The Case Furniture Eos collection is lightweight and distinctly contemporary-looking. Named after the Greek goddess of dawn and bringer of light, the collection inspires leisurely outdoor living and dining during long, bright sunny days. This award-winning outdoor furniture collection has refreshingly clean and crisp proportions that bring effortless class to your outdoor space. 

Eos: Modern and functional garden furniture


Case Furniture is a brand that believes good design should value both style and function in equal measures whilst also being accessible to everyone. They have made it their mission to work with the best designers in the business, sourcing quality materials and utilising modern manufacturing techniques to bring timeless, well-designed pieces into homes around the globe.


The Eos collection was designed for Case Furniture by Matthew Hilton. With a prestigious career spanning over three decades, Hiton’s furniture designs focus on craftsmanship, with an emphasis on liveability. This quality can be seen in his creation of Eos. It's extremely functional, lives up to its purpose as garden furniture and looks extremely stylish whilst doing so.


 The collection was awarded the Design Guild Mark Award in 2016. This is an award that recognises the highest standard of British design and innovation. It’s easy to see why. From its high-quality, sleek finish to its well-thought-out proportions and functionality, Matthew Hilton’s design is timeless and well crafted. Ten years later, Eos continues to be relevant, proving that it’s an excellent garden furniture range to invest in. 

What makes Eos such a well-designed collection?


Lightweight proportions:


Characterised by clean lines and neat proportions, the Eos collection is both physically and visually light. This means it can be repositioned easily and doesn’t take up any unnecessary space. The chairs are also designed to be stackable, which is a great advantage for households who enjoy entertaining or who often have guests round.


The collection answers to modern living requirements where spaces are rarely static. Eos’ adaptable nature means spaces can be flexible, allowing homeowners to reconfigure their garden setup as needed. Seating arrangements can be added to or stored away with ease, lounge areas can move around with the sun, or space can be saved when furniture is not in use.

Durable and weather resistant:


Eos pieces are crafted from powder-coated aluminium. Not only is aluminium strong, it is also naturally resistant to corrosion making it one of the most reliable materials to use for garden furniture. This is especially beneficial with the UK’s unpredictable climate.


The coloured powder coating improves Eos’ durability even further, creating a smooth, hard-wearing finish that does not chip easily or fade in the sun. This makes the collection very low maintenance, needing very little upkeep.


Timeless design:


Matthew Hilton designed Eos with a well-balanced, minimalistic appeal. It's the kind of design that instantly upgrades the aesthetic of a space but does not follow trends. The pieces do not shout for attention or compete with other objects, instead working in harmony with their surroundings.


As outdoor furniture is an investment, choosing something timeless and functional means you get more value for money. You can be sure this is a collection that won’t feel outdated or fall out of fashion the year after it’s bought.


Sustainability is also an aspect of timeless design. Eos pieces remain visually appealing and structurally sound year after year, avoiding the cycle of replacement driven by changing taste or bad-quality design. This not only reduces waste, but it also means you get the most from your garden furniture, as it stays with you throughout the years. 

An extensive collection:


Case Furniture’s Eos collection includes everything you need for making the most of any occasion in the garden. For those who love entertaining and hosting alfresco dinners, there are various sized tables that pair with chairs or armchairs to create stylish dining settings. For relaxing after dinner or sunbathing during the day, there are lounge chairs and sun loungers.


The collection includes Eos Garden Sofas and Sofa Armchairs, all with soft, comfortable cushions. If you like to enjoy an evening drink as the sun sets, Eos includes a bar table with stools. There is even an Eos Picnic House to create an ideal spot for informal lunches. The whole collection is designed to fit together seamlessly, allowing you to create cohesive layouts across your garden. Customise even further with matching cushions

How to style the Eos collection in your garden?


The contemporary design of Eos garden furniture makes it particularly well suited to contemporary spaces and minimalistic outdoor settings; however, because of its understated nature, pieces also work in gardens with more elaborate landscaping. Below are some styling ideas to get you inspired. 

The flexible family garden:


One of Eos’ biggest strengths is that it is adaptable. Start with a zoned dining area on a patio with the idea that chairs can be stacked when not in use. If the mood takes you onto the lawn, everything can be repositioned with ease.


Monochrome modern garden:


To complement Eos’ modern aesthetic, create a dramatic look by choosing pieces in black. This works well against darker stained decking or charcoal paving. Use deep green planting to lift the scene – think ferns, grasses and evergreen shrubs. This creates contrasting textures whilst enhancing the clean lines of Eos’ design. 

Compact urban balcony:


Because the Eos collection has neat proportions and a minimal design, it works extremely well in smaller spaces. On a balcony, place Eos chairs round a small Eos table to create a streamlined dining area. Think about choosing a lighter colour to open the area up and keep planting vertical rather than adding large pots. We’ve curated an Eos Balcony Set and Eos Bistro Set, ideal for small spaces.


Relaxed Mediterranean courtyard:


Eos doesn’t only suit contemporary environments. It also works well in softer, sunny terraces or open patios. Pair the rust colour with terracotta pots and natural stone, adding herbs and lush planting. The design does not compete with other elements, meaning you can pair it with plenty of warmth and texture. Double points here if you situate it beside a pool. 

Award-winning design in your garden


Case Furniture’s Eos collection brings award-winning outdoor furniture design to your garden. It’s a contemporary collection that instantly elevates any space it sits within.
