The TOSCA outdoor furniture collection might be chic and contemporary, but designer Monica Armani has injected a twist of texture to give it a lot more personality. This twist is quite literal as the upholstery has been braided over the powder coated stainless steel frames of the armchairs, couches and more. Using a knitted, weather-resistant material, Monica Armani shows that creative liberty can be taken when it comes to such outdoor creations.
Designing for Belgian company Tribu, Monica Armani manages to bring soft and cozy furniture to backyard, patios and pools. Great for exotic resorts and urban homes, the TOSCA collection is very versatile, which is another reason why many will be drawn to the designs.
