The return of metal outdoor furniture between light lines and new colors

3 June 2022

The beauty of the landscape, the blue sky background and the relaxed atmosphere of the outdoor space are a perfect setting to accommodate simple, elegant but essential furnishings that integrate discreetly into terraces, gardens and courtyards. This is the right time to set up and live them at any time of the day: for convivial moments, family moments but also work sessions in a truly privileged home office. For those looking for beautiful, functional furniture with a linear design, a valid option is that of metal furniture. Classic and versatile material that lends itself to assume a contemporary and welcoming design at the same time and to renew itself through new details and trendy colors. Subtle structural elements and delicate palettes make this type of furniture perfect for any type of outdoor space: from the garden to the terrace in the city passing through the courtyard in the countryside.

Ankara by Constance Guisset for Matiere Grise

The Ankara collection was originally designed by Constance Guisset for the French Institute of Ankara. The recurring motif are the facets of the painted steel surface that interact with the light, creating a captivating play of reflections and shades. The chromatic range is itself the characterizing element of this collection: both the dark colors and the light colors proposed reflect the simple but elegant poetics of Guisset.

Village by Jasper Morrison for Kettal

Village is a passpartout collection designed by Jasper Morrison for Kettal, precisely with the intention of creating furniture suitable for different outdoor settings. The material chosen is aluminum which, thanks to its low weight, allows you to easily move the table as well as the chairs from the same collection, designed with armrests and grooves to make the overall design even lighter and more ethereal. A wide range of colors invites you to experiment with personalized combinations of the various elements and identify the shades that fit best into the surrounding landscape.

Flower by Ethimo

Just like a flower, the Flower collection fits into the outdoor space with naturalness and formal lightness. The structure of the tables and chairs is made of metal and is perfect for creating intimate and precious dining corners in outdoor spaces. Also available in folding versions, they are light and compact and therefore represent a functional and practical choice as well as aesthetically appealing. The available colors are all to be explored and allow lively and tailor-made combinations of the space to be furnished.

Plein Air by Michael Anastassiades for Roda

In this iconic collection by Michael Anastassiades for Roda the rigorous lines of the table are combined with generous and enveloping seats. The result is a contemporary ensemble, to give the outdoor space a current and highly sought-after connotation. The table has an aluminum structure to be combined with a stoneware top in a wide range of finishes. The joints are invisible and help to convey an extreme formal cleanliness.

Frame by Salvatore Indriolo for Fantin

In the outdoor dining area the presence of a real kitchen is increasingly required and Frame by Fantin is an excellent declination of this type of furniture. Frame is a complete kitchen, made of painted metal in various possible colors inspired by nature and is a perfect option for discreetly integrating technical elements such as appliances, without interfering with the landscape.

Balcony by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec for Hay

Simple and ingenious, the Balcony collection by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec for Hay is immediately recognizable for the geometric pattern that visually characterizes it but at the same time makes it light and practical. It is an alternation of rectangular or square structures and circular inserts, perfectly juxtaposed and balanced. Available in textured and intense colors to mix with each other.
