Enduring Craftsmanship.
Our Outdoor Furniture Collections
Every handcrafted collection we create is inspired by indelible family memories of time spent outdoors. We name pieces for everyone we have loved — family members, treasured friends, an adored childhood pet. The collection of McKinnon and Harris outdoor furniture is like a family, one piece having a relationship to another.
Scout
Clever engineering marries expertly crafted high performance materials in our first-ever folding yacht furniture. With sculptural silhouettes slim enough to effortlessly stow away, the Scout Folding Yacht Collection summons the adventurous spirit of seafarers worldwide. Named for a treasured Massie family picnic boat, honoring a beloved childhood Gordon Setter of the same name.
Thirza
Recalling travels abroad to the region, we’ve always wanted to create a collection inspired by contemporary Mediterranean design. Our Thirza Collection takes notes from mid-century modern and traditional American design as well, expressing its distinct personality through curved, organic shapes and whimsical hand-sculpted details. Thirza is named for primary designer Colin Knight’s mother and grandmother, both artists and craftspeople themselves who inspired his passion for design and handcraft.
deCamp
The first chairs we ever owned were an antique pair that belonged to Polly deCamp Moore, a family friend remembered with great affection. This sleek modern classic of round lines and dramatic angles honors her lasting influence. Elegantly edited in form yet remarkably complex in construction, our deCamp Collection requires precise skill in fabrication from our workshop to meet our exacting standards of quality and comfort.
Beaufort
In our family, it’s hard to imagine an outdoor event without a dog present. We named Beaufort for our beloved childhood Gordon Setter who had a nose for a comfortable seat. We imagined a throne-like chair that would be everyone’s first choice. Comfort was foremost in our minds. It’s a family favorite found in both our co-founders Will and Anne’s home gardens.
duVal
Our original duVal Collection is generously scaled seating designed with the ability to compose large sectional sofa ensembles, or stand separately as individual seats in the garden. Our duVal back design features our signature duVal panel of diagonal treillage set within a stepped architectural framework with bespoke Moorish, Mughal, Persian Star, and Quadrato Panels available.
duVal-Alexander
Our mash-up of two admired branches of our family, we combined the duVal tradition of sectional seating with the modern Alexander aesthetic of a lower back height and slightly more shallow seat depth. Robustly proportioned and linear, the duVal-Alexander repeats our signature duVal panel of treillage, with bespoke options available.
Couper
Remembering the convivial mood of our grandparent’s evening highball, we wanted to design a chair and sofa with arms wide and flat enough to hold a libation. We’ve always been dazzled by Scandinavian mid-century modernism. Named for William Couper, our late 19th century sculptor ancestor, the Couper lends itself to bespoke dimensions.
Fayette
An admired French Art Deco chair inspired our Fayette. We’ve always loved the glamour of the 1930s and that decade's strong connection between luxury and technology. Around a bit earlier, Marquis de Lafayette was the first French friend we ever learned about in school.
Mundy
Drawing inspiration from the chamfered columns at the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, our Mundy Dining Table features light-catching faceted edges and an elegant reveal at the base, simulating a floating column.
Rives
Named for family friend and Virginia diplomat James Rives Childs. A Renaissance man for the ages, he was the world authority on Casanova and Chargé d'Affaires for Morocco during WWII. Our great aunt Ootie, remarkable in her own right, was close pals with Rives and his wife Georgianna. We wanted an inspired story for a very special pair of outdoor chairs.
