What is a design icon, exactly? True icons are distinctive in their excellence, like a Rolex Submariner. They’re immediately recognizable, like a Hermès Kelly bag. They’re emblematic of a style or philosophy, like the Saarinen Tulip table. They’re beautiful, useful, timeless, and honored worldwide.
As the premier brand of luxury outdoor furniture for the past 75 years, Brown Jordan has created more than a few icons of its own: stand-out collections that have ascended to become part of the American design lexicon—and have inspired the next generation of equally iconic, award-winning designs. Here, we’re spotlighting five of the most influential Brown Jordan designs, with insight from Chief Brand Curator, Stephen Elton.
