The Furniture Factor: Using Angelique Wood to Elevate Outdoor Retail Spaces

Garden Centers Are Becoming Experience Destinations

Today’s garden center is no longer just a place to buy plants. It’s a destination where customers explore, linger, and return. Furniture plays a major role in shaping that experience—and the material you choose matters.

At Habitudes, we help retailers design with Angelique wood, a tropical hardwood prized for its rich color, weather resistance, and timeless beauty. From benches and tables to display risers and staging platforms, Angelique wood brings warmth, strength, and style to both retail settings and the gardens your customers create.

Why Angelique Wood?

Angelique is a dense, rot-resistant hardwood sourced from sustainable forests in Southeast Asia. Its natural resistance to insects and moisture makes it ideal for outdoor use without needing harsh chemical treatments.

Benefits include:

• Gorgeous golden-brown grain that deepens over time

• Exceptional durability for high-traffic retail zones

• Smooth, refined finish that complements both rustic and modern garden aesthetics

Whether you use it in product displays or sell it as standalone furniture, Angelique adds lasting value.

Furniture That Sells the Experience

Incorporating furniture into your merchandising strategy has big advantages:

• Staging moments: Use benches and tables to anchor lifestyle vignettes

• Customer comfort: Seating encourages longer visits and higher spend

• Upsell potential: Display planters, cushions, or accessories atop Angelique pieces to boost AOV

From a commercial standpoint, every bench becomes a cross-selling opportunity.

Made for Retail, Loved by Designers

Angelique wood furniture bridges the gap between retail-ready and designer-friendly. Our clients love it because:

• It performs in all climates with minimal upkeep

• It feels custom, upscale, and architectural

• It integrates seamlessly with our other materials like stoneware, corten steel, and cement

You can build entire store zones around it—outdoor cafés, patio inspiration areas, or quiet seating nooks.
