A good book, a glass of something chilled, and a day of nothing but sunny skies – spending time at home in the garden or on the terrace is the ideal way to enjoy everything summer has to offer. But to really relax, you first need the perfect outdoor sofa. Earlier models were generally covered with robust, water-resistant fabrics that weren’t especially cosy. Italian designer labels such as Flexform and EMU show that there are more comfortable options.

TheGrandemare例如，由Antonio Citterio在2011年为Antonio Citterio创建的意大利沙发已重新设计以供户外使用。它的座垫和靠背由聚氨酯泡沫和聚酯纤维制成，并覆盖有保护性的防水织物。可移动的织物盖板安装在顶部，以增加舒适感。EMU采用类似的方法坎诺outdoor sofa. The inside of the cushions is made of polyurethane rubber and a layer of polyester fibre resin; the inner cushion cover is fashioned from water-repellent polyamide.

A summer barbecue calls for the right chairs and tables to suit the occasion. Here, Italian designers are increasingly turning to minimalist Scandinavian forms, while also reinterpreting classic pieces of furniture. The1966年休息室椅子was, as the name suggests, designed in 1966 by Richard Schultz at the request of Florence Knoll. The collection is regarded as the precursor to modern outdoor lounge furniture. The elegant chair is extremely weather-resistant, and its sloping seat and long, straight armrests make it an inviting place to sit back and relax.

Flexform has stepped further back in time to breathe new life into theMoka主席，由Mario Asnago和Claudio Vender于1939年设计。粉末涂层的不锈钢框架苗条和极简主义，而编织的聚丙烯纤维座椅则增加了质朴的温暖感。最新的户外休息室家具，例如达芬和Echoes展示斯堪的纳维亚和意大利设计的影响。尽管达芬, whose legs and frame are built in solid African teak, has a cosy, rustic appearance, Echoes is reminiscent of the simple look of a classroom, especially when paired with theFlyoutdoor table designed by Antonio Citterio.

Multifunctional和modular furnitureis a growing trend – and not just for indoor environments likemicro-apartments和co-working spaces. Flexible furnishings are in demand for patios and gardens too. The outdoor furniture collection from Lapalma is focused on elegant simplicity and modularity. For example,ADDby Francesco Rota is based on a white, rectangular aluminium frame, which can be configured as a two-seater, a Récamier-style three-seater, a corner sofa or a bench seat, each available with seat cushions in a range of colours.

Available in various sizes and colours, the pouffes in thekipucollection aren’t just there to provide cosy seating options next to tables and sofas. They also serve as design elements that blend effortlessly into their surroundings and leave no doubt about their source of inspiration: pebbles.AARON, a bar stool with an integrated side table, designed by brothers Pio and Tito Toso, is also truly multifunctional. Both the seat and the tabletop can be swivelled 360 degrees. Thanks to its minimalist design and high-quality materials, the stool can be used at home, in the office or in a restaurant – and is easily carried from A to B.

With comfortable seats, reinterpreted designs and innovative features, modern Italian outdoor furniture shows how high design standards, functionality and robustness can be successfully combined. This way, outdoor spaces can become extended living rooms for hot summer days. You will find even more inspiration from Italy在我们有关当代意大利家具中发现的非凡形状的文章中。
