The Plateau Outdoor Sofa and Sun Lounge achieve new heights of outdoor luxury.  

From sofa to sun lounge, the platforms, cushions and shelving rearranges to create custom layouts to perfectly suit your outdoor space. 

For King Living Designer Dominic Harrison, the Plateau Outdoor Collection is all about catering to today's modern lives.

“We envisioned the Plateau Outdoor collection as a celebration of modern outdoor living, combining our hallmark of innovative design with the flexibility required by contemporary lifestyles.” 

"We aimed to craft pieces that would empower individuals to curate their outdoor spaces as extensions of their interior style, ensuring each arrangement is as unique as the individuals themselves."

Here, Dominic shares his insight into creating the Plateau Outdoor Sofa and Sun Lounge and explores the complete Plateau Collection, including outdoor coffee tables, ottomans, and dining.

Customisable modular outdoor sofa

True to the King Living vision of flexible living, the Plateau Outdoor Sofa features a customisable layout.

The modular outdoor sofa design allows you to easily move seat cushions and shelves within the sofa platform to suit different seating arrangements.

“Plateau is a substantial sofa, creating an impressive centrepiece for spacious outdoor areas,” Dominic shares.  

“We understand every space requires a different configuration – which is why Plateau is designed to reconfigure to suit different seating arrangements and preferences or expand with additional modules over time.”

The unique weighted Omni Positional Backrests also work to provide complete customisation for your seating preferences.

“The Omni Positional Backrests offer unparalleled flexibility for customers, enabling them to easily adjust and customise their seating arrangement for maximum comfort,” Dominic explains.  

“Whether you're sitting upright, lounging back, or needing dual seating options, these backrests provide the ability to tailor your sofa layout to your current needs, including designs that convert into an angled sun lounge.” 

Easily detachable cushions, backrests, and shelves also enable you to store these components during colder seasons or when not in use, ensuring their longevity and ease of maintenance.

Convertible sun lounge design 

One design highlight that sets the Plateau Outdoor Sofa apart is its ability to transform into a sun lounge. 

“The Plateau Outdoor Sofa Collection includes a seat cushion which can easily convert from a flat sofa seat into an angled sun lounge.” Dominic shares. 

In response to this need, Kahn is leading a redevelopment of the trade program in the form of a tiered loyalty structure with higher discount benefits. The new program was implemented Australia wide in January 2024, with plans for a global rollout in the future. This will be supplemented by a focus on making the buying experience more seamless for trade partners. 

“We’re in the process of developing online portals for our trade customers to launch this year,” he adds. “We’ve also introduced dedicated Trade Consultants into every Showroom, which is something we haven’t ever done before. This will give our trade partners a dedicated point of contact who they can liaise with for all their questions and orders.” 

This hands-on, relationship-based approach will support trade partners through every step of the process to keep them up-to-date with product launches and other relevant news and information.

Exceptional weather resistance  

Designed for longevity, the Plateau Outdoor Sofa features an engineered steel frame and includes the choice of sustainable teak or high-performance ceramic shelving, backed by a 5-Year Outdoor Warranty.  

Incorporating natural teak across the Plateau Outdoor Collection offers both aesthetic and practical benefits.

“Stylistically, teak brings warmth, elegance, and a timeless appeal to outdoor furniture, easily blending with various design themes,” Dominic explains.  

“And as a material, teak is renowned for its exceptional durability and resistance to weather, water, and decay, making it an ideal choice for outdoor use."

Built to withstand harsh outdoor environments, the sofa's sturdy steel frame is finished with KingCote™ powder coat to ensure long-lasting durability and weather resistance.

Pairing the Plateau Outdoor Sofa with the complementing Plateau Outdoor Dining Table, Coffee Table and Ottoman offers a unified and elegant outdoor living and dining solution.  

“The coffee table and ottoman complement the sofa's modular design.” Dominic explains. “Both provide additional surfaces for convenience and comfort, making your outdoor area the perfect spot for gatherings or serene moments alone.”  

The Plateau Outdoor Dining Table seamlessly integrates, providing a welcome place for creating memories.

“The dining table not only enhances the visual flow of the outdoor space but also caters to the functional needs of dining and entertaining, making it a perfect addition to the Plateau Outdoor Collection.”
