if they just added a couple of chairs and a table.” Langdon’s NorthCape introductions will feature three collections, including a chat group, a dining group, and a deep seating group.

Langdon’s presentation at a conference was the initial step toward her partnership with NorthCape. When Buzz Homsy, president of Casual Classics, heard Langdon’s ideas about outdoor living, he contacted her. They found they had the same vision of creating a dynamic collection of outdoor furniture. Homsy introduced Langdon to the NorthCape team in July 2015, forming a partnership to create Langdon’s designs in time for this July’s show. Casual Classics will be offering its North American dealers the Libby Langdon Outdoor collection.

Tom Murray, president of NorthCape, says, “When Buzz mentioned that there might be an interesting opportunity for NorthCape to enhance our program, working with a high-energy, successful, experienced designer, I was immediately intrigued. When I met Libby, I knew we were onto something good; her style direction, ideas, and energy are infectious. We are eager to put her creative insights and designs into production, helping our dealers deliver stronger casual-furniture sales and margins.” Langdon’s designs will feature clean lines and beautiful fabrics and color combinations, as well as focusing on offering comfort, value, and a designer look.
