One of the trends that has changed the way of understanding the home in recent years concerns the attempt to furnish outdoor areas as if they were an extension of the indoor areas, replicating their comfort and at the same time seeking continuity with the surrounding environment.
It is also on these premises that the Phoenix garden sofa was born, designed by Vincent Van Duysen for Molteni as part of the Timeout collection: available in two versions, the structure combines the quality and typical details of an interior furniture with the essential functionality required by a outdoor seat, therefore easy to move in order to easily create the desired configurations, also playing with the other elements of the collection, such as armchairs, tables and benches.
The timeless elegance conferred by the contrast of materials and colors used for Phoenix is perfect for furnishing the garden in a discreet and intimate way, thanks also to the clear references to the Mediterranean tradition which add warmth to a minimal and contemporary design.
THE INSPIRATION OF THE MOLTENI PHOENIX SOFA
Like the other elements of the Timeout collection, the Phoenix sofa by Molteni also features the typical shiney color painted aluminum band that outlines the profile of the structure, becoming softer and more rounded near the corners and acting both as a "frame" for the entire seat , as well as forming both the armrests and the support feet.
The thin lines that characterize the profile of Phoenix give a marked idea of lightness and dynamism, confirmed by the reduced weight of the aluminum, clearly lower than that of iron, which also in practice allows you to easily move a generously sized sofa, available in the with widths of 150 and 180 centimeters.
MAIN FEATURES
The main finish of the Phoenix sofa is made up of burnished painted aluminum which characterizes the entire seat and, with its continuous stroke, actually embraces the cushions. Also noteworthy is the contrast between this metal profile and the polypropylene rope covering, which can be declined in the colors anthracite, olive green and desert yellow.
Beyond the chromatic choice, however, the dense mixed result of a totally manual craftsmanship stands out, which recalls the techniques with which the baskets and panniers of the typical Mediterranean tradition are made. This handcrafted detail manages to make a structure with an essential aesthetic desired by Van Duysen "warmer", creating a dialogue between different materials and colors which is the basis of the sense of intimate elegance transmitted by Phoenix and the Timeout collection.
