Minneapolis October 2, 2003 – Naturally handsome outdoor wood furniture from Creative Woodwork International (CWI) will now be available to consumers at Hoigaard's, a leading retailer of outdoor equipment, apparel and home and patio furnishings in the Twin Cities metropolitan area. Hoigaard's will offer both of CWI's Lifewood collections, the European-inspired Veranda collection and the new Lifeware line of modular furniture, for the 2004 season.
"As a specialty retailer, Hoigaard's strives to stay on the leading edge of new products. Veranda is different, and more modern, than the traditional teak furniture we now offer, and Lifeware's imaginative modular design is distinctive," says Todd Brewer, buyer for Hoigaard's. "The exceptional styling and affordable price point of CWI's furniture, plus the fact that its wood is responsibly harvested, will attract new customers and help us expand sales of outdoor wood furniture."
With its exclusive and ingenious modular design, Lifeware enables consumers to select and connect individual chairs and tables to create more than fifty customized seating and dining configurations. The Veranda collection features clean lines and simple elegance and includes more than thirty intriguing styles of benches and armchairs, collapsible seating, loungers and deck chairs, café and dining tables, and dining sets.
