For the resort patron who checks into the Marriott anywhere around the world, and also here in New York City, they take in the outdoor scene the hotel has to offer. Not a single thought crosses through the patrons’ minds about where the beautiful outdoor furniture originates. You’re only thought if you’re a beauty seeker like DANIEL PLUS LAUREN embodies themselves is where did such beautifully-engineered rooftop chairs and tables come from. BDNY today gives you one company seeking out your beloved patronage for looming late nights over a Manhattan skyline is Polywood. A truly sustainable and workable solution for hotel designers seeking to emulate what’s been seen at nearby Gansevoort or your friend’s rooftop apartment scene.

The story of Polywood starts with good old-fashioned milk jugs having no meaning for anything thereafter the cow’s juice has been drank. With no place to go, Polywood found that HDPE No. 2 (High-density polyethylene plastic), the material used to pour those gallons of Vitamin D milk we know you still have with cereal, a lifetime source once the milk’s run out. HDPE No. 2 (the milk jug) was realized to be sustainable because it’s the only source of plastic that can be recycled without losing its durability. And if you’ve held a gallon of milk or water and noticed how tough the HDPE No. 2 texture can be, you truly understand why the workable solution that’s Polywood is a beautiful furniture option not just for hotel, but also for home.

Sitting at Polywood’s booth on what’s not any given Sunday, DPL fell in love with the simple picnic table made up of gray and white with chairs as their companion because it’s indestructible against any type of weather year-round. Polywood is a big proponent of constant testing at their factories in Syracuse, Indiana and Roxboro, North Carolina to ensure that Polywood is an ongoing workable solution for those hotel designers out there who carve out beautiful outdoor spaces. Polywood on site recycles HDPE No. 2 (High-density polyethylene plastic – the milk jug) where it’s broken down before it’s fully-cleaned so it can go on to make Polywood outdoor furniture withstanding all weather as well as the test of time.

Out of its centerpieces of picnic tables with chairs, fire pits, lounge chairs, and standalone chairs textured and colored perfectly to resemble custom wood, Polywood proves also to be more durable than Hollywood at the moment for weathering the toughest elements thrown at it. Hotel designers also have the option of customizing their color palette beyond the standard color of oak, pine, and Douglas Fir you see in real wood. You could never find such a viable option to evolve your outdoor hotel vibe aside from the lobby which draws patrons back year after year no matter the occasion or time of year here in New York City. Summers already here in NYC for annual tourists are already memorable, but enhancing that New Year’s Eve rooftop not in Times Square also NYC leaves an indubitably lasting mark returning you here always thanks to Polywood.
