Ortigia Outdoor Sofa

Overview

Flexform dates Ortigia Outdoor, a stand-alone sofa credited to Flexform Design Center, to 2019. The page says the Ortigia Outdoor family expands to include a sofa, with graceful lines and compact proportions that suit modestly-sized patios or porches as well as hospitality spaces.

Construction

The structure is solid wood, artisan-crafted with techniques the page compares to fine cabinetmaking, and the sheet names solid iroko for the structure and backrest. The seat is upholstered, with marine plywood and polyurethane foam under a protective water-repellent laminated fabric, and the backrest carries an entirely hand-woven cord pattern. The feet are die-cast zama resting on thermoplastic tips.

Compact proportions

Flexform presents the sofa as an addition to the Ortigia Outdoor family, with graceful lines and compact proportions. The page calls it versatile and an easy fit for modestly-sized patios or porches, and for hospitality spaces.

Cabinetmaking and weaving

The page says the solid wood structure is artisan-crafted with techniques that call to mind the tradition of fine cabinetmaking, and is available in an array of elegant finishes. The backrest is embellished with an exquisite, entirely hand-woven pattern in a palette of colours.
