Outdoor furniture trends are evolving to look more like its indoor counterparts, enabling balconies and backyards to be transformed into second living rooms. And with each season bringing even more diversity in styles, outdoor spaces should no longer be decorated as an afterthought.
It’s no mean feat to produce furniture that can withstand tropical weather and look good while doing it. But engineers, manufacturers and designers have taken this challenge head on with continuous R&D, so as to conjure up designs that bring practicality, durability and aesthetics to a whole new level.
Wanting a chair to suit both outdoor and indoor spaces, Gamfratesi worked with Dedon to produce Aiir, a design so lightweight it can be moved around the home effortlessly. A new injectionmould technique was employed to attain the chair’s strength, lightness, and precise silhouette that’s inspired by how sunlight filters through narrow birch trees. Available at Xtra.
