Crinoline — A Series Of Outdoor Seats Whose Very Name Echoes Romantic Nineteenth-Century Ladies’ Skirts

The armchair with a high backrest is characterized by a wide hollow base, also echoed in the seat and in the curvature of the back. It comes in two versions: with a polyethylene fibre interlacing, or in two colours of abaca for base and seat. In the latter version, the backrest is made even more precious and romantic by a floral interlacing motif.

The small armchair is characterised by a curved double shell silhouette with polyethylene fibre interlacing. The seat cushion is upholstered in a wide range of outdoor fabrics.

The Crinoline series also includes small armchairs, chairs and stools.
