The Plus modular seating system, developed by Italian brand Lapalma in partnership with designer Francesco Rota, showcases rounded edges and components spacious enough for reclining. The Soleva collection, designed by Molteni&C's creative director Vincent Van Duysen, features aluminum profiles for various seating options, including armchairs and sun loungers. Flexform collaborated with architect Antonio Citterio to create the Oasis seating system, notable for its sides made of taut woven mesh and weatherproof upholstery. The Azul outdoor chair, originally crafted by architect Lina Bo Bardi, is now manufactured by Paola Lenti, utilizing stainless steel frames with belts that support cushions. South African design brand Haldane introduced the SuperRational modular outdoor sofa, inspired by 1980s Memphis style.
