Simplicity, clarity and logic were the design principles that guided Alfred Homann when developing the AH Outdoor series , where all superfluous details were eliminated in favor of simple expression and great functionality. The series consists of eleven pieces of furniture, including dining tables and chairs, a bench, living room tables and chairs and a lounge chair, all of which can be mixed and matched to suit individual needs.

The AH Outdoor series features a rigorous aesthetic combined with Homann's sense of soft forms – as evidenced by the beautifully curved armrests, backs and seats, where the braces elegantly enclose the frame. These joints are meticulously hand polished by the skilled craftsmen of Carl Hansen & Son, to achieve a smooth and tactile surface. All tables and chairs can be stacked for easy storage when not in use, exemplifying Homann's attention to detail and understanding of form and function.

The new AH Outdoor series is made of teak, a hard and solid wood that adapts well to changes in climate and offers great durability thanks to its high content of natural oils. As the teak is untreated, it patinas beautifully over time, gradually acquiring a more silvery hue. The series offers a high degree of comfort with and without the cushions, which are made of weatherproof textiles.

Knud Erik Hansen, CEO and third generation owner of Carl Hansen & Son, comments: "The AH Outdoor series has its own expression and fits perfectly into our outdoor collection, where it finds its place between the cubist Indoor-Outdoor series by Bodil Kjær and folding outdoor furniture by Børge Mogensen. In addition, the AH Outdoor series meets very specific needs for stackable furniture with high aesthetic value that does not compromise on materials or craftsmanship."
