Fusion Outdoor

Fusion, a design icon born from the pencils of John Bennett and Sakura Adachi and winner of the German Design Award 2020 and Archiproduct Design Award 20, is transformed and evolves into the brand new Fusion Outdoor for an even more fluid space between outdoor and indoor.

FUSION OUTDOOR is the new Fusion line for outdoor use, a versatile office furniture system that has already won multiple awards for its innovative scope in allowing a variety of configurations for operational work, as well as for meetings and short breaks in more relaxed and friendly atmospheres.
Inspired by recent experiences, it rethinks spaces by adopting the outdoors as a positive generator in the work routine, organizing it in a way that is both contemporary and natural.
It is also perfect in residential and less institutional settings.

Starting from the same concept of creating multifunctional environments, FUSION OUTDOOR amplifies its scope by offering new solutions for gardens and terraces. For an even more fluid space between outdoors and indoors, the tables - available in different heights depending on the intended use - adopt solid wood planks, the seats feature stackable benches or stools, the frames are cold galvanized to withstand the weather, and accessories include Japanese-style sun shades to shelter from the sun.
