Expert Opinion: I could picture Watershed in a residential patio on the East Coast or in a place where it rains more than in Southern California.
It really has a wonderful personality to it. I think the angle of repose of the chairs with the angles of the table legs is an interesting compositional idea. Sometimes you’re looking out at the furniture, you’re not always sitting in it, you know? Provocative is a good way to describe it. (Pamela Burton, Landscape Architect)

What We Think: Based on the simple act of resting the chair backs against the table to protect them from the elements, 54Dean designed Watershed to easily assume this resting position. The choice of material ensures a standard degree of longevity, and having a chair that is inclined to tip forward rather than backwards will put a lot of nervous guests at ease, though we have a sneaking suspicion that this table looks best unoccupied.
