Grandemare Outdoor Sofa

Overview

Grandemare Outdoor is the outdoor version of the Grandemare sofa by Antonio Citterio. The page calls it a seating system with the practicality and comfort of an indoor upholstered sofa, meant for patios, terraces and porches.

Construction

The base pairs 316 stainless steel, given an epoxy powder-coat finish, with a compact laminated panel, with thermoplastic tips under the feet. Seat cushions combine polyurethane foam and polyester fibre, wrapped in a laminated fabric that repels water; the fabric is removable. Solid iroko is the material of the wooden armrest, which doubles as a table top with a compartment.

Specifications

• Code 0269A2 Unit: 88 x 106 x 95 cm
• Armrest finishes: 4 iroko finishes

Soft shapes without sharp corners

Flexform describes Grandemare Outdoor as a clustering of soft geometric shapes, all devoid of sharp corners. The sofa rests on a compact laminated platform, which the page calls a state-of-the-art material suited to outdoor settings.

Wood in place of an upholstered arm

In place of the traditional upholstered armrest, an element made entirely of solid wood can serve as a table top surface, with a compartment to store objects. The system is modular, which the manufacturer says encourages a vast array of arrangements, and it pairs with namesake coffee tables of solid wood slats and metal alloy spacers.
