Details on Cutting-Edge Materials

1. Aluminum Frame with Spiral Line

The supporting frame of the footrest ottoman is made entirely of aluminum, a material of choice for outdoor furniture thanks to its exceptional balance between structural strength, durability, and lightness. The structure is characterized by a distinctive and dynamic spiral line, a distinctive graphic design that lends movement and a refined aesthetic to the entire piece.

2. Seat in Emu-tex Technical Fabric

The upper surface is made of Emu-tex, a high-performance technical fabric specifically engineered for outdoor use. This material guarantees excellent resistance to sunlight, weather, and daily wear. Thanks to its water-repellent properties, the fabric does not retain moisture and dries extremely quickly after a rainstorm, preventing mold and preserving its original color over time.

Benefits and Design

• Space-Saving Folding Functionality: In perfect conceptual continuity with the famous director's chair from the same collection, this pouf folds up quickly and compactly. This feature makes it extremely easy to store during the winter months or move as needed.
• Record Load Capacity and Excellent Solidity (200 kg): Despite its featherweight of just 2.9 kg, which allows it to be lifted and carried with just one hand, the engineering of the aluminum profiles ensures extraordinary structural solidity, certified to support a static load of up to 200 kg.
• Dual Function (Footrest and Seat): Thanks to its flat and elastic surface, the furniture offers maximum outdoor versatility. It can be used as a luxurious footrest for increased comfort and relaxation when paired with the Ciak chair, or it can be transformed into a practical and sturdy emergency seat for guests.
• Stefan Diez's Contemporary Trait: The clean, geometric design, free of superfluous elements, reflects the designer's purist and minimalist approach, creating a modern and classy furnishing accessory that enriches the aesthetic of outdoor living.
