Vondom outdoor furniture is now available through MSI London, an official Vondom dealer in London, with our first edit focused on the Africa and Gatsby collections.
The selection brings together the Africa Sofa XL, Africa Lounge Chairs, Gatsby tables and Gatsby planters in a soft palette of Tortora, Ecru Fisterra, Ecru Stone, Clay and Cream. Together, these pieces show how Vondom can create a complete outdoor setting, from lounge seating to tables and planters.
For MSI London, the strongest outdoor furniture is not the loudest furniture. It is furniture that feels refined up close, works practically outside and sits naturally within the landscape. That is why Vondom stood out. The Africa and Gatsby pieces have the comfort and finish expected from high-end furniture, while their soft, organic forms work with planting, stone, timber and natural light rather than overpowering them.
There is also a calmness to the way the pieces are made. The forms feel continuous and clean, without the visual interruption of multiple joined parts. They are clearly designed with precision, but they do not feel harsh or overly engineered.
MSI London can source the full Vondom range for trade and private clients, with samples, finishes and catalogues available to view at our North London showroom by appointment.
Why We Chose Vondom Outdoor Furniture
We chose Vondom because it solves a problem we see often: outdoor furniture that looks good online, but does not always feel refined in person.
When the Africa and Gatsby pieces arrived at the showroom, the difference was obvious. The comfort, fabric quality, colour palette and finishing details all stood out immediately. The pieces have the practicality required for outdoor use, but the look and feel are closer to indoor furniture than typical garden furniture.
That has been the reaction from other people too. Several people who saw the pieces in the showroom were surprised they were outdoor pieces at all. The fabric feels refined, the forms are sleek, and the branding is discreet but beautifully done.
I am in the showroom daily, and I keep finding my eyes drawn back to the pieces. They are sitting in a room full of indoor furniture, yet they do not feel out of place. The collection could sit inside or outside, and that is what makes them so compelling. The pieces have the durability of outdoor furniture, but the calm, well-finished presence of pieces chosen for the main home.
That is the standard MSI London looks for when adding a brand to the showroom.
seating in a soft neutral palette.
Vondom Outdoor Furniture That Feels Considered
One of the reasons MSI London wanted to introduce Vondom is that outdoor furniture is often the weakest part of a high-end home scheme.
A client may invest carefully in sofas, dining furniture, lighting, rugs and finishes inside the home, only for the outdoor space to feel disconnected. The garden or terrace may be practical, but not as carefully specified as the rest of the property.
Vondom helps solve that. The pieces are sleek and suitable for outdoor use, but they still have the finesse expected from high-end furniture. They allow an outdoor space to feel connected to the rest of the home, rather than like an afterthought.
This matters for both private clients and designers. Outdoor spaces are now used for more than occasional summer seating. They are places for entertaining and spending proper time at home. The furniture needs to be practical, but it also needs to feel good to live with.
Outdoor Furniture With an Indoor Level of Finish
The biggest surprise with Vondom is the finish.
The Africa seating does not have the hard, temporary feel often associated with outdoor furniture. The cushions feel comfortable, the fabric has texture, and the colour palette looks elevated in person. It gives the impression of proper lounge furniture, with the durability required for outside.
The pricing is also strong compared with a lot of luxury outdoor furniture, particularly when you consider the finish and design detail. It gives clients access to a high-end outdoor look without feeling unrealistic for the level of product being specified.
For clients looking for luxury outdoor furniture in London, MSI London offers a way to explore Vondom pieces and samples in person before specifying or ordering.
finishes for outdoor furniture.
The MSI London Vondom Outdoor Furniture Edit
The first MSI London Vondom outdoor furniture edit focuses on two collections: Africa and Gatsby.
Africa provides the seating. Gatsby completes the setting with tables and planters.
That combination is important because seating alone rarely makes an outdoor space feel finished. A sofa and chairs create comfort, but tables and planters make the space work properly. They give the layout structure, create places to gather and help the scheme feel intentional.
The edit includes the Africa Sofa XL in Tortora with Ecru Fisterra padding, Africa Lounge Chairs in Tortora with Ecru Fisterra cushions, Gatsby tables in Tortora with Ecru Stone tops, and Gatsby planters in Clay, Tortora and Cream.
