Kobo Outdoor is a table whose design theme can be traced to the archetype of this piece – a top and four legs, both set apart by their impressive size.

For inspiration, it borrows from the dignified strength of the furniture made in some African countries.

The deliberate simplicity of the design finds its force in the expressive qualities of solid iroko and in the artisan craftsmanship of its parts – the smooth, rounded slats of the top and the turned legs.

The Kobo Outdoor family includes dining tables and coffee tables available in various sizes and finishes that can easily be matched with any of the seating options in the Flexform outdoor collection.

If not in use for long periods of time, to maintain the Kobo Outdoor tables in good condition and as close as possible to their original state, protecting them with their respective waterproof covers is highly recommended.
