Outdoor living with style and functionality

The quality of life outdoors is a key factor in our well-being. When the days allow it, the desire to spend more time outdoors increases, whether it is one's own garden, the terrace of a restaurant or the swimming pool of the hotel where one is staying. SchönhuberFranchi's proposals for living en plein air are all about comfort and more: latest-generation materials, extensions of existing lines and new colours make the most of outdoor living spaces. Soft, enveloping upholstery covered with modern technical fabrics make room for unique furnishing solutions, for an invitation to total relaxation between aesthetic and formal refinement SchönhuberFranchi, a historic brand that deals in high quality outdoor furniture is able to provide all-round strategic consultancy, offering exclusive proposals and tools for tailor-made and customised solutions.

Briccola, the new upholstery design by Marcello Ziliani, is inspired by the composition of the irregular rows of wooden poles on the Grand Canal. The backrest is made of a fan of 'briccole' tied by bands of fabric, while the seat and cushions have rounded shapes. The Shire chair and armchair, by Piero Lissoni, stylishly furnish large green spaces and terraces, lending elegance to 'open air' locations. The shapes are sinuous for maximum comfort; batyline straps add a contemporary touch. Designed by architect Lorenzo Bellini, Java is a collection that stems from the desire to bring the traditional aesthetic canons of indoor collections outdoors. The textile component is its defining element, like precious outdoor velvet. The loungers accommodate generous cushions and large mattresses. Laser-cut aluminium is the supporting structure of the Lara Caffi, T-soft series of armchairs, two- and three-seater sofas and loungers. Generous padding is used for the seats and backrests.
