A NEW OUTDOOR With the presentation of its new Riviera collection, Talenti reasserts its liking for linear, contemporary design that also introduces an intriguing element of innovation in the world of outdoor furnishings. The unusual combinations of materials like ceramic, leather and aluminium translate into a new elegance and create new tactile experiences, such as that offered by the contact with grès porcelain chair arms. The design bears the signature of French architect Jean-Philippe Nuel, a famous name in the world of luxury interiors and tailor-made projects for the residential, cruise and contract sectors.

RELAXATION AS A PHILOSOPHY... And as therapy, because Varaschin outdoor life is a way of looking after yourself. This philosophy underpins all this brand’s collections. For several years now Varaschin has built up its presence in the yacht-building sector. The common element in the different collections is woven sections in an enduring synthetic that also performs well in challenging conditions like the marine environment. It is made using manual techniques and methods that are constantly updated. One particularly striking weave is displayed in the Emma line, designed by Monica Armani and offering all the elements that enable users to enjoy relaxation in its fullest sense – chairs, armchairs, daybeds, low tables, loungers and sunshades. The latest arrival is Emma Cross, shaped like a flower corolla (photo, right) that is an irresistible invitation to relax and socialise.

THE BEAUTY OF NATURE The Visionnaire outdoor collection is a response to an ever-growing need – to re-establish a relationship between humankind and nature, a link that is vital for mental and physical wellbeing. The brand’s new strategy also highlights the emotional aspect of the interaction between object and user by adopting materials that can communicate the essence of living according to the dictates of nature. This vision is embodied in a series of elements, where the wicker supports interwoven leather fixed by steel clips bearing the Visionnaire logo (below, the daybed). The Stankar line, designed by La Conca, takes up the traditional weave and revamps it in a distinctive style, with rope attached to curved framework (photo, top). With the Aminta chair (left) by Giuseppe Viganò, Visionnaire has sought to create a bridge between inside and out. The indoor version has a removable padded cover attached to the back, a loose cushion that makes it suitable for outdoor settings.
