Imbued with light, clean lines and a look of understated elegance, the Echoes Outdoor family of seating expands to include armchairs with and without armrests that coordinate nicely with matching ottomans, chairs and dining chairs, stools and also a slender chaise longue.

The design concept is based on a bold material contrast: the structure is in sleek stainless steel while the seat and backrest are made of fine woven matt polypropylene cord in natural, ice, straw or anthracite colors.

If left unused for lengthy periods of time, we recommend that the Echoes Outdoor seating be protected with their respective covers to keep them in top condition and maintain their original appearance as long as possible.

Most of the parts used in the Echoes Outdoor seating can be recycled.
