Outdoor furniture: outdoor sofas

The sun has finally come out and the days are getting longer and hotter (at least here in Italy!), this week our trip in the world of outdoor and garden furniture has reached another important destination.

We've already talked about tables and chairs, dreaming about our great summer parties, but I think we shouldn't forget the pleasure of resting and relaxing under the sun: and for this reason today we talk about outdoor sofas.

Outdoor sofas bring the sitting room outside, to your garden or terrace, creating at the same time a comfortable, muffled, cosy environment ready to welcome you when you need to ease up a little and relax under the stars, at the shadow of a tree or under a gazebo. A relaxing time that changes perspective, because it enjoys the fresh air of the evening giving relief to our minds and bodies.

A resting time that looks more natural, away from indoor technological entertainments, from TVs, videogames, stereos, more connected with nature and its scents, its flavours, its sounds and silences. Or again, the beauty of relaxing directly overlooking an urban environment, that can sometimes treat us with breathtaking views.

But don't think outdoor sofas are necessary different from indoor ones: it's true, materials must be different, as they have to resist to weather conditions, and make the cleaning easier, but the aesthetics of some sofas, designed for gardens and outdoor spaces in general, can be exactly the same as the indoor sofas. They can create a strange optical illusion making us wondering ... "What is my sofa doing in the garden??".

Funny, yes, but also nice, pleasant, reassuring, because, as a matter of fact, it extends our homes boundaries beyond the walls, beyond limited spaces.

For example, have a look at Asami Outdoor waterproof sofa: doesn't it look like an indoor sofa just placed outside? Softness and elasticity are both guaranteed by a great shape and an extreme comfort, but also the resistance to weather conditions is assured by the materials used; methacrylate for the structure and waterproof fabric or eco-leather for the cushions.

Also Luxor outdoor sofa and amrchair with cushions have a design that reminds indoor sitting rooms, and in this case too the acrylic fabric cushions and the aluminium structure covered in wicker guarantee resistance to atmospheric agents.

Geo outdoor two seats sofa and armchair are more devoted to an outdoor aesthetics, with very pleasant round shapes. The aluminium structure covered in synthetic rattan ensures high resistance through time, while the acrylic fabric of the cushions can be easily cleaned.
