Outdoor space is increasingly considered an extension of indoor space and thus deserving of the same careful design considerations of comfort and quality. The Flexform Outdoor Collection comes from increasing market demand for bespoke outdoor furnishing for yachts, seaside resorts, luxury terrace spaces, and beyond.
