SHERIDAN, WYOMING – May 13, 2025 – Outdoor living just got a major upgrade with the launch of the Settle Outdoor Seating Series by renowned Norwegian design duo Anderssen & Voll for Muuto. This collection reimagines the backyard, patio, or terrace as an extension of the living room—inviting, stylish, and deeply comfortable.
The Return of Comfortable Outdoor Living
Gone are the days of stiff garden chairs and minimal patio furniture. Today’s outdoor spaces are becoming as thoughtfully designed and welcoming as indoor ones. The Settle series taps into this shift, combining Scandinavian elegance with practical, weather-ready features that cater to modern lifestyles.
"Today, we build environments outdoors that are more similar to indoors. It's not just three chairs and a small table any longer. You should sit well when you gather outdoors and be able to stay out for a whole evening," explain designers Torbjørn Anderssen and Espen Voll.
With a clear focus on both beauty and function, Settle brings a plush indoor sensibility to the great outdoors—perfect for those who love to host, relax, or simply soak in the sun.
Stylish Design That Lasts
Every piece in the Settle collection is crafted with high-quality, durable materials made to withstand the elements without compromising on style:
- Smooth powder-coated steel frames for strength and lightness
- FSC™-certified sapele mahogany armrests, offering warmth and a tactile touch
- Plush, quick-dry foam cushions wrapped in premium textiles from Maharam and Muuto
- Three colorways tailored for natural outdoor aesthetics:
- Laze 1/Grey: a versatile, neutral shade
- Ribbed Weave 2/Dark Green: a nod to nature
- Ribbed Weave 5/Taupe: warm and understated
“Settle is designed to engage and offer comfort, standing up to diverse weather conditions without compromising on style,” says Espen Voll.
Indoor Comfort Meets Outdoor Resilience
The Settle series doesn’t just look good—it feels great, too. From supportive cushioning to soft textiles, each element has been selected with the consumer’s comfort in mind. Whether you're enjoying a quiet morning coffee or hosting an all-evening gathering, Settle encourages you to linger outdoors longer.
“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,” adds Anderssen.
Tailored for Every Outdoor Space
Settle is available in several configurations to suit different outdoor lifestyles and spaces:
- A spacious 3-seater sofa for entertaining
- A 2-seater option perfect for patios and balconies
- A cozy lounge chair ideal for solo relaxation
Whether you're creating a cozy nook or setting up for a summer soirée, Settle adapts beautifully to your environment.
