At AuthenTEAK, we believe the finishing touches are what make an outdoor space feel like home. Few brands do finishing touches better than Elaine Smith. Elaine Smith pillows are premium indoor and outdoor pillows made to resist rain, sun, and stains. Each runway-inspired design reflects the personal style of Elaine Smith herself, the company’s president and designer. With rich colors, eye-catching patterns, and sumptuous textures, Elaine Smith pillows bring the comfort and polish of your living room out to the patio, porch, and pool deck.
Elaine’s story starts long before her first pillow. She was born in the Midwest and moved to England, where she grew up in a home surrounded by history and elegance. That upbringing and an early career in the jewelry industry shaped her design journey. She started a pillow business in 2001. A few years later, she discovered modern outdoor fabrics and realized they could match the look and feel of indoor fabrics while holding up to life at her South Florida home. She saw something missing in the outdoor design market and went on to create the world’s first line of luxury outdoor pillows. More than two decades later, the brand is still known for runway-inspired pillows that resist rain, sun, and stains.
Fashion is at the heart of every Elaine Smith collection. Elaine draws inspiration from runway shows around the world, and that influence shapes the brand’s couture approach to home design. The result is a collection that feels current and collected, from bold geometrics and graphic animal prints to soft textures, crisp stripes, and solids made for layering. Many designs feature outdoor-safe yarns woven into intricate jacquards and sophisticated patterns. Others add artisan details like macramé and fringe. The brand’s work has earned industry recognition, including ICFA Design Excellence awards in 2020 and 2021.
Behind the style is serious craftsmanship. A team of skilled artisans, led by Elaine’s creative direction, adds hand touches at every step of production, and each pillow is made in the USA. Elaine Smith creates her own original fabrics, and the Sunbrella fabric used in our pillows resists stains, fading, and water. A concealed zipper makes it easy to remove the covers and machine-wash them, so your pillows stay fresh season after season. Elaine Smith pillows are durable enough for outdoor use and soft enough for any room inside, so you can move them wherever your style takes you.
Our Elaine Smith assortment at AuthenTEAK gives you plenty of ways to dress up your seating. Pillows come in sizes from small rectangular lumbars to large 22" x 22" squares, plus everything in between. That makes it easy to mix scales, patterns, and colors on a sofa, sectional, lounge chair, or daybed. The Essentials solid pillows are made from premium solution-dyed acrylic. They’re ideal for layering and coordinate with many of the patterns in Elaine Smith’s current collection. Each pillow comes with a weather-resistant insert for outdoor use, and you can upgrade to a faux down insert for extra softness.
Elaine Smith pillows are made to last, and caring for them is simple. Brush off dirt as soon as it appears, shake off extra water after a rain shower, and wipe up spills right away. Elaine Smith warranties its pillows against manufacturing issues for one year from the date of purchase, and Sunbrella warranties the fabric against fading for five years. Whether you’re refreshing a favorite seating area or finishing a brand-new outdoor room, explore the full Elaine Smith collection at AuthenTEAK and find the pillows that make your space your own.
