The Oasi is a modular outdoor seating system designed by Robin Rizzini for Saba and presented through a campaign photographed at Giardino Botanico La Cutura in Puglia, Italy. The collection is positioned throughout the botanical garden, where photographer Piergiorgio Sorgetti places the seating among cacti, succulents, and tropical vegetation instead of using the landscape as a backdrop. Cork side tables and integrated planters extend the furniture's function by incorporating greenery directly into each arrangement, creating seating compositions that interact with the surrounding environment.
The campaign takes place across the 80-acre botanical garden, which contains extensive collections of cacti, succulents, and tropical plants alongside themed landscapes and greenhouses. The modular system supports multiple layouts for residential and hospitality settings while adapting to different outdoor spaces.
