Outdoor spaces are no longer just an extension of interiors — they are destinations in their own right. As terraces, gardens, and patios become an integral part of hospitality and residential design, the demand for high-end outdoor furniture and accessories continues to grow. In response, designers are continuously reimagining outdoor living with collections that expertly blend luxury, comfort, and durability. 

From sculptural seating to modular lounging, explore our latest outdoor inspirations to transform any space into a sophisticated open-air retreat.

Tribù – Connected with nature

Outdoor design isn’t just about furnishing a space — it’s about curating an atmosphere, a way of living that flows smoothly between nature and comfort. Tribù’s latest collections merge organic forms, earthy textures, and masterful craftsmanship to redefine outdoor sophistication. Every curve and surface is designed to enhance comfort, encouraging moments of relaxation and connection.

The Elio Additions by Yabu Pushelberg take inspiration from the gentle curves of water-polished pebbles, introducing new sofas, daybeds, and poufs that blend refined aesthetics with an inviting softness. With plush cushions and flowing silhouettes, they create the perfect retreat for boutique hotel terraces or stylish restaurant patios, where guests can unwind in effortless luxury.

A true conversation piece, the Cesta Lounge Chair by Monica Armani reinterprets the art of basket weaving with an intricate, handwoven backrest and a smooth 360-degree swivel function. Designed for those who love to lounge, it’s an ideal companion for a cozy café corner or an intimate garden escape, where relaxation meets contemporary craftsmanship.

Expanding on its timeless elegance, the Amanu Additions by Yabu Pushelberg introduce a floating three-seater teak sofa and sculptural coffee tables that seamlessly integrate into their surroundings. With an understated yet striking presence, these pieces elevate sophisticated hotel lobbies, upscale outdoor dining spaces, or any setting that calls for quiet refinement and enduring style.

Muuto – Outdoor living with Scandinavian ease

Muuto’s outdoor collection merges Scandinavian simplicity with durability, offering weather-resistant finishes and a bold color palette designed to complement any setting.

Rooted in nature’s calming influence, the collection features clean lines and functional beauty without compromising on comfort. Research shows that just 20 minutes outdoors can reduce stress — Muuto’s designs transform outdoor areas into year-round retreats for quiet moments and social gatherings alike.

With its inviting yet refined aesthetic, Settle brings the ease of indoor living to open-air spaces.

Roche Bobois – Iconic design meets outdoor freedom

Roche Bobois reimagines outdoor living with bold designs, luxurious textures, and vibrant colors. From modular seating to sculptural loungers, each piece blends artistry with comfort, creating inviting spaces where relaxation meets creativity.

Designed by Hans Hopfer, the Mah Jong Outdoor sofa brings the freedom of modular living to open-air spaces. Cushions appear to float above the ground on openwork platforms, offering both visual lightness and practical surfaces for sunbathing essentials. First created in 1971, Mah Jong remains an icon of adaptable design, the Wonderland composition dressed in Missoni’s signature zigzags, florals, and graphic patterns, transforming outdoor lounging into a vibrant, high-fashion experience.

The Temps Calme Outdoor collection, designed by Studio Roche Bobois, blurs the boundaries between indoor luxury and al fresco comfort. With its round, modular form, the Temps Calme sun lounger is as versatile as it is elegant, designed to bring the intimacy of a living room into the open air.

The Bombom Outdoor collection, designed by Joana Vasconcelos, is a celebration of organic shapes and artistic expression. Inspired by the artist’s crochet wall sculptures, these curvaceous sofas, cocktail tables, and rugs bring a gallery-like presence to outdoor spaces. Soft pastels, reminiscent of Lisbon sunsets, add warmth and charm, while movable backrests allow for a personalized lounging experience. Bombom invites you to interact, reconfigure, and sink into a world of fluid forms and vibrant color.

Designed to withstand the elements while maintaining a light, airy presence, each piece reflects Vipp’s commitment to form and function in equal measure.

Familiar silhouettes from Vipp’s coveted indoor furniture reappear in this outdoor series, now reimagined for life under open skies. The collection includes dining tables, a chair, a sofa, lounge tables, and a lounge chair — each thoughtfully crafted using durable materials like powder-coated aluminium, teak, polyrattan, and weather-resistant textiles.

With innovative materials and caring craftsmanship, these pieces bring comfort and character to both private retreats and lively public spaces.

The Traverse Collection by Erwan Bouroullec is an invitation to slow living — crafted from die-cast aluminium and heat-treated ash, it develops a beautiful natural patina over time, making it a timeless choice for sunlit courtyards and inviting rooftop terraces. Designed to withstand the elements while exuding effortless elegance, it’s as at home in a secluded garden as it is in a bustling café patio.

A fresh take on a beloved classic, the Palissade Cord Collection by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec softens the industrial edge of the original design with handwoven recycled polyester cords. The result? A tactile, inviting aesthetic that’s perfect for poolside lounging or a cozy outdoor dining area, where design meets laid-back sophistication.

GUBI – Bohemian sophistication in the open air

Originally sketched by Tove Kindt-Larsen in 1936, the Grace Lounge Chair has long been admired for its sculptural curves and organic charm. Now, GUBI brings its graceful presence into open-air spaces with an outdoor edition that retains its timeless silhouette while introducing modern durability. Crafted from powder-coated aluminum and handwoven polyethylene fibers, this reimagined version mirrors the artisanal appeal of natural rattan while offering enhanced weather resistance — perfect for sun-drenched terraces, lush garden lounges, or breezy beachfront patios.

Lightweight and versatile, the Grace Outdoor Lounge Chair transitions easily between indoor and outdoor settings, adapting to the rhythm of the seasons. Available in three sophisticated hues — Black, Alabaster White, and Mushroom Gray — it complements any natural backdrop, whether nestled among verdant greenery or accenting a minimalist rooftop retreat.

Inspired by the communal traditions of the Arab majlis, the Insula Modular Sofa reimagines low, expansive seating for contemporary living. Defined by its smooth, sculptural shapes and distinctive roll-backrest, it emphasizes horizontal lines, creating a grounding yet inviting presence. Insula is designed for gathering — its modular flexibility allows it to transform easily, whether anchoring a stylish office lounge, providing a relaxing escape at home, or shaping an open-air setting for sunlit conversations. Crafted with an orthogonal aluminum base and generously cushioned seating, it balances architectural structure with supreme comfort, making it the ideal statement piece for any social space.

 

With the Plumon collection, Patricia Urquiola introduces a poetic approach to outdoor furniture — one inspired by the act of dressing and undressing. This collection brings together a lightweight, structured teak frame and a voluminous, tailored “dress” that wraps around it with elegance. Its generous proportions reflect Brazil’s design ethos, where spacious, comfortable furnishings blur the line between home and nature, inviting effortless relaxation.

Designed for versatility and ease, the Plumon Dining Chair and Club Chair invite casual sophistication to al fresco dining and lounge areas, where their generous form embraces the sitter in a cocoon of softness. Meanwhile, the Plumon tables, crafted using cutting-edge 3D stoneware printing, push the boundaries of material innovation — each piece uniquely formed without molds, embracing organic imperfections that make every surface one of a kind.

By marrying tradition with technology, Urquiola’s Plumon collection reflects a future where craftsmanship and digital artistry merge, shaping furniture that is as intuitive as it is expressive — perfect for terraces, poolside retreats, and outdoor living spaces that celebrate form, function, and a touch of the unexpected.
