2014 Milan Furniture Fair
What would iconic furniture designs look like reimagined with Sunbrella® fabrics? With more than 20 years of expertise as a yarn consultant, renowned gallery owner and designer Rossana Orlandi was the perfect partner to explore this idea. Orlandi asked her favorite designers to create exterior versions of their interior concepts using Sunbrella® fabrics. The result was an unconventional collection of outdoor furniture that transformed her Spazio Rossana Orlandi gallery in Milan, Italy during the 2014 Milan Furniture Fair.

Atelier Lavit
Based on a concept developed in 2011, the Contrast Combinations side table is inspired by clamps used in boat construction in the region. The ingenious but simple system has been transformed into functional furniture in which the construction creates the final form.
