Outdoor living: Just the words bring a rush of pleasure.
Creating a sweet spot where you can inhale fresh breezes and gaze at nature while enjoying your home has never been more coveted. Whether it’s a moment of solitude or a let-loose gathering of friends you crave, furniture designers are ramping up options to furnish your space.
GamFratesi, the design duo established in 2006 by Stine Gam and Enrico Fratesi, is stepping up with furniture designs that combine the ring of tradition with the light touch of innovation. The Danish-Italian team takes full advantage of both European cultures, weaving together robust Danish craft traditions with a poetic nod to Italian conceptualism, in a new line of outdoor furniture for Minotti.
Ocean Home asked the Copenhagen-based team to forecast this season’s five biggest trends in outdoor furniture. Here is the designers’ list, as well as suggestions to fulfill each trend from GamFratesi’s furnishing pieces for Minotti, the Italian furniture company with US stores in New York City, Miami, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Boston.
