Story
An outdoor armchair for the Husk collection
Patricia Urquiola's own page describes this model as the moment the Husk collection for B&B Italia extended to include an outdoor armchair. It gives the body as solid white, the four metal legs as painted white or black, and the cushions as attached to the backrest with two snaps.
B&B Italia's page and sheet add that the shell is a single colour while the fixed seat support comes in different colours, and that the cushions are offered with larger sizes on the seat or on the back.

Fabrics that shed rain
Urquiola's page says the cushion cover is a high-tech fabric that withstands the elements by letting rainwater run off.
