Viridien Patio + Fireplace is not new to outdoor furniture in Charlotte NC. Formerly known as The Fire House Casual Living Store, they opened their first Charlotte location in the 1980s. More locations followed throughout the 1990s and early 2000s in Charlotte, NC, Raleigh, NC and Greenville, SC.
Originally a fireplace store, Viridien first introduced lawn and garden furniture over their summer season in the 1990s. That addition proved successful, and over the last three decades, Viridien has become Charlotte’s premier destination for luxury outdoor furniture and home fireplaces.
The company rebranded as Viridien Patio + Fireplace in 2022. With two spectacular showrooms in Charlotte, their product offering not only includes thelargest selection of top quality outdoor and patio furniture, but also shade solutions, fire pits and outdoor kitchens that can be custom designed and installed in a day.
Staying true to their roots, the stores continue to offer the Carolinas’ largest selection of gas, electric and wood burning fireplaces, supported by a team of hearth experts ready to design and manage fireplace upgrades or new fireplace installations for your home.
“Unlike many of our competitors who focus on indoor furniture, glassware, and pottery typically found in malls, we are dedicated solely to enhancing your outdoor experience and wintertime fireplace needs,” says Grant Henegan, Owner and President of Viridien Patio + Fireplace. “This is our lifeblood, and we are trusted experts in the field.”
Quality You Can Sink Into
Outdoor furniture in Charlotte NC at Viridien, which is the company’s primary product category, is available in a wide range of materials, finish colors, and cushion types to suit every need and every style. In fact, here customers can browse the largest in-stock selection of outdoor furniture in the Carolinas.
Despite the range of the selection, one element remains constant; whether the pieces are constructed from teak wood for a timeless aesthetic or recycled lumber products for a sustainable and eco-friendly solution, durability is paramount.
“Our customer surveys consistently show that quality is the number one consideration when purchasing outdoor furniture,”says Henegan. “There’s nothing worse than furniture that doesn’t withstand the elements and looks worn out after just a year or two. The right finishes, fabrics, and construction make all the difference, ensuring your outdoor furniture remains beautiful and durable for decades of enjoyment.”
Fireplaces, which are the stores’ other primary product category, can be browsed in Viridien’s vast hearth rooms. Live burning displays help curious customers experience how each product might light up their own home, as well as compare heat levels. Viridien’s fireplace collection also includes an array of realistic, heat-generating gas log sets, controlled by today’s latest remote technologies.
Designs to Dream Of
In many parts of the Carolinas, residents are fortunate enough to live in areas where outdoor living spaces can be enjoyed year round. As a result, we ask those spaces to wear a lot of hats — lounge space, cook space, dining space, pool space, play space.
It’s a lot to coordinate. That’s why the exterior of a home, just like its interior, can benefit from the expertise of a designer to foster a seamless flow and cohesive aesthetic.
The @Home Design program at Viridien offers precisely this service. A credentialed @Home Designer will visit a site to take measurements and understand the homeowner’s vision, budget, and requirements. Then, the designer translates that vision into a layout and design for the homeowner’s consideration and approval, before ultimately turning the layout into reality with Viridien products.
“Our goal is to make the experience fun, exciting, and entirely stress-free,” says Henegan, just like the spaces their products ultimately create.”
