Concept
Designed for indoor environments in 2020, Torii Nest migrates to open-air living spaces, in the armchair, lounge
and dining little armchairs versions. With structural details linked to Japanese tradition, the seats play with round
edged volumes, thin profiles and the apparent formal simplicity of an extremely intricate design.
The varnished tubular steel frame of the backrest is covered in woven cord in the shades Ecru and Dark Brown,
sporting a design inspired by Vienna straw, but with a larger mesh.
It sits on a base in natural teak or Dark Brown stained mahogany, supported by varnished aluminium legs with a
polished, Bronze-coloured, anti-touch finish. With its backrest in the shape of a perfect circle, and a
sophisticated visual lightness that embraces the padded seat, Torii Nest Outdoor was conceived to meet various
requirements, in terms of both functionality and ergonomics.
The three types are available in the fixed and swivel without return versions, thanks to a tried and tested
mechanism, a novelty for the outdoor environment.
From the master design of the Torii Nest Outdoor swivel armchair comes out an entire family of seats.
Characterised by the iconic woven cord backrest, with a design inspired by Vienna straw, but with a wider mesh, the
Torii Nest Outdoor seats vary in size and type, from the two-seater sofa with a curved silhouette to the round chaiselongue.
The feeling of lightness provided by the woven rope, permeable to air and light, combines perfectly with the
delicate aesthetic of the base, raised off the ground thanks to slender Bronze aluminium feet.
The ethereal appearance of these furnishing pieces dialogues harmoniously with their extreme materiality: the
backrest, an enveloping nest, embraces and encloses the soft cushions resting on a solid natural teak frame. A
succession of materials with a strong tactile impact and a welcoming feel, as if these sofas were primarily places in
which to let go and relax.
A design that is at times romantic and at times contemporary, thanks to its compact proportions, and easily fits into
the decor on metropolitan terraces and in Hospitality settings, satisfying both the most classic and the most modern
aesthetic tastes.
