STANDARD OUTDOOR By edra
Malleable, adaptable to the users’ desires. It is a soft embrace but also movement to the nth degree. The key element is a “smart cushion” that acts as a backrest and armrest, adjustable at will and separately. It allows total freedom of positions: symmetrical, asymmetrical, formal, informal, for reading or tablet consulting.
The term “standard” comes from the old French estendart, which means flag, banner. Standard is an accepted rule, a model to repeat in the future. In fact, this project is the result of typological and technological research that started with the couch L’Homme et la Femme, in 1993, that introduced variable configurations for the first time. Research then went on, exploring both new materials and opportunities of modifying arrangement and sitting through simple movements. New couches designed by Francesco Binfaré were born along this path, like the On the Rocks, a sectional that allows plenty of freedom in arranging modules.
Standard is the synthesis of this research.
