Story
Manual back adjustment
Each back can be placed in two positions. A solid-teak post, shaped as a branch-like support, is fixed by two wood pins rather than by a powered mechanism.
Outdoor cushion build-up
SoloSoff® combines air-blown polyester fibre and memory foam. The sheet adds variable-density polyurethane, polyester wadding and water-repellent polyester lining around the cushions.
