ilaria marelli: branch for coro

the ‘branch’ collection, designed for coro by ilaria marelli

new additions have just been released to  the outdoor collection ‘branch,’ designed for coro by architect and designer ilaria marelli. a bar table and new set of chairs now accompanies the sunshade, tables, chair, and two armchairs released last year.

the sunshade and new chair and table recall one another’s forms

the design of the collection is drawn from nature, and the lines of the pieces resemble stylized trunks and branches of trees. in the way that elements recall and repeat each other, they together form an abstract landscape, echoing the patterns of landscape.

the new chairs, like the armchairs before them, feature easily removable fabric seats, produced in a range of colors and materials, that can be quickly substituted for one another.
