Outdoor-Ready Structural Furniture

TheUrbanative Launches a New Crisp Outdoor Collection

— November 20, 2022 — Art & Design
The Urbanative launches its new outdoor collection that is made with inspiration from its past collections and fond summertime memories. The pieces are made with steel and wire, resembling mesh chairs, and nod to the 80s and 90s with the retro tinge.

The modern African furniture and product design imprint is based in South Africa and often locally sources influences from its heritage. The new outdoor collection is made up of a sofa, cafe chair, cafe table, pod chair, lounge chair, outdoor mat, planters, and nesting tables. The standout items in the range are the Pumzika couch and the Akaya Lounge Chair, which are soft and feature fabrics that are selected to withstand outdoor conditions.