The palette was chosen because it feels soft, warm and easy to place. Tortora gives depth without feeling dark. Ecru Fisterra keeps the seating light. Ecru Stone works well for the table tops, while Clay and Cream add variation through the planters.
This is not a loud outdoor edit. It is calm, balanced and practical, which makes it easier to use across different gardens, terraces and residential projects.
Vondom Outdoor Furniture in Tortora, Ecru, Clay and Cream
The colour palette is one of the reasons this edit works so well. Outdoor furniture can easily become too bright, too stark or too visually heavy. The finishes selected for MSI London are more adaptable.
Tortora is a particularly useful finish because it feels warmer than grey but more architectural than beige. It gives the Africa and Gatsby pieces a soft neutral base. Ecru Fisterra and Ecru Stone keep the overall look light, while Clay and Cream add enough variation to stop the scheme feeling flat.
For designers, this makes the edit easier to specify. It offers a complete look, but it can also be adapted depending on the project.
Africa Sofa XL in Tortora and Ecru Fisterra
The Africa Sofa XL is the main seating piece in the MSI London Vondom edit.
Our selected version is in Tortora with Ecru Fisterra padding. The combination gives the sofa a warm neutral appearance, with enough softness to feel inviting and enough structure to look tailored.
The proportions are generous, but the sofa does not feel heavy. That is one of the strongest parts of the design. Outdoor sofas can easily look oversized or clumsy, especially on terraces where space is more limited. The Africa Sofa XL feels substantial without becoming visually bulky.
Its rounded form also works well outdoors. It avoids the boxy look that can make some outdoor sofas feel too rigid, and it does not sit harshly against planting or landscaping. The shape feels relaxed, but still precise.
It works well as the anchor piece for an outdoor lounge setting. Paired with Africa Lounge Chairs and Gatsby tables, it creates a comfortable seating area for entertaining, everyday use and longer summer evenings outside.
Why the Africa Sofa XL Works
The Africa Sofa XL works because it is simple, but not basic.
It has a rounded, easy shape that feels relaxed, yet the overall look remains clean. It does not rely on decorative framing or heavy detailing. That makes it versatile, especially for projects where the outdoor furniture needs to support the space rather than dominate it.
It is a strong choice for clients who want an outdoor sofa that feels generous and comfortable without visually weighing down the space. It looks refined enough for a luxury home, but it is designed for outdoor use. That combination is exactly what clients often struggle to find when looking beyond standard garden furniture.
Africa Lounge Chair in Tortora and Ecru Fisterra
The Africa Lounge Chair is one of the strongest pieces in the edit.
It has comfort, but it does not feel bulky. It has shape, but it does not look overdesigned. In Tortora with an Ecru Fisterra cushion, it feels soft, tonal and easy to place.
The chair is easy to specify because it works in different settings. A pair can sit opposite the Africa Sofa XL as part of a complete outdoor lounge scheme. One chair can also sit on its own in a smaller terrace, balcony or garden corner where a single strong piece needs to do more.
That flexibility is useful. Good outdoor furniture should not only work in one perfect layout. It should be able to adapt to real spaces, especially when designers are working with different garden sizes and client requirements.
Comfort That Makes the Space Usable
The comfort of the Africa Lounge Chair is one of the reasons it stood out in the showroom.
Outdoor chairs can sometimes look good but feel too upright or temporary. The Africa Lounge Chair has a more relaxed feel, which makes the outdoor space more usable. It encourages people to sit properly, not just perch for a short time.
The organic shape also helps the chair sit naturally within an outdoor setting. It has enough curve to soften a terrace or paved area, while still feeling clean and contemporary. This is where Vondom is especially strong: the pieces are sculptural, but they do not feel like objects placed into a garden for effect.
That matters commercially too. Clients are more likely to invest in outdoor furniture when they can see and feel the difference in person. The Africa Lounge Chair makes that difference clear.
Gatsby Tables in Tortora and Ecru Stone
The Gatsby tables turn the Africa seating into a usable outdoor lounge setting.
MSI London has selected two Gatsby table options: a Tortora table with a 40x25cm base and 79cm Ecru Stone top, and a Tortora table with a 40x40cm base and 50cm Ecru Stone top.
