Garden & Balcony — outdoor furniture for the Swiss summer
As soon as the first warm days arrive and the garden season finally begins, the decisive question arises: how do you turn your terrace, your balcony or your garden into the place where you genuinely love to spend time? Good outdoor furniture makes the difference — between an exterior that rarely gets used and one that becomes a second living room.
At livevibe you'll find a curated range of lounge furniture, garden chairs, garden tables, garden benches, parasols, hammocks, outdoor bean bags and outdoor lamps — all weather-resistant, long-lasting and design-oriented. Delivered directly within Switzerland.
Why your choice of outdoor furniture matters
Swiss summers are intense — but short. A few weeks of spring, then the great move outdoors until September. That's exactly why it pays to choose well: materials that withstand UV radiation, rain and the occasional bise without complaint. Designs that will look just as good in three years as they do on day one.
High-quality garden furniture isn't seasonal goods. It's an investment in genuine quality of life — outside, where Swiss spring and summer are at their most beautiful.
Lounge furniture and garden sofa: your garden as a living room
The outdoor lounge range is the centrepiece of any large garden and spacious terrace. Modular sofas, deep armchairs, comfortable ottomans — combinable, weather-resistant and designed so that even after a rainy night they're ready to use without any fuss.
A good garden sofa invites you to linger: morning coffee first thing, the last light in the evening. The outdoor space stops being a place you pass through — and becomes a destination.
For more compact areas: garden chairs and garden benches quickly create seating without needing much space. Combined with a matching garden table, they create a complete outdoor dining area — for family breakfasts, long summer evenings or spontaneous barbecue nights.
Balcony furniture: small space, big feeling
A balcony in Zurich, Winterthur or Bern might measure six square metres — and yet it's one of the most valuable spots in the flat. With the right balcony furniture you make the most of every centimetre.
Compact garden chairs and small tables stack well, don't obstruct the walkway and can be quickly arranged outside. Outdoor bean bags are the flexible option: light, easy to store, surprisingly comfortable — and just as at home on a balcony as on a lawn.
If you feel comfortable on your balcony, you'll use it. That sounds simple — but it's the real difference between furniture you love and furniture you eventually sell on.
Parasols and hammocks: the finishing touch
What's missing when the July sun beats down on the terrace? Shade. A good parasol isn't a luxury — it's what makes the outdoor area truly usable. UV-resistant fabrics, a stable construction, ideally with a pivot arm for extra flexibility.
And for those who like to take it easy: a hammock between two trees or on a clever stand — that's Swiss summer in its purest form. No effort, maximum relaxation.
Outdoor lighting: the evening is part of it
Good outdoor lamps noticeably extend your time on the terrace into the evening. Atmospheric light sources turn an ordinary evening outside into a small experience — and make the garden more than just a daytime destination. Solar-powered options need no cables; battery-powered lights go wherever you need them.
What makes livevibe different?
You're not buying anonymously from a bulk retailer — you're buying from a Swiss shop that knows its range and stands behind the quality. Every product in the outdoor furniture range is hand-picked: weather-resistant, design-oriented and practical.
And if you'd prefer to feel the furniture before you decide: the showroom in Winterthur makes that possible. Selected pieces from the outdoor range are available to experience in person — so you know exactly what's waiting for you on your terrace.
Which outdoor furniture suits my space?
That depends on three things: space, use and material. If you have plenty of room, a lounge set is the best choice. If you're furnishing a balcony, go for compact chairs, a folding table and an outdoor bean bag. If you like it cosy, combine a garden bench, parasol and hammock.
As a rule of thumb: buy furniture you can leave outside — low-maintenance, weather-resistant, robust. Then you'll actually use it. Everything you have to carry in and out every time will eventually end up unused in the basement.
