Story
The renaissance of a legacy
Cassina presents the Eloro Outdoor sofa as the reinterpretation of an icon from its catalogue, developed with Dordoni Studio for outdoor living while keeping the identity of the system designed by Rodolfo Dordoni. The page says the outdoor version is based on the original design from 2008.
Fine cabinetmaking in iroko
The outline of the legs and the diagonal geometry of the iroko structure convey continuity with the original design. The page ties these details to the cabinetmaking of Cassina's carpentry workshop and to the indoor version.
