Camargue
The Camargue family is
distinguished by its enduring style, in both form and substance, thanks to the
properties of aluminum, a material that allows the Camargue pieces to be at
home anywhere outdoors, not necessarily under a roof, hence, not only on a
covered patio or terrace but also in a garden or around a pool.
A complete, coordinated
line, it includes small armchairs, armchairs and sofas, all stackable and
designed to meet the most disparate needs in private homes and the hospitality
field.
Practical and lightweight,
the structure of the Camargue seating elements reveals enveloping lines and
rounded corners – seemingly simple workmanship that actually requires expert
artisan skills.
It comes with either smooth
or embossed epoxy powder-coat finish, in a palette of elegant colors that lend
themselves to sophisticated pairings with the removable upholstery on the soft
seat and backrest cushions.
Made of aluminum, a
material that is extremely weather-resistant, the Camargue structures do not
need to be covered, although, to maintain their original condition, it is
recommended that their respective covers be used.
The seat and backrest
cushions, however, must be removed and stored in a dry place during stormy weather
and the winter season.
Most of the components used in the Camargue seating elements can be
recycled.
