About
JANUS et Cie is an American company specialising in high-end outdoor and indoor-outdoor furniture for residential, hospitality and contract settings. Founded in California, it became known for premium garden and patio furnishings that draw on a wide range of design influences, and it is now part of Haworth's group of high-end design brands. Its catalogue spans seating, tables, loungers and accessories intended primarily for exterior and transitional spaces. The company was founded in 1978 by Janice Feldman, who opened its first showroom in West Hollywood, California. It grew from a single representative showroom into a full-service resource for outdoor and lifestyle furnishings, textiles and accessories, building a reputation in the luxury segment of the outdoor furniture market. The Southern California setting, with its indoor-outdoor architectural tradition, is often cited as part of the company's identity. In 2016 JANUS et Cie was acquired by the Poltrona Frau Group, the Italian furniture group owned by the American manufacturer Haworth. The acquisition placed JANUS et Cie within Haworth's Lifestyle Design division, alongside Italian design houses such as Cassina, Cappellini and Poltrona Frau. Founder Janice Feldman retained an equity stake and continued to lead the company following the acquisition. JANUS et Cie's range is positioned at the luxury end of the outdoor market, combining materials such as woven and extruded fibres, teak, aluminium and stone with collections that mix contemporary and more traditional styles. Its products are used in private residences as well as hotels, resorts and other hospitality and contract projects, where durability for exterior use is a key requirement. The company sells through its own showrooms and a network of dealers and design professionals rather than through general retail, serving architects and interior designers specifying outdoor and indoor-outdoor furniture. As a California-founded brand now within a larger international design group, JANUS et Cie combines its origins in the luxury outdoor sector with the resources of Haworth's Lifestyle Design portfolio.
