A sophisticated contrast of materials and techniques to embellish the outdoor landscape and offer the utmost in comfort. Like the other pieces in the same family, the Esosoft Outdoor Armchair designed by Antonio Citterio, has an exoskeleton base that supports a shell in hand-woven fibre.
The armchair mingles the industrial dimension with the artisanal: the basket, made with an elaborate weave reminiscent of woven wicker, is envisioned as a container for the cushions that can be freely positioned against the backrest, modifying the seating configuration as needed.
Esosoft Outdoor has a conscious soul: thanks to the work carried out by Cassina LAB, the soft padding of the cushions is made with circular materials, like polyurethane with a percentage of polyols derived from materials of biological origin and recycled PET wadding, laminated to water-repellent fabric to prevent water from penetrating the interior. Thanks to the exposed screws on the metal structure, the base can be disassembled, facilitating recycling of its components at the end of the product’s life cycle.
Regular use of protective covers, available for separate purchase, helps preserve the aesthetic and functional characteristics of the outdoor product.
However, it is recommended to place products intended for outdoor use in controlled environments such as verandas and covered or partially covered terraces, avoiding full exposure to direct sunlight and weather conditions.
Cassina chooses not to treat outdoor woods in order to maximize their natural quality.
Exposure to weather conditions may cause surface oxidation, resulting in the formation of a patina.
This patina can be removed with specific treatments.
