Story
From an armchair to an outdoor series
The page presents Pablo Outdoor as the outdoor version of the Pablo armchair, keeping its decisive design and innovative proportions. What stays is the wood frame, which the text calls the soul of the original project; for the outdoor series it is made of teak.
A frame designed to be looked after
The frame has an uninterrupted surface so the wood is easy to treat, and the rear fabric panels sit on rods that come away easily. According to the text, this lets owners either leave the wood to age or bring it back to its original condition.
