Atlante, Italian for Atlas, the mythical Titan who bears the world on his shoulders, identifies an outdoor furnishing system that is a marriage of thoughtful aesthetic experimentation and extraordinary versatility in terms of personalization.

Made up of stand-alone and sectional sofas as well as daybeds, the Atlante family is available in many types and finishes that invite great interpretive freedom in the design of outdoor spaces.

The Atlante sofa is in a contemporary style. The generous size of the upholstered cushions offsets the austerity of the metal structure, and the elegant grosgrain piping outlines its soft, welcoming shapes.

The stainless-steel base is upholstered in water-repellent elastic webbing, while the sofa’s cast aluminum feet reveal a delicate, harmonious vibe.

The Atlante sofa is dense with details that underscore its amazing talent for personalization. The metal base comes in a series of sophisticated epoxy powder-coat shades, while the elastic webbing, available in sand, grey and anthracite color, can create elegant contrasts or subtle tone-on-tone pairings.

The Atlante seating system frees the imagination to come up with any number of arrangements that cater to the most diverse needs. By pairing the seat elements with the handy table tops and integrated end tables with shelves that can be made of iroko wood, or a number of types of natural stone, the sofa arrangements soar to new levels of dynamic, diverse expression.

In order to keep the Atlante sofas in good condition and maintain them as close as possible to their original state, use of their respective waterproof covers is strongly recommended.
