The outdoor Borea two-seater and three-seater sofas feature a tubular metal frame with a fluid and seamless design, without joints and interruptions, and an unexpected motif in the end part that rests on the ground. The metal bending processes used exploit techniques typically used in the aeronautical sector and transport them into the world of outdoor furniture, giving life to a collection with an unmistakable style. Comfort is ensured by generous, welcoming cushions, which are not only soft and relaxing but also developed to be sustainable: the paddings are made from 100% polyester fibre obtained from recycled PET plastic bottles, enveloping a polyurethane core in diversified densities. 510 1500 ml bottles are needed to create the upholstery for a Borea three-seater sofa, and 390 bottles for the two-seater sofa.

Piero Lissoni

Piero Lissoni studied architecture at the Politecnico di Milano and graduated in 1985. He began his career collaborating as designer and art director with furniture manufacturers Boffi, Living Divani, and Porro, and continues his relationship with all three brands today. In 1986, together with Nicoletta Canesi, Piero founded Lissoni Associati which expanded to include Graph X, the graphic design arm of the business in the same year. The studio now works across all fields of design including industrial, graphic, and product design, as well as architecture and interior projects for hotels, showrooms, retail spaces, private houses and yachts. Lissoni Associati has completed interiors for both Boffi and Cassina showrooms in Europe, the USA and Japan, as well as the headquarters for Living Divani in Italy. Among others, the studio's impressive list of clients includes Alessi, Flos, Swarovski and Kartell.
