Ivy is the representative of the new concept of outdoor furniture: the matter is about the first industrial manufactured sofa garniture that does completely consist of steel. Technology and research allow the serial production of what was manually made until now.

Therefore soft and round forms are combined with materials that are affected to a long lasting, also by difficult weather conditions. The Ivy collection by the designer Paola Navone consists of an unloading two-seat sofa and an armchair.

The forms are reached through deep-drawing of stretch material with special mechanical characteristics. The single deep-drawn elements are connected to each other by the welding procedure. With it a round-metal frame is positioned in-between. This one does not only serve as chair shaper, but it does also make it extremely resistant.

Ivy is available in different colours. Fitting cushions for seat and backrests are available to the armchairs, in a dark-green camouflage look and a special texture out of elastic polyester.
