Looking up: Leisure Design

MMPI is proud to announce that Leisure Design, a leader in the outdoor furniture category, opened its first ever showroom on the 17th floor of Chicago’s Merchandise Mart. Leisure Design’s new showroom opened just in time for the July ICFA Preview Show and September International Casual Furniture & Accessories Market.


“We really enjoyed the Preview Show and Casual Market,” says John Burrows, Leisure Design’s vice-president. “Our design team, headed up by Robert Mainville, of Long Beach, California, created a host of new and exciting collections including woven all-weather wicker and cast aluminum styles.”

Since 1998, Leisure Design has designed quality outdoor furnishings sold around the world. Leisure Design uses the finest materials in its wide-range of products, with an extensive offering of leisure furniture. Products include aluminum slings, cushions and all-weather wicker collections. Leisure Design offers casual furniture that is designed and built for both residential and contract spaces. 

Due to increased consumer demand for outdoor rooms and casual furnishings and accessories, MMPI has been expanding its casual industry at the Merchandise Mart. The expansion includes adding several new resources and many current tenants expanding in order to increase their space to showcase more collections.

Leisure Design’s new showroom is located in Suite 1755. The showroom will reach the design trade and their clients shopping the Merchandise Mart Design Center on a daily basis. Leisure Design will continue to be a part of the International Casual Furniture & Accessories Market on September 21-24 2010.
