V Pavilion designed by Vincent Van Duysen for Kettal is based on the idea of creating a dialogue between inside and outside. The pavilion is designed to be connected to the main building and the outdoor area at the same time. The structure is made of aluminium porticos that support a cantilevered insulating roof. The open spaces between the columns can be assembled with various claddings: glass, blinds to regulate the light, curtains, stoneware panels, but also furnishings such as kitchens.
Conjuring up Arabian atmospheres, the Alcova collection creates places for relaxation and wellbeing, with just the right touch of privacy and seclusion. A place of rest, of value, and passion. Atmosphera recreates the idea of this feeling in the Alcova collection, poised between furniture and architecture for exteriors. An aluminium structure supports a system of sliding panels in teak and aluminium that offer protection from the sun and wind, allowing light to delicately filter through. Inside can be accommodated Lounge, Daybed and Dining options, openly connected with nature but at the same time able to protect privacy and wellbeing. Thanks to the light blinds and ergonomic cushions the result is a welcoming place where you can completely relax out in the open air.
An archipelago of comfort is how Gordon Guillaumier has imagined the Eolie collection for Roda. This is how designer Gordon Guillaumier explains the concept behind the Eolie collection for Roda. Sun-loungers, low tables and gazebos, conceived as individual pieces or grouped together for a terrace, poolside or by the sea, they create genuine islands of wellbeing. The clean and simple design is emphasised by the choice of materials: FSC Iroko wood, either natural or painted in various colours, worked in wide slats in rhythmic succession. Meanwhile the gazebo, that recalls a traditional cabana, provides shade for a pair of sun loungers placed side by side or facing one another in a cosy and secluded space.
The distinctive feature of Carrera, the new bioclimatic pergola from Pratic, lies in the innovative system of shading made up of alternating fixed and mobile blades that follow the natural orientation of the sun. Thanks to a dynamic design, the mobile blades lift and slide to the point of disappearing above the fixed ones in perfect alignment. What is more, depending on the angle of the sun or the amount of light desired, the blades can be moved from right to left and vice-versa, exceeding the perimeter of the fixed blade to stop in any intermediary position. This technology, combined with Pratic weather sensors, means that Carrera’s movement can be regulated to follow that of the sun, from dawn through to dusk.
Designed by Raffaello Galiotto, the chair has been inspired by the relaxing movement of ocean waves. This product for outdoor use completes the Net collection by Nardi and is made from fully-recyclable fibreglass polypropylene and features handy clips for hanging towels. The lowered seat position together with the angle of the backrest favours ergonomic weight distribution and physical wellbeing.

The Coco collection by Unopiù, designed by Andrea Andretta, is enriched with new elements, including a sunbed. Its slender graphite-coloured structure is distinguished by the two large wheels that allow it to be moved with extreme ease and the ecru rope details that embellish its silhouette. The adjustable backrest allows you to choose the inclination and guarantees maximum comfort.
Following the Midsummer Milano philosophy, “comfort shouldn’t be confined to indoor spaces”. Tangram is a system of outdoor beds and seating: the basic shape is square, but it’s easy to reconfigure it in many shapes, with or without cushions. The woodworking is of marine quality, the cushions, covered in Loro Piana Interiors fabric, are padded with crin to ensure breathability. The design of the bed system was achieved thanks to the collaboration of Daniela Puppa.
