Inspired by the lightness of the wing, the archetype par excellence that combines lightness and strength, for the design of this new outdoor furniture collection , the designers of the Pininfarina Extra team were inspired by the concept of lightness, both physical and perceived. The dynamic, pure and elegant lines give the entire collection a style that adapts both to purely urban contexts and to environments where nature is the protagonist.
Each element of the collection has a light aluminum structure, enriched on the decorative level with geometric motifs, which visually refer to the most famous contemporary architecture from all over the world; The external body is completed by discreet and elegant teak strips, in its natural tone declination, for a classic and timeless mood.
Super-thick cushions with high-density foams for an extra soft seating experience: seating becomes an experience, and for this reason all the details have been selected in their most precise angle.
– Pininfarina Extra
Pininfarina Extra, is part of the famous Pininfarina design house, whose history dates back to 1930, when the company was founded by Battista Pininfarina, who became the most acclaimed car designer of his time. For example, Pininfarina’s Cisitalia 202 (1947) was the first and only car to enter a permanent exhibition at the MoMA in New York, in 1961. To date, more than 100 Ferrari cars that have gone into production have been designed by Pininfarina.
In 1986, the third generation of the Pininfarina family created Pininfarina Extra srl to extend the company’s design capabilities outside the automotive sector. Over the past 30 years, Pininfarina Extra has developed more than 600 projects under the direction of its Chairman and CEO, Paolo Pininfarina (now Chairman of the Pininfarina Group), and has established its own direction and a clear identity.
Today, the company has ventured into a variety of product sectors where products bearing the Pininfarina name have been acclaimed in the main markets of the world. The company seeks to blend the most advanced features of scientific, technological and engineering research with the attractiveness that should accompany the objects we use every day.
Pininfarina Extra is a reliable and competent partner for companies that want to use design as a strategic asset for their product development process and as a communication tool to improve their position on the market.
