Designers launch outdoor furniture collections emphasizing nature and craftsmanship
Faye Toogood has reimagined the traditional Adirondack chair using ample Finnish pine. The Vind Series, designed by Kasper Salto, features a table and chair collection inspired by nautical architecture, showcasing a sculptural elegance and details akin to boat sails. Rodolfo Dordoni, in partnership with Dordoni Studio, adapts an original indoor design into a lasting outdoor collection crafted at Cassina's carpentry workshop. The Outdoor Market collection from Jasper Morrison Shop utilizes a lightweight beech frame and striped recycled polyester, drawing inspiration from classic camping gear. iSiMAR introduces plush cushions to enhance the comfort of its slender, metal-framed seating. The Oli Chair by House of Leon boasts solid wood with bold, rectilinear forms for a robust presence. Kata offers a lightweight interpretation of woven straw chairs designed by Altherr Désile Park, while Ethnicraft's Zahara outdoor pouf features earthy tones and unique piping for added luxury. These collections emphasize minimalist and simple designs, allowing nature to shine.
