Ontario Outdoor Sofa

Overview

Flexform dates Ontario, an outdoor sectional sofa credited to Antonio Citterio, to 2020. The page says its sleek lines reach their highest potential in luxury materials, here the solid wood chosen for the structure, and that the double depth suits creative, versatile arrangements.

Construction

The structure is made entirely of thick wood slats and cast metal spacers with an epoxy powder-coat finish; the sheet names solid iroko and die-cast zama. A steel perimeter frame, set back slightly from the edges, lifts the sofa off the pavement for protection against dampness, and the sheet lists a 316 stainless steel base with a compact laminated panel. Seat and backrest cushions are padded, the backrest cushions come with a bolster that rests against the wood, and the upholstery is removable.

Wood slats and cast spacers

Flexform describes the warm texture and feel of the wood as giving bold personality to the sofa's structure, made entirely of thick wood slats and sleek cast metal spacers. Against the formal lines of that structure, the generously padded seat and backrest cushions are called quite enticing.

The bolster

The page notes that the backrest cushions come with the characteristic bolster, which it says has become one of the company's distinctive elements over time. The bolster rests against the wood structure for especially supportive back comfort.
