The elegant construction details that distinguish the base of the Atlante sofa are echoed in the benches crafted in two sizes, designed specifically to complement the dining tables in the Flexform Outdoor collection.

The Atlante benches have an aluminum structure with epoxy powder-coat finish in a range of elegant colors, and water-repellent elastic webbing that comes in shades suited to creating a contrasting or tone-on-tone effect.

The Atlante benches do not require any protective covering from the weather, although it is recommended that their respective covers be used to best maintain their original condition.

Most of the components used in the Atlante benches can be recycled.
