Design elements for outdoor spaces: a combination of functionality and aesthetics

In the field of outdoor furniture, the focus on design has become increasingly central, with growing demand for elements that combine aesthetics and functionality. Chairs, tables and complements are no longer mere accessories, but real protagonists of outdoor spaces, giving them personality and style.

Innovative and sustainable materials:
One of the main trends is the use of innovative and sustainable materials, capable of withstanding the weather and blending harmoniously into their surroundings. Materials such as heat-treated wood and powder-coated aluminium are proving to be true allies in ensuring durability and sustainability, without compromising on refined aesthetics.

The Tulip SA514 table with lacquered aluminium base and ceramic top represents the must-have of contemporary furniture, because it gives rooms a timeless elegance capable of lasting over time, typical of the Eero Saarinen

Versatility and modularity:
Another distinguishing feature of contemporary outdoor furniture is the focus on versatility and modularity. Seats and tables equipped with folding or stackable mechanisms allow space to be optimised and adapted to different needs, transforming outdoor spaces into dynamic and flexible areas.

Chairs such as Alice in metal or HUG_2384 in tecnopolymer, both form the SCAB collection, are not only stackable, but also ergonomic and very light for easy lifting and moving.

Integration with nature:
With the arrival of Spring and the imminent awakening of nature, it is easy to indulge in the desire for relaxation and well-being outdoors, conveyed through neutral colours and natural textures that contribute to a cosy and relaxing atmosphere.
The Dress Code Smart armchairs from the Scab collection, in fact, stand out for their soft and delicate textures, and the fabric seat make them infinitely comfortable and fresh.

In short, whether it is a small balcony, a garden or a patio, outdoor furniture can completely transform the experience of living outdoors. But to fully enjoy its benefits we need to follow a few small steps:

"Less is better than more"

Being minimalistic does not necessarily mean depriving oneself of comfort. This trend is translated into clean lines, neutral colours and natural materials that create a cosy and relaxing environment. Opt for wooden furniture, soft cushions and light fabrics for a minimalist yet comfortable look.

"Colourful life"
Break the monotony with touches of vibrant colour. Whether it is cushions, carpets or plant pots, the inclusion of bright colours can add vitality and cheer to your outdoor space, making your afternoons much grittier.
Emerald green, cobalt blue and bright orange are just some of the popular options for this spring.

"Shine bright like a diamond
Light up your breaks: lighting plays a key role in outdoor decoration. Decorative lights, hanging lanterns or scented candles
can transform your outdoor space into a magical and cosy place even after the sunset.

"Be green"
Today, fortunately, more and more people care about our planet and are paying close attention to the environmental impact of their purchases. Choose furniture made from recycled or sustainable materials and opt for ornamental plants to promote biodiversity in your garden.

At the heart of it all is the fact that outdoor design cannot do without the ability to integrate harmoniously with the surrounding nature. With our products you can transform your outdoor space into an oasis of tranquillity and style, perfect for enjoying the spring season.
