Alfredo Häberli Design Development

Faced with a question to design a family of outdoor furniture, I asked myself: what is the most comfortable material to sit on? What is the material that makes me feel comfortable? The material that creates a dreamy moment for me? So many are cold, hard, really not suitable for sitting for a long time. Me, I feel good outside, in the fresh air, under a tree, or with a view of the hills (not to mention the sea). Then, I have always liked everything that is light. Visibly and truly. The minimum (not to be confused with the minimalist) of material for a maximum of structure. All this, with the dozens of images that come to mind was the beginning of Plein Air. Iron wires create the structures of chairs, armchairs, stools, loungers as well as tables and tables. They are like endless lines, with great plasticity in the space. A canvas dress is simply attached to these three-dimensional outlines. The pattern, its stitching also makes a three-dimensional butt shape. It looks like a hammock, but instead of being suspended between two trees, there is a structure. The big difference is that its shape is not flat. Not having a dress, the structures are stackable. A moment that will surely come in winter. The only contradiction of Plein Air is that you have to put on a dress right when you pull it down.
