New colours for Aria and a new accessory for ZIC ZAC


NEW COLOURS FOR ARIA

Previewed at the latest Salone del Mobile Furniture Show in Milan, Aria is a project that entails a small sofa, a delightful capacious slatted outdoor (and indoor) seat made of polypropylene with padded cushion pendants. The seat is teamed with a matching coffee table. ARIA has a carefully slatted frame, which is slightly wraparound, with a rhythm of full and empty parts which recalls the theme of romantic wooden fences inthe country. The geometric game of the slats, their varied inclination and spacing, the "embossed" effect of the different joints give the chair the utmost elasticity and slender appeal. Several matt finish colours are available: white, red, coffee, Havana, dove-colour and anthracite teamed with a broad range of cushions in several fabrics and colours.






ZIC ZAC WITH EXTRA KIT CAN BE TAKEN ANYWHERE

Zic Zac is a practical set designed to ensure you can also enjoy the smallest terraces or outdoor spaces. The Zic table can be hooked onto a wall and, thanks to a simple mechanism, it can be folded away parallel to the wall, leaving room to tidy away two Zac chairs within it. Indeed, by pressing a small button, Zac also folds away to make more room. Extremely easy to handle and lightweight, the set is made of fibreglass polypropylene, which affords outstanding resistance toatmospheric agents, is non-toxic, anti-static and stain-resistant. From this year The Zic table is supplied with the special EXTRA KIT, a practical accessory which provides the utmost stability even for the freestanding use of the table. Available in an extensive range of colours (white, anthracite, red, lime, purple, orange and grey) and in two chair models: Classic, smooth photoengraved tone-on-tone with micro beads for an attractive optical effect and Spring, perforated and decorated with a slightly rounded floral motif.

Gemini chair by Nardi

Gemini is one of first monoblock chairs produced by Italian company Nardi. I found this chair in a well-known restaurant in Arzignano (VI) Italy. It has been produced in march 1991 and it is still in operation. It is in very good condition. Polypropylene is the best material for outdoor furniture.

Are wicker made furniture a good option?

I think wicker furniture aren't the right choice. Very hard to clean them.
