Reminiscent of sunny summer afternoons and the slow passing of time. Afternoons is an outdoor lounge set featuring an armchair, sofa, bench and oval coffee table with a choice of top in Pietra Lavica Smaltata, Pietra Bianco or Grigio Pece. Supported by an outdoor painted aluminium frame upholstered with natural-coloured, hand-woven PVC, the chair collection is padded with cushions in quick-drying polyurethane foam that fit perfectly into the silhouette. The collection is completed by a pouffe with Polimex and polyurethane frame and upholstered with a water-repellent cloth.“The name ‘Afternoons’ was created to convey the relaxing and sophisticated image of a sunny afternoon. It is an invitation to serenity and comfort with a book and a cup of tea. I see it as a collection that embodies style, functionality and production engineering, evident in the craftsmanship needed to hand-weave each of the collection’s elements.” – Omi Tahara
