Collection Story
Origin
Cassina's Dine Out pages credit Rodolfo Dordoni. The chair page describes the Dine Out family of furnishings as crafted to enhance outdoor dining rooms in the pursuit of comfort, camaraderie and sophisticated style.
Design Language
Teak, cord and technical fabric recur across the seating pages. The chair and armchair pair a solid teak structure with hand-woven polypropylene cord around the armrests and the upper part of the backrest, and the cushions use water-repellent fabric over a polyurethane foam insert. The tables are described as standing out for their sophisticated style, with conical bases in concrete or terrazzo and tops in concrete, terrazzo or natural teak.
