New outdoor concepts: creating outdoor relaxation spaces with style and freedom

Creating outdoor relaxation spaces with style and freedom is an increasingly popular trend, which combines design, functionality, and the pleasure of living the outdoor environment, and which requires particular attention to detail, together with high-quality materials and a refined aesthetic.

Imagine transforming your outdoor space into a luxury refuge, where elegance and comfort blend harmoniously with the natural environment. The key is to find a balance between aesthetics and functionality, offering a unique and unforgettable sensory experience. To this end, furnishings play a crucial role in defining the space, and investing in solutions that can have multiple uses is essential to optimize its layout.

For all these premises, there is only one solution: modular sofas, chameleonic and extremely versatile, perfect for being reconfigured and adapting to infinite needs. Continue reading and discover our top 5 for summer 2024.

Edra – On the rocks outdoor

The On the Rocks sofa represents a revolution in the concept of comfort, positioning itself as a true masterpiece of design that focuses not only on aesthetics, but also on the well-being of those who live it. This sofa stands out for its soft and sculptural shape, designed to adapt perfectly to personal needs, whether you want to share moments of absolute relaxation with others, or whether you prefer to enjoy a corner of tranquility in solitude.

Without rigid structures to limit comfort, On the Rocks offers four seats of different shapes and two detached backrests, which can be positioned freely, thus allowing to completely customize the arrangement. Its modular nature allows to compose the sofa in a single cohesive configuration or separate the modules, creating new perspectives and dynamics within the environment.

Kettal – Insula

Patricia Urquiola’s Insula modular sofa is a refined reinterpretation of the traditional seat of the Arab majlis, the space where the community gathered to discuss events, welcome guests, and entertain themselves. This sofa stands out for its low and rational shape, characterized by fluid lines and a refined cylindrical backrest, which emphasizes the horizontality and becomes the focal point of the design.

The seats are available in two sizes and allow the use of different types of backrests: single, double, corner and more. The function of this sofa, as in the original majlis, is to encourage socialization: thanks to the multiple configurations available, the Insula adapts to a wide range of social situations, from the most elegant living spaces to more informal lounge environments and even the possibility of lying down, sunbathing, and relaxing.

Cassina – Sail Out

Cassina’s Sail Out modular sofa, designed by Rodolfo Dordoni, captures the essence of 1950s summer relaxation, evoking the soft, inviting shape of the inflatable fabric mattresses of that era.

Modularity is one of the key elements of the Sail Out. The sofa offers an infinite variety of combinations thanks to its three seating modules that can be, in turn, combined with three coordinating elements: a teak side table, a round footrest and an armrest/backrest element adjustable to two heights.
With Sail Out, Cassina manages to blend nostalgia and innovation, creating a sofa that not only recalls the spirit of 1950s seaside resorts, but is also perfectly equipped to meet modern needs for comfort and versatility outdoors.

Roda – Onda

The Onda collection by Roda represents a refined combination of fluid design and enveloping comfort, embodying an informal and sophisticated elegance. This collection, composed of lounge chairs, chaise longues and poufs, is characterized by destructured volumes and soft geometries, which invite to relax in a natural way. They are versatile elements that enrich any outdoor living room, thanks to the combination of the structure and innovative materials such as batyline, belts, ropes, and 3D nets. These structural fabrics not only guarantee great resistance and durability, but also give each product a unique identity, perfectly in line with the most demanding tastes.

The transversal design of the Onda lounge chairs allows them to be easily combined with other furniture, both indoors and outdoors, or to be used alone, combined with a stool or a pouf, creating a perfect set for the garden or patio.

Paola Lenti – Noah

The Noah sofa by Paola Lenti is an example of contemporary design that combines comfort, innovation, and sustainability. This distinctive piece is characterized by its wide and welcoming seat, accompanied by a backrest made of a single mobile cylindrical element, which offers maximum flexibility and customization of comfort.

The padding is made of recyclable polyurethane foam, expertly blended with Aerelle® blue polyester fiber, a material known for its softness and resilience. This layer is further enriched by a top covering in recyclable polyester wrapped in a fixed lining in water-repellent polyester, which guarantees durability and protection against humidity.
In short, Noah is a relaxing experience that combines refined aesthetics, high-quality materials and functionality designed to adapt to modern needs.
