Summer means more time outside. And more time outside? Well, that means the need for clever – and sustainable– outdoor products is greater than ever. Through thoughtful materiality and strong craftsmanship, 7 collections plan for living en plein air.

Kern Tables 

Fogia 

Swedish furniture maker Fogia has transformed marble quarry waste into architectural element, creating a groundbreaking material: OUTT. The medium, binding 85% marble with cement, is put to use in Fogia’s Kern system, made in collaboration with designer Monica Förster. With hand-broken corners, the tables feel sculptural, and no two are identical. The surfaces are brushed – not polished – giving them an organic look that invites touch.

Terra 

Mater 

Designed by OEO Studio, Terra is Danish green-tech brand Mater’s first lighting collection, crafted from Mater’s proprietary waste-based material, Matek. Matek is made from a combination of recycled post-consumer electronic waste and coffee waste. The collection comprises a pendant lamp, a wall lamp and a portable lamp, and is suitable for indoor and outdoor settings.

Griante 

Pedrali 

Griante, designed by CMP Design, is Pedrali’s first wooden chair crafted specifically for outdoor use. The chairs reinterpret traditional woven seating through a modern lens, combining weather-resistant FSC® C114358-certified teak wood with hand-loomed, recyclable polypropylene yarn belts.

Cosimo de’ Medici 

Tectona 

Designer Muller van Severen’s collection for Tectona employs repeating metal slats terminating in triangular details that reference Villa Medici’s diamond architectural motifs and its garden's geometric forms. The minimal line includes tables, chairs and sun loungers worked into subtle curves. The light green, dark blue and white palette anchors the pieces in a garden while elevating the collection beyond simple patio furniture.

Roè 

Fast 

Fast's latest outdoor collection takes modularity seriously. Designed for both residential and commercial settings, Roè slides easily between contexts. The aluminium frame system – available in a wide range of colour and material combinations – is flexible and functional. And with flexibility comes longevity.

Kublo 

Desiree 

Eco-mortar forms the basis of Desiree's sculptural outdoor side tables. The innovative sustainable material adds tactility to the clean, minimalist tables. Available in three heights – ideal for changing needs – Kublo's rounded forms feel both substantial and discreet. The collection epitomizes Desiree's fluid approach to indoor-outdoor living.

Aral 

Rols Carpets 

Francesc Rifé brings order and warmth to Rols Carpets with five striped rug designs made entirely from recycled PET bottles. Each model uses colour as a tool to create light and depth: from Aral 1's blues and sandy tones to Aral 5's inky shadow-play. The collection is well-suited to softening hard outdoor floors. Rifé's approach treats design as structural rather than decorative.
