True's outdoor vignette establishes how its UL-rated outdoor refrigerators can be integrated into an outdoor entertaining space and hold up in any environment, weathering saltwater and beach exposure in coastal locations.

The last vignette is True's modern take on a wine storage and tasting room to host large groups. A 540-bottle wine wall and separate wet bar flank an impressive live-edge table with seating for 12, doubling as an area to entertain clients.
