Outdoor living room: 5 complete collections not to be missed

18 May 2021

Furnishing the outdoor living area in a complete way is easier if we focus on a complete collection that includes, at least, a sofa, single seats of various kinds and matching tables. The advantage of choosing a complete collection is the certainty of an overall coherence of the furniture elements, and the harmony of colors and materials. Each element, in fact, is linked to the others both by a common formal approach and by a color palette in which each color can be combined with the others without fear of making a mistake. Furthermore, a homogeneous look has a reassuring effect on the beholder, a more marked visual order than the mix of collections and also greater elegance. This is why we have chosen five perfect collections to create an outdoor living room in an immediate and sure way.

1 Trampoline by Patricia Urquiola for Cassina

The first striking aspect of the Trampoline collection designed by Patricia Urquiola for Cassina is that of the shapes: sweet and sinuous, welcoming but rigorous and clean at the same time. The collection consists of a series of armchairs and two-seater sofas or modular. Added to these are the sun lounger and the lovebed, a large circular sunbed that can also be fitted with a cover. The structure of all the furnishings is in painted stainless steel, bases and back are in polypropylene rope and woven nylon. The cushions are padded with recycled wadding, obtained from the reworking of PET and as an additional decorative detail they can be had with pretty fringes with a vintage look.

2 Onde by Luca Nichetto for GandiaBlasco

The Onde collection, designed by Luca Nichetto for Gandiablasco is characterized by the aluminum structure that has an extremely interesting and decorative groove behind it. As well as the base: the feet become a characterizing element of the overall design and are discreetly noticed. The collection consists of an armchair, an upholstered chair, a two and three seater sofa, modular elements to create sofas of different compositions, poufs and round and square tables. The possibility of combining bases and upholstered elements of different colors further increases the versatility of this project which can take on a formal or playful look depending on the color combinations.

3 Panda by Paola Navone for Gervasoni

Paola Navone reinterprets a classic in a modern way: what once were the armchairs and sofas in woven wicker. The structure of the furnishings of the Panda collection is in fact made of hand-woven aluminum, completed by large and soft cushions, which welcome and decorate, like all the upholstered furniture signed by the designer. In addition to sofas and armchairs, the ensemble for the outdoor living room is completed with center and side tables, stools, high-backed armchair and large sofa bed.

4 Boma by Rodolfo Dordoni for Kettal

The Boma collection, designed by Rodolfo Dordoni for Kettal is the result of a search for the perfect balance between the need for high-performance materials, suitable for the outdoors, and the desire for comfort to create a real outdoor living room. Boma achieves this aspiration with an aluminum structure that is divided into multiple modules that guarantee maximum compositional flexibility and a wide variety of colors.

5 Weekend by Brichet Ziegler Studio for Petite Friture

The material of choice for this playful and versatile collection is aluminum, available in a color palette ranging from earthy colors to the brightest ones. It consists of 18 elements including chairs of various sizes, benches, stools, tables, coffee tables and matching cushions. The seats have large and comfortable backrests, the style is evocative and captivating and adapts to terraces and gardens of different character.
