Story
Solid turned wood
Every part of the Tessa Outdoor frame is solid turned wood. Traditional joinery calls for expert craftsmanship and lets the wood's natural texture and feel come through.
Woven seat and backrest
The seat and backrest are hand-woven in polypropylene cord, offered in a sophisticated palette of colors. Optional soft cushions are held in place by slender straps. The Tessa Outdoor family also includes an ottoman, a bench and a coffee table.
