About this product

The Workaround Island is a seating configuration designed for the center of a space, not the edge. Two groups sit back-to-back, separated by either a cushion back or an integrated planter that rises from the middle of the piece. Approachable from every side, it works as a standalone statement in a large outdoor space or paired with additional seating. The same Sunbrella® fabric, the same quick-dry foam, the same low-profile aluminum frame throughout. Four throw pillows included.

Outdoor living, simplified.

All access
The Workaround Island is built for spaces large enough to put something in the middle. Fully upholstered, approachable from every side, and finished with a planter back that makes it worth looking at from any direction.

No Front, No Back

The Island is approachable from every side. Place it in the center of a terrace, a lobby, or a pool deck. It works from any angle and reads well from every direction.

Connects Without Tools

After an easy assembly with minimal hardware, every module connects to the next with two snap-on clips. No hardware, no tools for connecting—just a secure layout that holds its shape.

Sink-in Comfort

Deep plush cushions and a low-profile frame sized for real outdoor lounging. Two groups, back to back, with room to settle in on either side.

Optional Planter Back

In place of a standard cushion back, a single integrated planter rises from the center of the Island—visible from every side, adding a living element to the middle of the space. Drainage holes and plugs built in. Liner fabric recommended.

Off the wall

Why you’ll love it

The Workaround Island wasn't designed into a corner. It was designed for the spaces that don't have one.
Back to back

Two to four groups face outward from the center, separated by a cushion back or a planter. Intimate on each side, open to the space all around.

A back story

A single integrated planter or cushion back rises from the center of the Island, visible from every side. The option of a living feature or a cushion in the middle of the space—both reasons to look twice.

Made for the middle

Most outdoor furniture lives at the edge of a space. The Island is built for the center—a freestanding seating piece that anchors a terrace, a pool deck, or an open-air lobby from the inside out.

Built to work together

Every piece in the Workaround Collection is designed to connect to the next. Chairs, sofas, chaises, benches, ottomans, and corners snap together to form linear runs, sectionals, serpentine layouts, and islands that work in any space.

Frequently asked questions

All cushions are upholstered in Sunbrella® Nurture fabric—100% solution-dyed acrylic that's fade-resistant, UV-stable, and rated for outdoor use. Because the color is dyed through the fiber rather than applied to the surface, it holds up to prolonged sun exposure without fading or breaking down.

The Workaround Island comes with a 3-year limited warranty.

Yes, with the right care. The powder-coated aluminum frame resists corrosion, and Sunbrella® fabric is rated for outdoor use in high-exposure environments. No metal product is entirely immune to salt air, so regular rinsing with fresh water and routine upkeep are recommended for coastal installations.

Yes. Cushion covers across all modules are removable and machine-washable. Air dry. Quick-dry foam cushions shed water after rain, so the Island is ready to use again without a long wait.

Cushion covers are removable and machine-washable—air dry before replacing. For the frame, occasional cleaning with mild soap and water is all that's needed. Quick-dry foam cushions shed water after rain and don't require any special treatment between uses.

After an easy assembly with minimal hardware, every module connects to the next with two snap-on clips. No tools or hardware required for connecting.

The Island is designed exclusively for seating. While the surface between the two seating runs may appear table-like, it is not rated or intended for use as a table surface. For the best experience, pair the Island with a side table or coffee table from the Neighbor collection.

The Island is designed for spaces large enough to accommodate freestanding seating away from the perimeter. It works as a standalone centerpiece or paired with additional Workaround modules or other seating systems to define zones within a larger environment.

Yes. The Island is available with either a standard cushion back or a single integrated planter back at its center. The planter is visible from every side and functions as a living feature within the configuration. Drainage holes and plugs are built in. Liner fabric is recommended.