These pieces work well with the Africa seating because they continue the same soft palette. The Tortora base links back to the seating, while the Ecru Stone tops keep the setting light.
The tables are practical, but they also add shape to the layout. They create somewhere for drinks, food, books and everyday use. In an outdoor lounge setting, that makes a real difference.
Gatsby Tables for Hosting and Everyday Use
Gatsby is designed by Ramón Esteve and takes inspiration from Art Deco and the glamour of the Roaring Twenties. Vondom describes the collection as combining intricate design with extraordinary simplicity, which is a good way to understand why the pieces work.
The Gatsby tables do not look overly decorative, but they have enough detail to feel designed. They bring a more architectural element to the Vondom outdoor furniture edit, balancing the softer forms of the Africa seating.
For clients who entertain at home, tables are essential. They turn a seating area into a place people can actually use. This is why Gatsby works so well alongside Africa. Africa gives the comfort; Gatsby makes the setting practical.
They are ideal for completing an outdoor lounge setting where the seating needs practical support without adding visual clutter.
Gatsby Planters in Clay, Tortora and Cream
The Gatsby planters are just as important as the tables because they help frame the outdoor setting.
MSI London has selected the Gatsby High Cylinder 400×800 in Clay, the Gatsby Cylinder Planter 600 in Tortora, and the Gatsby Cylinder Planter 400 in Cream.
Planters can change how an outdoor seating area feels. They add height, soften harder surfaces and help connect the furniture back to the garden. They are especially useful for terraces, entrances and paved outdoor areas where planting needs to bring softness and height.
The selected colours work with the rest of the edit. Clay adds warmth, Tortora ties back to the seating and table bases, and Cream lifts the overall palette.
Gatsby Planters for Structure and Finish
A finished outdoor space needs more than seating and a table. It needs layers.
The Gatsby planters add that extra layer. They help create structure around the Africa seating and make the edit feel complete. This is especially useful for clients who want a polished outdoor space but do not want it to feel overdesigned.
The cylindrical forms work well with planting because they feel strong without being harsh. They bring height and rhythm, but they still allow greenery to lead. Used well, the planters help the whole setting feel more connected to the landscape.
The planters can also be used beyond this specific edit. They would work well in entrance areas, terraces, garden lounges and hospitality-style outdoor spaces.
The Design Philosophy Behind Africa
The Vondom Africa collection is designed by Eugeni Quitllet. Vondom describes Africa as a collection that captures the essence of simplicity and originality, with pieces that combine beauty and functionality.
“The most original thing is to be simple”
Africa is not trying to be the loudest outdoor furniture collection. It is simple and easy to understand, but it still has character. That is why it works in real outdoor spaces.
A garden already has movement and atmosphere. Furniture does not need to compete with that. Africa works because it adds comfort and shape without taking over the setting.
Why Africa Fits the MSI London Edit
Africa forms the seating foundation of the first Vondom edit at MSI London.
It brings comfort, softness and a relaxed shape. It also gives the edit a more residential feel, which is important. Some outdoor furniture can feel too commercial or too hard-edged for private homes. Africa has enough polish for a luxury project, but it still feels inviting.
The organic forms are a key part of that. They allow the furniture to sit within a garden or terrace naturally, rather than making the outdoor space feel overly designed. The pieces have enough presence to feel special, but they still let the landscape do its job.
This is why it is the right starting point for MSI London. It shows Vondom outdoor furniture in a way that is easy for designers and clients to understand. It is practical and visually strong without being difficult to place.
Gatsby and the Art of Completing the Scheme
Gatsby plays a different role from Africa.
While Africa provides the seating, Gatsby brings the tables and planters that make the outdoor space feel finished. This makes the edit more useful because it shows how Vondom can be specified as a complete setting, not just as individual pieces.
Designed by Ramón Esteve, the Gatsby collection has an Art Deco influence, but the pieces still feel clean and adaptable. That is one of the reasons they work well in this edit. They add interest, but they do not distract from the softness of the Africa seating.
How Gatsby Works Alongside Africa
The Gatsby pieces create function and structure around the Africa seating.
The tables make the space easier to use. The planters bring height and definition. Together, they help the outdoor area feel complete rather than simply furnished.
This is also where the edit becomes more commercially useful. A client may first be drawn to the sofa or lounge chairs, but the tables and planters are what make the scheme feel finished. They show how the pieces can work together in a real garden or terrace.
