Design studio Ludovica + Roberto Palomba create an outdoor furniture capsule specifically for Expormim entitled 'Liz.' The main design inspiration that lies behind the entire range highlights the era of the 50s, translated through three furniture pieces. It emphasizes the beautiful nature of Liz Taylor and features wrapped rests that evoke a sense of being embraced.
The retro era is mainly referenced in the round-like structure that frames the soft elastic fabric material. The Liz collection features a sofa, an armchair, and a larger sofa, with tonal options of poppy red, brown, dark chocolate brown, orange, 'deep sapphire,' and 'almond tree.' There are various fabric options to give the entire range the element of customization as well.
