Introducing the Campus outdoor collection by Matthew Hilton

When we select furniture for Cimmermann, we're always looking for designs that balance timeless aesthetics with genuine practicality. Pieces that feel considered rather than fashionable, and that will still look as relevant in ten years as they do today.

That's exactly what drew us to the new Campus outdoor collection from Case furniture, designed by Matthew Hilton.

Created for modern outdoor living, Campus is a collection that combines clean architectural lines, generous comfort and exceptional durability. Designed to sit comfortably in gardens, terraces, patios and outdoor entertaining spaces, it reflects the same thoughtful approach to design that has made Matthew Hilton one of Britain's most respected contemporary designers.

Modern outdoor furniture designed to last

Outdoor furniture faces a unique challenge. It needs to withstand changing weather conditions while remaining comfortable, practical and visually appealing.

The Campus collection addresses this challenge through simplicity and careful material selection. Each piece is built around a robust powder-coated steel frame that provides a reassuring sense of quality and permanence. The frames have a pleasing weight and stability, while maintaining a clean, understated appearance.

Available in Bottle and Pebble finishes, the muted colour palette allows the furniture to integrate naturally into a wide variety of outdoor settings, from contemporary urban terraces to established gardens.

Matthew Hilton's approach to outdoor design

Throughout his career, Matthew Hilton has become known for furniture that prioritises longevity, comfort and honest construction.

That philosophy is clearly evident within the Campus collection.

Rather than relying on decorative details or temporary trends, the collection focuses on proportion, material quality and thoughtful engineering. The result is furniture that feels calm, balanced and enduring.

As Hilton explains:

"Outdoor furniture must work hard, but it should also have clarity and composure."

This balance between practicality and elegance is what makes the collection particularly appealing.

Comfort for everyday outdoor living

While durability is essential, outdoor furniture should also encourage people to spend more time outside.

The seating within the Campus collection combines supportive textilene slings with weather-resistant cushions upholstered in Agora outdoor fabric. Together, these materials create a comfortable seating experience while offering the resilience required for outdoor environments.

Whether used for morning coffee, relaxed afternoons or long evenings entertaining friends and family, the collection is designed to support everyday outdoor living.

Thoughtful material choices

Alongside the seating collection, the Campus tables offer a choice of solid granite or slatted teak tops.

Both materials bring their own character to the collection. Granite introduces a refined architectural quality, while teak offers natural warmth and texture. Combined with the powder-coated steel frames, these materials create a collection that feels contemporary while remaining timeless.

Outdoor furniture for modern gardens and terraces

One of the strengths of the Campus collection is its versatility.

The simple forms and restrained detailing allow the furniture to sit comfortably within a range of outdoor environments. Whether you're furnishing a compact city balcony, a contemporary courtyard or a larger garden terrace, the collection provides a cohesive and considered approach to outdoor living.

A collection chosen for the long term

At Cimmermann, we believe the best furniture is designed to be lived with for years rather than seasons.

The Campus outdoor collection embodies that philosophy. Combining durable materials, exceptional comfort and a timeless design language, it is furniture designed to become part of everyday life outdoors.
