Story
A sunbed in large slats
The product sheet says the solid teak is shaped into large slats that give the piece a mix of sturdiness and elegance. Cassina's page introduces it as an outdoor sunbed with an assertive, sophisticated personality.
Teak left untreated
Cassina does not treat the outdoor woods on its products, so the teak keeps its natural quality and may form a patina with weather exposure.
