Dehors, terraces and green spaces are enriched with many new features: furnishings and details of all kinds, pluses and new must-haves capable of making moments spent outdoors even more magical.
The good fortune of owning a garden, a terrace or a porch brings with it the temptation to create a space to share with family or friends, or to create a special personal oasis, tailored to your dreams. The external environment, however, presents its own problems: humidity, rain, wind and any other atmospheric agent risk, in fact, damaging less durable materials. Without forgetting the deteriorating power of the sun. The design, as always, responds to everyone’s needs with cushions, armchairs, tables and coffee tables, carpets and fascinating weatherproof accessories: all you have to do is open the door and enjoy the summer days, inspired by the latest outdoor innovations. 1 – NATURAL WOOD The dining chair with armrests by Gervasoni belongs to the Eidos collection, made of natural teak wood, durable and resistant to atmospheric agents, humidity and salt.
