Entertaining With Alex Guarnaschelli

Alex Takes It Outside

Food Network star and celebrity chef Alex Guarnaschelli loves to entertain friends and family at her home in the Hamptons, but she never had the right outdoor furniture. Enter POLYWOOD. Now Alex has endless opportunities to bring her signature hospitality to her stunning backyard space.

CONNECT & FOLLOW

Furniture for All Seasons & All Occasions

With multiple spaces to furnish, Alex chose pieces that would bring each one to life — from poolside chaises and deep seating for comfort and conversations to dining furniture made for lingering well after the final course.

To create a look that complemented her home and set the tone when entertaining outdoors, Alex chose pieces from our Latitude, Elevate, Coastal, Nautical, and Vineyard collections. She paired clean-lined frames in warm Teak and Natural lumber with cool green and white outdoor cushions, a combination that created contrast and texture. 

Genuine POLYWOOD™ lumber is formulated to resist fading and discoloration, even when left outside year-round. It performs beautifully through New York’s harsh winters and hot, humid summers.

“These pieces are designed for outdoor living. They’re great for food, drinks, and a few good friends.” 

- Alex Guarnaschelli

Effortless Entertaining

Mise en Place, Made Easy

Alex chose POLYWOOD because it combines style and functionality. Our furniture is always ready for company, which checks an item off her busy prep list. Afterward, a quick wipe with a damp cloth removes spills, stains, and dirt, taking care of post-party cleanup.

“I don’t have anything to worry about except for whether my chicken is perfectly cooked." 

- Alex Guarnaschelli

“When I entertain, I always have enough food. But now, if my friends bring someone extra, or a bunch of people stop by, I have room.”

- Alex Guarnaschelli

Shop the Look

Raising the Bar

With decades of hospitality experience, Alex knows how to give her guests the VIP treatment and make it look easy. 

She puts her Vineyard Bar Cart to work as a mobile drink station, effortlessly serving up delicious drinks in every part of her backyard. After-dinner drinks? Certainly. Palomas by the pool? No problem.

“This bar cart makes my yard an extension of my own kitchen.” 

- Alex Guarnaschelli

“With these pieces from POLYWOOD, I feel like the possibilities are endless.”
