Primavera is a furniture collection for the exterior space. All substructures consist of fibre cement, while the surfaces are made from a simple lattice structure of solid wood. The screwed joints between the two materials form the constructive core of the pieces.
Primavera extends the solid wood collection Tossa and opens up new possibilities. The combination between the materials wood and fibre cement is unusual, aesthetic, and highly interesting in terms of production technology and ecology. Fibre cement is a robust material which is moisture resistant and consists almost exclusively of minerals and water. It exists in exterior spaces. The raw appearance of the mineral material has a close relationship with solid wood.
