  • The design briefing was to design a sofa that easily adapts to the way people spend their time outdoor: formal situations (part), relaxing (reading a book), lounging (sunbathing, sleeping), etc. Any adaptations of the sofa also needed to be logical and extremely easy to execute. On top of that, since the sofa is used in different positions, everything needed to be ergonomically justified. The way the backrest is repositioned, simply by flipping the backrest, is extremely easy to do. Even a single child can do this.

  • The Orbit sofa was designed to adapt to the needs of outdoor living, making outdoor seating more flexible and functional.

This allows you to easily rearrange the large backrest cushions, creating a comfortable and spacious seating area. Whether you want to relax with the kids or sunbathe, this simple adjustment turns your sofa into the perfect lounge spot. The sofa can change from 'sofa mode' to 'lounge mode' to 'daybed mode'. And all of this can be done in just a few seconds.
