Outdoor furniture by Vienna-based label 'Anaei'; incidentally tested by Fashion.at's Karin Sawetz last year

Some tests happen! Without any press conference, without meeting or any plan to write in future about it. But they are kept in mind such as everything we do or what happens draws a trail in our brains. We can't prevent that the trails are drawn; and we can't extinguish the flicker of tracks of passed time - they're the guide lights for our presence and future. Sometimes we try to fill in negative trails; while some positive trails are seemingly shed away until the brain is triggered by an incident - such as a press release about the collection of outdoor furniture and accessories by Vienna-based internationally working label 'Anaei'.

First, the information about the attractive products evoked my attention as the practical items' chic is made of durable substance. The materials are weatherproof (sun, rain, snow), hygienic (like antibacterial dry foam), lightfast (UV-resistance); the fabrics have an Oeko-Tex 100 certification. Everything here is likeable; even the shop where the price is calculated after the selected size of for example the beanbag which is described closely with technical details etc. I browsed further through the proper website to the category 'References' and found there alongside to pictures of furniture delivered by Anaei for hotels on Mykonos, another example where the brand's outdoor pieces were placed in 2018, the year Anaei was founded. While checking the reference, the memory flared images of one of my travels to the restaurant Mole West at Neusiedlersee (lake Neusiedl), Austrian Federal State Burgenland into my consciousness and I remembered how comfortable it felt to relax at the beanbag. It was filled with the right amount of material for not sinking in and for getting up easily again.

Sometimes, it's very welcome when memories awake again.
