SHERIDAN, WYOMING – Dec. 20, 2024 – Scandinavian design brand Muuto, in collaboration with renowned Norwegian design duo Anderssen & Voll, has launched the Settle Outdoor Series. This innovative collection of upholstered lounge seating is designed to seamlessly blend indoor comfort with outdoor durability, perfect for enjoying those endless summer days.
Embracing the Blur Between Interior and Exterior
"Today, many of us live in a way that blurs the lines between interior and exterior. These spaces support each other. You can see that in design too, as the distinction between indoor and outdoor furniture becomes less clear. We bring the comfort of indoors out with us. So, we designed a sofa and lounge chair for spending the best of times outdoors," says Espen Voll.
Inspired by Scandinavian Design Heritage
The Settle Outdoor Series draws inspiration from the rich heritage of Scandinavian design, particularly the mid-century modern era, which embraced the concept of upholstered outdoor furniture. Anderssen & Voll sought to reinterpret this tradition with a fresh perspective, creating a collection that is both familiar and innovative.
A Paradox of Comfort and Lightness
The Settle Outdoor Series achieves a delightful paradox: comfy and inviting, yet remarkably light and airy. "The tubular steel and supporting textile bands are a nod to classic traits of outdoor furniture, while the upholstery and tailored details lean on the feel of indoor sofas and lounge chairs. This meeting of opposites gives it a light, contemporary and distinctly Scandinavian feel," says Anderssen.
Ingenious Details and Contemporary Aesthetics
The Settle Outdoor Series features subtle yet ingenious details that enhance its functionality and aesthetic appeal. The generous wooden armrests, crafted from warm sapele mahogany, provide a comfortable space to rest your arm or place a drink. The interplay of the powder-coated steel frame and the upholstered cushions creates a visually striking contrast, while the tailored details add a touch of sophistication.