The balance between Africa and Gatsby is what makes the MSI London edit strong. Africa softens the setting. Gatsby gives it structure. Together, they create an outdoor space that feels designed, but still natural.
Vondom Outdoor Furniture Samples and Finishes at MSI London
Samples are important when choosing outdoor furniture.
Colours change in natural light, and finishes can look very different beside planting, stone, timber or render. This is why seeing the Vondom samples in person is useful, especially for designers specifying furniture as part of a wider project.
At MSI London, clients and designers can view Vondom fabric books, polyethylene colour finishes, table top samples and catalogues by appointment.
Why Samples Matter for Outdoor Schemes
The sample process makes it easier to understand the quality of Vondom outdoor furniture.
The fabrics, colours and finishes are difficult to judge properly online. In person, the level of detail becomes clearer. This was one of the things we noticed immediately when the pieces arrived in the showroom.
The fabrics did not feel like standard outdoor material. The colours were soft and considered. The finishes felt elevated.
For interior designers, that detail matters. Outdoor furniture often needs to connect with the rest of a project, and small finish decisions can affect the whole scheme. The tone of a cushion or finish of a table top all make a difference.
The showroom gives those details space to be properly considered.
top and sculptural base.
Rotational Moulding and the Vondom Material Story
Vondom is also known for its production methods.
Many of the brand’s pieces are made using rotational moulding, a process that allows furniture to be formed in smooth, sculptural shapes. This helps create the seamless finish that gives Vondom outdoor furniture its distinctive look.
The pieces do not feel like traditional assembled garden furniture. They feel more architectural, with clean forms and a strong silhouette.
Why the Finish Feels Different
The material story matters because it affects how the furniture looks in a space.
A smooth, seamless form feels calmer than furniture with lots of visible joins or unnecessary detail. It allows the shape to read clearly against planting and architecture.
Vondom describes pieces from the Gatsby collection as being made from polyethylene resin by rotational moulding, suitable for indoor and outdoor use and 100% recyclable. This gives the brand substance beyond appearance.
Source the Full Vondom Outdoor Furniture Range Through MSI London
Africa and Gatsby are the first Vondom collections featured online at MSI London, but the full Vondom range can be sourced through the showroom.
This gives designers and clients more flexibility. A project may need lounge seating, dining furniture, planters, poolside pieces or a different finish direction. Some schemes may need something soft and neutral, while others may need a more sculptural or colourful statement.
MSI London can help source the right Vondom outdoor furniture collection and finish for each project.
Beyond Africa and Gatsby
The wider Vondom range includes collections with different materials, shapes and design directions.
For example, Fusta by Ramón Esteve introduces solid teak into the range, giving a warmer and more natural feel. Mel, also by Ramón Esteve, has a more sculptural character, with enveloping forms and a continuous tubular language.
This variety is useful because not every outdoor project needs the same solution. A family garden, roof terrace, hotel courtyard or poolside area may all require different pieces.
The Africa and Gatsby edit is a starting point. It shows the direction of the brand and gives clients a way to see Vondom through MSI London. From there, the wider range can be explored through samples, catalogues and showroom appointments.
Vondom Outdoor Furniture for Trade and Private Clients
MSI London works with trade clients sourcing furniture for residential and commercial projects. Private clients are also welcome to explore Vondom through the showroom.
For trade clients, Vondom outdoor furniture offers strong specification potential. The finish range is wide, samples are available to view, and the collections can be used across private homes, terraces, gardens and hospitality-style settings.
Lead times are practical, although they can vary depending on collection, finish and order date.
Trade Pricing, Samples and Specification Support
Through MSI London, trade clients can enquire about Vondom trade pricing, samples and specification support. MSI London can also assist with order management, delivery and installation.
For homeowners, Vondom is ideal for outdoor spaces where standard garden furniture does not feel carefully specified enough. The pieces feel well-finished, comfortable and suitable for long-term use.
A showroom appointment gives clients the chance to see samples in person and compare finishes properly. This is especially helpful when choosing outdoor furniture for a home or project where the pieces need to feel connected to the wider scheme.
The aim is simple: to make outdoor furniture feel as considered as the furniture chosen for inside the home.
