Key materials to take advantage of outdoor square meters throughout the whole year
Aluminium, a material present in the collections of Gandiablasco since its origins, is an ideal option to equip a terrace or outdoor patio during the colder periods. Due to its excellent performance, functionality and beautiful aging, the thermo-lacquered aluminium profiles —in tones such as white or black— which characterise designs of the firm like BOSC, by Made Studio, are suitable to spend the less sunny weeks with all the advantages and without hardly noticing the negative effects of the climate.In this Gandiablasco space, BOSC climbs the mountains to demonstrate how a collection inspired by the serenity of a Menorcan cove can work equally in a snowy landscape. The BOSC modular sofas and lounge chairs are shaped with a welded aluminium structure and micro-perforated sheet metal by means of a punching system that reproduces the traditional handmade wicker grilles. Meanwhile, iroko wood adds a touch of warmth and naturalness to the armrests and table tops. Dense, hard and stable, iroko wood creates a unique contrast with aluminium and offers a good longevity.
Pergolas and modularity to turn outdoor environments into shelters
The modularity and comfort of BOSC make these designs the perfect allies to configure seating systems of different sizes according to the requirements of the exteriors and depending on the times of the year. This versatility, as well as its elegance and timelessness, fits in with the philosophy of indoor-outdoor life and it is perfectly complemented by small-scale architectural solutions such as the PERGOLAS, designed by José A. Gandía-Blasco Canales.The importance of accessories: from lattices to outdoor fire pits
Elements such as garden trellis and awnings have always been used to isolate terraces and porches, and protect them from the wind. Gandiablasco’s new category of DNA PARTITION WALLS represent the contemporary and architectural evolution of these traditional designs, perfect also as separation and concealment panels. In addition to providing intimacy in courtyards, gardens and all kinds of outdoor spaces, they act as an insulator without having to give up either natural light or integration with the landscape.
The PARTITION WALLS by José A. Gandía-Blasco Canales evoke the classic Mediterranean shutters and stand out for the use of finishes such as faux wood aluminium, that prints a patina of warmth on the strength and durability of exposed aluminium and connects with the Mediterranean essence of the brand.
Gandia Blasco Group, which has participated in contract and residential projects around the world through its firms Gandiablasco, GAN and Diabla, also offers a wide range of outdoor lighting solutions.
The FEZ lanterns, by José A. Gandía-Blasco Canales, provide the essential magic to illuminate a dinner with friends, a garden party, a deserted beach or a romantic dinner with moonlight as the only company. Perfect for creating unique environments in the summer evenings, they are suitable even in winter thanks to their design made of thermolacquered aluminium inspired by the traditional lattices of Hispanic American architecture.
On the other hand, the heat of the fire on a winter terrace can become the center of attention and a fantastic excuse to extend the shared moments. Creations like LLAR, designed by Borja García and made of thermo-lacquered galvanized steel, invite you to gather around a small bioethanol burner for outdoor use. Its bold and modern aesthetic updates the idea of fire as an ancient architectural element while extending the life of gardens and terraces turning them into cosy spaces during the four seasons.
