101domus is highlighting five Italian outdoor furniture brands in an English-language newsroom guide, offering Middle East design professionals a reference for exterior furnishing briefs. The feature presents Samuele Mazza by DFN, Galbiati Fratelli, Sergio Villa, Sicis and Fas Pendezza through seating, lounge and leisure pieces that can be considered when planning villa gardens, terraces and hospitality outdoor areas.
For designers working across these settings, the guide provides product examples to discuss alongside the requirements of the location. Material specifications, exposure, upholstery and maintenance need to be assessed for the selected piece and site; the selection brings those enquiries together with a choice of Italian design approaches.
Samuele Mazza by DFN is represented by the Wezen 3 Seat Sofa. Its oversized, hand-woven Vienna-style pattern, backrest cushions and integrated magazine pockets give the piece a recognisable identity. The collection also includes dining furniture, allowing designers to explore related pieces when planning adjoining outdoor areas.
Galbiati Fratelli brings a rounded seating form to the selection through the Aria Sofa. The product combines a polished AISI 316 stainless-steel structure with outdoor fabric cushions. This specific material choice complements the sculptural character of the piece and its role within an outdoor lounge arrangement.
Sergio Villa takes a more decorative approach with the Opus Garden Sofa White Flower. Hand-bent iron slats form the frame, while floral cushions introduce colour and pattern. Listed for indoor and outdoor use, the sofa offers a distinct visual connection between furnished interiors and garden settings.
Sicis contributes the Lipari Outdoor Chaise Longue, with a matte white painted aluminium frame and removable upholstery. The manufacturer specifies an outdoor covering resistant to water, UV rays and salt agents. Its cushioned seat and supporting backrest bring an upholstered lounge format into the exterior scheme.
Fas Pendezza extends the selection into leisure with the Grasshopper Outdoor ping pong table. Designed for outdoor use, the Italian-made table can also be used for dining. It offers a different function within the same project, alongside the seating and relaxation areas addressed by the other brands.
For hospitality designers and furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E) buyers, the feature provides an initial shortlist to discuss against a project brief. Final selection depends on the individual product, finish, exposure and maintenance requirements of the site, making the relevant technical documentation part of the sourcing process.
Through 101domus, a selection spanning several Italian manufacturers can be developed through a single point of coordination. The platform supports enquiries about products and customisation, technical alignment, production planning and international logistics, connecting the initial design direction with the information needed to progress an order.
