In the words of American comedian Groucho Marx, "Happiness is made of small things: a small yacht, a small mansion, a small fortune..." To that, we would like to add a large terrace. It is remarkable how the simplest of outdoor spaces have become treasures in our lives. Charles Eames once urged us to "take your pleasures seriously," emphasising the importance of embracing life's simple joys. He and his wife, Ray, epitomised this philosophy by living and working surrounded by nature. Their example underscores the profound impact of nature on mental balance, well-being, creativity, and productivity. It is a sentiment echoed by many, including Andreu World, a company deeply committed to enhancing outdoor living experiences.
For years, Andreu World has been at the forefront of blending indoor comfort with outdoor spaces, both in residential and contract projects. Today, their dedication to the good life finds expression in their expanded Outdoor collections, each design reflecting a commitment to sustainability and innovation.
Inspired by traditional Japanese craftsmanship, the Afuera Outdoor collection marries elegance with functionality. Its solid iroko wood base provides a sturdy foundation for luxurious upholstery, blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor furniture. Modular and customisable, Afuera Outdoor offers endless possibilities for creating inviting outdoor spaces.
Drawing inspiration from oriental aesthetics, the Nilo Outdoor collection offers a haven of relaxation amidst lush gardens. Its modular system allows for versatile configurations, while its iroko wood base and innovative slatted construction marry visual appeal with functionality. With optimal drainage and rapid moisture evacuation, Nilo Outdoor redefines outdoor comfort.
A beloved design, the Dado sofa, transitions seamlessly to outdoor spaces with the Dado Outdoor collection. Its modular design, characterised by precise proportions and haute couture details, offers unparalleled comfort and versatility. Whether in public or private spaces, Dado Outdoor adapts effortlessly, creating inviting settings tailored to diverse needs.
Complementing their seating collections, Andreu World presents an array of outdoor table options. From the expanded colour palette of thermopolymer bases to versatile material choices for tabletops, including HPL compact and terrazzo, these tables are as functional as they are stylish. Whether for domestic or outdoor workspaces, the options are limitless.
