Outdoor sofa
Ayana is offered as a two- or three-seat outdoor sofa. Its frame gives wood the central structural role, while the armrest can take a removable cushion intended to make reclining more comfortable.

Story
Structural reference
B&B Italia compares the backrest to a Swedish wall bar adapted into a load-bearing element. The manufacturer also relates the sofa's depth and height to south-east Asian tradition.
Designed for separation
Ayana's materials are designed to be separated at the end of the product's life. The teak frame carries FSC certification, and the official sheet dates Naoto Fukasawa's design to 2020.
