×Bringing timeless aesthetics and informal comfort to alfresco settings, Cassina’s Esosoft Outdoor collection designed by Antonio Citterio offers a new complete system comprising a two- and three-seater sofa and end element, a love-bed, an armchair and a series of low tables with solid Iroko wood slatted tops.

×Characterised by warm colours and intriguing visual and textural contrasts, Esosoft Outdoor maintains the structural composition of the Esosoft family of indoor furniture. The emblematic metal exoskeleton base supports a shell made of hand-woven fibre resembling wicker, which is similar to a natural material, yet guarantees greater durability, maintenance ease and resistance to abrasions, heat and UV rays.
Its soft cushions, which can be placed on the seat and positioned freely to form the backrest, are embellished with a grosgrain border and upholstered with Mediterranean shades of terracotta, green, turquoise and yellow. The refined character of the frame can be left exposed even when the cushions are being washed or maintained.

×Thanks to the work carried out by Cassina LAB, Esosoft Outdoor has a conscious soul. The soft padding of the cushions is made with circular materials, such as polyurethane, with a percentage of polyols derived from biological sources and recycled PET wadding protected by a water-repellent canvas. The end of life recycling of the product’s components is enabled by the possibility to disassemble the base, thanks to visible screws on the metal structure.
