Just reading the names of the new outdoor collections, one can sense a strong connection with nature, botany and the idea of outdoor living. Terraces, gardens and pool edges are enriched with ever-evolving furnishings that are the result of studies and research into increasingly advanced materials and technologies. Each element, from modular structures to adjustable tables, is distinguished by a sustainable design that invites outdoor living with style and practicality.

Kettal’s Insula sofa (on cover) is Patricia Urquiola’s contemporary interpretation of the traditional seating system typical of Arab majlis, spaces where the community gathered to socialize. The design translates into a low modular sofa with soft and rational shapes, characterized by a roll backrest that serves as a focal point, emphasizing horizontality.

The outdoor collection Luma, designed by Dougan Clarke for Tuuci, represents luxury thanks to Aluma-Forge™, the cold welding that joins stainless steel, polymer, and aluminum for long-lasting durability. Enriched with custom finishes and characterized by the distinctive Aluma-Weave™ pattern, each piece exudes precision and craftsmanship.

The Erica collection, designed by Antonio Citterio for B&B Italia, is enriched with new proposals, introducing an expanded range of seating, tables, finishes, and variations for 2025. First launched in 2017, Erica has steadily grown into a bestseller, now evolving into a complete system that embraces both form and function. Among the novelties is a sofa with a curved design (pictured) that lends itself to creating dynamic and convivial solutions for outdoor relaxation. This evolution allows the collection to suit various outdoor environments, such as dining areas, poolside retreats, nautical settings, and urban terraces. The collection maintains its distinguished features: lightweight, durable powder-coated die-cast aluminum frames, and high-tensile polypropylene fibre interlacing, specifically designed for outdoor durability.

The Ogado low dining table, created by Brent De Meulenaere for Manutti, can easily transform by adjusting the base, offering a lower profile ideal for informal meals. The smooth, circular top, available in ceramic or teak, invites comfort and relaxation. The sculpted wood base echoes the collection’s organic inspiration.
The collection designed by Workshop/APD for Perennials and Sutherland introduces the Drift Sofa and Drift Chaise, characterized by lines inspired by a ship’s hull and a suspended structure that imparts lightness. The Drift Chaise features wheels that add functionality to its elegance. Completing the collection are the Archer and Anchor tables, which combine materials such as wood, GFRC (Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete), and aluminum.
SALONE: Hall 22/A31 | MDW25: Via Alessandro Manzoni 11
The term Jun means “pure and sincere” in Japanese, perfectly capturing the essence of this collection, which aims to resonate deeply with the heart. Designed by Marco Acerbis, the recent Compasso d’Oro winner, for Talenti, Jun embodies a harmonious balance between voluminous cushions and the clean lines of its teak structure. This design highlights a two-dimensional perception by minimizing the thickness of the wood, allowing the cushions to take center stage. Jun embraces an immediate and authentic design, free from rhetorical frills or redundancies. Inspired by simplicity and elegance, the collection showcases the inherent beauty of the wood, highlighting meticulous detailing. The structure seamlessly merges with the backrest and armrest fabrics, creating a semi-bidimensional effect. This collection exudes a “sense of nature” and balances minimalism with volume.
SALONE: Hall 24/C25
Carrera by Pratic is the first shading system with alternating fixed and movable slats, capable of lifting and overlapping each other, following the natural movement of the sun. The innovation lies in the dynamic design of the cover: fixed and movable aluminum slats alternate on two depth levels. With one gesture, the first ones lift and slide until they disappear above the fixed ones.
SALONE: Hall 14/A23 | MDW25: Via Pontaccio 19
Maximo is a modular sofa designed by Raffaello Galiotto for Nardi. Its structure is made of mass-colored regenerated resin, and its fabrics are highly recycled. It features two new practical components: the side storage, easily attachable to the seat, and the side table, which can be free-standing or inserted anywhere in the composition.
SALONE: Hall 22/A27
The new Pasadena collection, designed by Jean-Marie Massaud for Vondom, includes various elements: a lounge chair, modular sofa, coffee table, and sunbed. Its architectural approach and sensitivity to materials result in pieces capable of transforming any outdoor space into a serene place. The connection between Jean-Marie Massaud and Vondom brings Pasadena to life, embracing outdoor (and indoor) spaces with soft shapes, warmth, and perfectly balanced proportions, inviting maximum relaxation. Pasadena’s equilibrium lies in the harmony of sinuous profiles, fluid lines, and evident comfort. The outcome is an elegant universe where pure forms merge with outdoor living pleasure. Massaud describes Pasadena’s ambition as turning an archetype into something architecturally proportioned yet immensely comfortable.
