On Salone del Mobile 2026, Unopiù introduces CORA, a new outdoor collection designed by Federica Biasi, in which the rigor of industrial production meets the sensitivity of craftsmanship, and form becomes the expression of a profound balance between function and emotion.
The collection naturally reflects the designer’s approach, in harmony with Unopiù’s
philosophy: a timeless design, conceived to endure and to engage in dialogue with
architecture and the landscape.
The solid, precisely calibrated teak structure defines an essential, almost silent architecture, capable of welcoming and enhancing details. Integrated into this framework is the woven rope, a narrative and tactile element that introduces a soft, human rhythm: a warm, evocative gesture that recalls traditional know-how reinterpreted through a contemporary language. It is within this dialogue between constructive precision and craftsmanship that CORA finds its identity.
The result is a collection made of material, gesture, and proportion, one that does not seek excess but durability, where every detail is conceived as part of a coherent system. CORA interprets the outdoor space as a lived-in environment, to be experienced naturally over time, accompanying different moments of the day, from conviviality to relaxation, without imposing a rigid function.
The volumes are generous yet measured, designed to offer enveloping comfort without sacrificing visual lightness. The cushions, with clean surfaces and natural tones, enhance the sense of welcome and transform each seat into an invitation to pause, to slow time, to connect.
Designed for both residential and hospitality settings, CORA integrates elegantly into outdoor environments, responding to the needs of contemporary living that increasingly flows between indoors and outdoors.
The collection includes a dining chair and table, armchair, sofa, sun island, and sun lounger, creating a harmonious universe that enriches the Unopiù offering.
CORA is born within a collective project, conceived by Unopiù and developed together with a Designers’ Collective, as a shared “Travel Diary”. Each collection brings a personal perspective while contributing to a unified vision: to tell and enhance the heritage of Unopiù, a leading Italian brand in outdoor furniture.
