School's out, the great British Summer kicks in, and suddenly the stay-cation looks more enticing than packing up everything but the kitchen sink in pursuit of warmer climes.

And that means the garden needs to be a haven of chic conviviality for family and friends in the hygge-style Scandi retailer JYSK's UK stores have helped turn into an art form.

JYSK UK has seen four of its garden lounge sets fill the top places of its British best-sellers in June and July to date.

The 5-person grey TAMBOHUSE garden lounge set is a runaway success. The model outperformed forecasts this time last year across the Scandinavian-owned furniture retailer's UK stores, selling out within just a few weeks. This year the company trebled its stock in readiness for the rush and it's up among the front runners yet again for a garden 'Grammy'.

This generous corner sofa is a smart choice for lounging with loved ones, but the matching table has a little something extra. In its more compact form, the artwood-topped table is ideal for drinks and snacks, but will adjust to dining-height for al fresco meals. The sofa is supplied with luxury matching seat pads and back cushions.

Similarly, JYSK lovers can't get enough of the uber-cool best-selling ULLEHUSE, MORA and FJELLERUP garden sets, all available at super favourable prices to bring Scandi summer style into your outdoor space.

Have a hygge Summer!

Editors' Note:

JYSK this year (2019) celebrates its 40th birthday and recently opened its first store in Ireland on the 2nd April, taking the group to a total of 52 countries around the world.

The international group's annual turnover is €3.58 billion. Growth is stable and controlled, and total staff numbers are around 23,000 working across 2,700 stores in 52 countries.  In the UK it has delivered a strong sales performance as some other furniture retailers have found conditions less favourable.  Global purchasing power with pricing benefits passed on to customers, a growing appetite for Scandi style, quality products and high-levels of customer service have all contributed to JYSK's UK advance.

It will have grown UK store numbers by 30% by August 2019, and plans to repeat this feat with another 30% growth in the next financial year (FY20).

JYSK has stores in Bradford, St Helen's, Lincoln, Mansfield, York, Blackburn, Bolton, Swadlincote, Coventry, Pontefract, Grantham, Rotherham, Ellesmere Port, Chesterfield, Cannock, Dewsbury, Doncaster and Derby – and Wakefield from August 3rd.
