Outdoor Furniture Relaunch

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Capricorn Collection Returns as Outdoor Series Reissued by HOLLY HUNT

— December 18, 2025 — Art & Design
The Capricorn Collection is an outdoor furniture range originally designed by Vladimir Kagan in 1952 and relaunched in 2025 by HOLLY HUNT. The collection is constructed from powder-coated stainless steel wire frames shaped into curved seating and tables intended for exterior use. Its sculptural forms are defined by continuous lines and open mesh structures that create visual lightness while maintaining structural strength. The relaunch preserves the original geometry while updating fabrication methods to support contemporary outdoor durability standards.

The lineup includes lounge chairs, sofas, a chaise lounge, dining chairs, bar stools, and a selection of dining, bistro, cocktail, and end tables. Manufacturing refinements were led by HOLLY HUNT design director Chris Eitel, focusing on seamless welding and consistent finishes. The collection is offered in outdoor-appropriate colorways designed to integrate with garden, terrace, and poolside environments.
