Oasis Outdoor Sofa

Overview

Oasis is an outdoor sectional and circular sofa system by Antonio Citterio, dated 2024 by Flexform. The page describes sinuous, enveloping lines that evoke a cozy, relaxing atmosphere, with configurations suited to compact urban settings as well as larger outdoor spaces.

Construction

The backrest is a generous woven cord-and-metal surface with a mesh-like pattern. The structure is tubular stainless steel finished in epoxy powder-coat or embossed lacquer and wrapped in woven polypropylene cord, and the base is black-painted stainless steel with a compact laminated panel. Soft seat and backrest cushions sit in the frame, the upholstery is removable, and the base stands on thermoplastic tips.

A basket for soft cushions

Flexform says the structure of tubular metal is accompanied by entirely hand-woven cord, and that the visual effect is that of a spacious basket welcoming soft seat and backrest cushions. The mesh-like backrest is named as the aesthetic motif that gives the sofa its bold personality.

Textiles and layouts

The page points to a rich textile collection that allows pairings of cushion upholstery, coordinating colours and textures. It also states that the Oasis system lets designers build compositions for compact urban settings as well as larger outdoor spaces.
