      Jason Champion Outdoor, a Florida-based distributor of fine contemporary outdoor furniture, became the exclusive U.S. distributor of Tidelli, formerly distributed by Design Kollection.
      Tidelli, a 14-year-old Salvador, Brazil-based outdoor furniture company, is known for innovative, modern lines that explore new materials and forms. The release of its Goa chair and Temple pavilion this year were met with enthusiasm at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York and the Hospitality Design Expo in Las Vegas.
      “What I love about the room is its versatility,” said Champion, who designed Temple for Tidelli. “With Temple, you have a space that can be a kitchen, dining room, living room or office — which is my favorite application.”
      The piece is comprised of an powder-coated aluminum frame covered with hand-woven 1-inch PVC strips, exemplifying Tidelli’s commitment to lasting quality that endures exposure to the elements.
      Jason Champion Cloth, the company’s line of outdoor fabrics and vinyls produced by Laurie Bell, will feature prints that mediate the spirit of deco, rock-n-roll, Southern elegance and modernism.
      “Jason’s infectious energy and charm are all over these fabrics,” said Laurie Jenkins of Laurie Bell, LLC. “Working with him pushes me to design new fabrics and colors that underscore the contemporary style of his furniture.”
