Two American-made brands have joined forces to launch a collection of indoor and outdoor products with integrated refrigeration for residential or commercial use.
Minneapolis-based furniture retailer Room & Board and O’Fallon, Mo.-based luxury refrigeration brand True Residential have expanded their partnership with a new collection of furniture, including the introduction of their first outdoor products with integrated refrigeration.
“As an American-born company dedicated to delivering the finest in high-end home refrigeration, backed by a long legacy of commercial success, we are delighted to continue our fruitful partnership with Room & Board,” says Chelsea Bothe, brand manager of True Residential, a division of True Manufacturing. “We have a shared dedication and passion for providing functional, purpose-driven designs made of durable materials meant to last. The outcome of our latest collaboration is truly remarkable—and with a growing demand for convenient, hospitality-inspired amenities both indoors and outdoors—we couldn’t be more pleased.”
