The FILO seating collection is a remarkable fusion of technical innovation and exquisite traditional Italian craftsmanship, specifically crafted for outdoor use. Its compact dimensions make it ideal for small spaces such as balconies or petite backyards.
The collection includes a classic armchair, a swivel armchair, and two- and three-seater sofas.
The seat structure, equipped with elastic belts, as well as the arm and backrest frames, are constructed using stainless steel AISI 316, finished with a glossy varnish in various colors offered in the collection. The swivel armchair features a smooth rotation system facilitated by ball bearings.
What sets FILO apart is its distinctive structural weave. In their factory in Meda, the Twiggy yarn is meticulously winded, developed, and produced by Paola Lenti, by hand around the frames of the backrests and armrests. Twiggy is an advanced, fully recyclable, waterproof, and lightfast yarn, designed to withstand the elements and perform exceptionally well even in challenging environmental conditions. It is the result of extensive research conducted by Paola Lenti in collaboration with professionals and university institutions. With a choice of up to four different colors from a palette of 150 hues available for Twiggy, the resulting textile surface exhibits an iridescent quality, creating ever-changing vibrations and shades.
The “shell” of each FILO piece houses a seat cushion made of polyurethane foam and Aerelle® blue, a polyester fiber derived from recycled plastics, encased in a waterproofed polyester cover. The cushion upholstery is offered in the full range of fabrics and colors available in the collection. Enhancing comfort further, the collection features soft and inviting back cushions enveloped in Maglia Rasata. This exclusive knitted fabric by Paola Lenti boasts a lustrous appearance and unique mélange patterns achieved by blending synthetic yarns in different colors. The knit stitches are meticulously set and closed by hand, akin to the craftsmanship of a hand-knit jumper. The padding consists of Aerelle® blue polyester fiber encased in a waterproofed polyester fabric.
The hand-weaving technique and the multitude of colors available for all components result in each FILO seating piece being one-of-a-kind, tailored to the individual’s style, taste, and surrounding environment.
