Warm weather and sunny days are approaching fast in the Northern Hemisphere, marking it prime time to look at ways to upgrade or craft new outdoor spaces. With a huge portfolio of products on its platform, sampling service Material Bank simplifies the process of finding designs that are just right for the exteriors that will make this summer complete.
BATYLINE EDEN
Serge Ferrari Group
Ideal for tensioned installation and cushion covering alike, Serge Ferrari Group’s Batyline Eden outdoor fabric combines softness and high performance properties. Offered in 25 colours, the textile – cool and breathable – is 100 per cent recyclable.
OXIDE
Porcelanosa
Large-format porcelain tiles providing the look of oxidized steel, the Oxide range brings a rustic, ambient feel to outdoor spaces. The Xtone by Porcelanosa surfaces are inspired by well-worn aesthetics and the strength of steel as a material.
TALO
Expormim
A hexagonal dining table by Altherr Désile Park for Expormim, Talo comprises highly resistant, sustainable materials, taking cues from rocky landscapes. Concrete made of natural mineral components and organic fibres forms Talo’s base, while Dekton® and Fenix NTM® are used for its top.
MARVEL TRAVERTINE
Atlas Concorde
Paying homage to the material palette of classical architecture, Atlas Concorde’s Marvel Travertine porcelain surfacing emulates the appearance of luxury stone. Representing a collaboration between Atlas Concorde and Hirsch Bedner Associates, the line reproduces colours, cuts and patterns found in nature.
OLIVO
Isimar
A family of chairs and stools newly bolstered with lounge editions, Isimar’s Olivo collection utilizes polyester powder-coated galvanized steel for maximum durability and weather resistance. Embodying a mediterranean feel, the pieces invite a mood of relaxation.
LAKESIDE
Limited Edition
Limited Edition’s Lakeside woven rugs are 100 per cent polypropylene, making them suitable for indoor and outdoor use alike. The carpets – crafted especially for the residential market – are designed and produced in Belgium.
MATRICE FORMA
Cedit
Cedit (a Florim brand) partnered with BRH+ designers Barbara Brondi & Marco Rainò to envision its Matrice Forma line, which pursues the ‘austere look and versatility’ of exposed scores in concrete. The porcelain surfacing comes in three sizes and three finishes, allowing for myriad combination possibilities.
