The collaboration with Espen Øino, the internationally acclaimed Norwegian yacht designer and founder of the Monte Carlo-based studio Espen Øino International, has resulted in Elianto, a seating piece originally designed for the yachting sector but equally suited to to all outdoor environments, from the swimming pool area to the garden, in both residential and hospitality projects.
This circular platform with an essential, timeless design serves as both a sofa and a chaise longue, defying traditional typological classifications.
The structure is made of tubular steel and mesh with adjustable plastic feet. The seat cushion is divided into three sections, which further define the piece. The removable upholstery is available in Paola Lenti’s collection of outdoor fabrics. The design features two rotating backrests and a side table with a removable top that doubles as a practical tray, all attached to the structure. This versatility allows users to adjust their seating position according to the sun’s movement throughout the day.
With Elianto, Espen Øino has created a contemporary seating solution that conveys a modern sense of understated luxury.
