Ortigia Outdoor Armchair

Outdoor armchair design is essential for creating refined and comfortable open-air environments, and the Ortigia Outdoor Armchair by Flexform offers a sophisticated interpretation of traditional craftsmanship adapted for contemporary outdoor living. Designed in 2019 by the Flexform Design Center, this piece translates the classic elegance of indoor seating into a durable outdoor solution while maintaining a strong architectural identity.

The structure is entirely crafted from solid iroko wood, a material widely recognized for its resistance to outdoor conditions such as humidity, temperature fluctuations, and atmospheric wear. The construction follows traditional cabinetmaking techniques, giving the armchair a highly refined and artisanal character. The base is supported by die-cast metal alloy feet with protective nylon tips, ensuring stability while preventing direct contact with the ground.

A key visual and functional element of the Ortigia Outdoor Armchair is its hand-woven backrest. Available in polypropylene cord, polyurethane rubber, or PVC-based weaving systems, the backrest introduces texture, breathability, and a strong design identity. The seat is padded with polyurethane foam and protected by water-repellent laminated fabric, ensuring both comfort and resistance to outdoor exposure.

The collection includes multiple variations, such as versions with or without armrests, and can be combined with matching footstools or dining chairs to create cohesive outdoor compositions. Removable upholstery and optional waterproof covers further enhance usability and maintenance, making the armchair suitable for both residential terraces and high-end hospitality environments.

Overall, the Ortigia Outdoor Armchair stands out as a balance between traditional craftsmanship and modern outdoor performance, offering a timeless seating solution that emphasizes material authenticity, comfort, and refined detailing.
