Strata Outdoor Lounge
Outdoor seating calibrated for sun, rain, and daily comfort
A weather-aware lounge family designed for terraces and courtyards, integrating fast-dry cushions, ventilated frames, and modular shade compatibility.
Design Story
Many outdoor furniture systems prioritize appearance but degrade quickly under UV and moisture stress. Strata addresses lifecycle resilience through marine-grade metal frames, ventilated underside geometry, and quick-release upholstery covers. Modules include corner, chaise, and side-table units that can be rearranged for changing weather and social scenarios.
