Description
A seating system designed for outdoor spaces inspired by and named after an enveloping net that embraces and shelters. Raised off the ground by teak feet, Amii features woven cord panels that draw backrests and armrests in a harmonious S-shaped curve, gently cradling cushions of different forms and sizes that can create multiple, comfortable combinations.
In addition to the standard cushion in three sizes, the cylindrical, spherical and disc-shaped cushions add flexibility to the system, and are conceived to provide maximum comfort when relaxing in the open-air. Amii caters for a wide variety of tastes and ergonomic needs: the low-backrest configuration is particularly suitable for convivial occasions, while the high-backrest version creates a more intimate and cosy space. The mix of the two types lends the atmosphere versatility and aesthetic movement. The woven cord of Amii also define the frames of the coffee tables and storage ottomans - the latter also available on wheels - which enrich the entire design, making it ideal for open-air living.
Structure։ Backrests in tubular stainless steel varnished polished Bronze colour or in matt Ecru or matt Dark Brown, to match the colour of the cord. The steel structure is clad in woven polypropylene fibre that forms a 24x7 mm strip. The cord is available in Ecru, Bronze or Dark Brown colour. The backrests are attached to the padded base through a quick set and release coupling system. Seat in plywood and variable-density polyurethane foam, then encased in a water-repellent polyester cover.
Cushions։ Seat and backrest cushions in high-resilience, variable-density polyurethane foam and viscose fibre. In order to better protect the padding from water and humidity, all the cushions are encased in a waterrepellent polyester slipcover. All the accessories - zippers, thread - are water-repellent and therefore appropriate for outdoor use.
Covers։ Completely removable.
Feet։ In solid teak (Tectona Grandis - First European Quality) natural finish, adjustable. Black protective SEBS glides.
Storage Ottoman Structure: The structure features a stainless-steel frame in polished Bronze, matt Ecru or Dark Brown, covered with woven polypropylene fibre. The interior is finished in black outdoor fabric, while the base combines plywood with water-repellent fabric and a polished Bronze anti-fingerprint stainless-steel strip. The cushion features variable-density polyurethane foam and eco-friendly viscose fibre, protected by a water-repellent polyester cover, with a wooden insert for stability and a matching cord loop for easy removal.
Version with feet: in black polypropylene. Black protective SEBS glides.
Version with castors: castors in nylon and thermoplastic polyurethane rubber. 360° swivel movement.
