“After a long period of dominating light, soft and pastel colors, total whites or blue-whites, today the outdoor universe is colored with richer, more lively and sustained harmonies.

The stakes are even higher for outdoor furniture, given the atmospheric events to which they are constantly exposed. The correct choice is therefore crucial for a resistant and long-lasting product.
