Today outdoor furniture doesn’t only need to perform.” Says Rodolfo Dordoni who designed the Sail Out sofa project taking inspiration from the spirit of 1950s holiday resorts. The versatile and functional series is composed of three modules for the seat and three related elements that together create an infinite variety of combinations. The armrests and backrests feature an interlocking mechanism fitted in the structure’s teak panels similar to that of a car seats.
