Lounging among the vineyards
La Bruyère, Belgium
At home
With rows of grapevines in the background and rolling stretches of grass, this garden, by landscape architect François Charlier, feels like a slice of Burgundy. And while there is indeed a "La Bruyère" in that renowned French wine region, this particular oasis is located much further north, in Belgium, in a modest village near Namur. Corten steel elements, lush flower borders, and several Walrus lounge setups combine to create a haven of peace and relaxation, perfectly adapted to the local climate.
The outdoor living room
Always Ready—Even After a Rain Shower
Two Walrus setups are situated on anthracite-gray terraces in this stunning wildflower garden. One terrace is nestled among flowers, shrubs, and trees, forming a tranquil cocoon with ample natural shade. The other enjoys a more open layout, offering breathtaking views. In this setting, a shade solution that can adapt to the sun’s position is essential. Enter Sensu, a stylish addition with a taupe canopy and aluminum frame in an earthy tone. Sensu adjusts seamlessly to the needs of anyone reclining beneath it.
In this garden, the outdoor season lasts significantly longer
However, in Belgium, the sun often plays a supporting role, while rain frequently takes center stage. With a Walrus setup, there’s no need for an overhead cover to bring your living room outdoors. The Walrus’s durable, waterproof, and washable "skin" conceals a soft, warm, and comfortable interior. Right after a rain shower, you can simply wipe the surface dry with a towel, unroll the blankets and cushions stored in the backrest, and instantly add a luxurious touch to your outdoor experience.
Unlike conventional outdoor furniture, the Walrus sofa doesn’t require an unsightly protective cover. The cushions themselves are crafted from advanced, high-tech materials that are waterproof, moisture-wicking, and quick-drying—designed for year-round outdoor enjoyment, even on unpredictable days. A Walrus setup remains visually stunning throughout the year and is always ready to welcome you with comfort and style.
In other words: in this garden, the outdoor season lasts significantly longer.
