Gea Outdoor Sofa

Product details

Designed by Chi Wing Lo

From the Greek γαια, meaning “the earth", GEA celebrates the beauty and openness of outdoor living.

A combination of materials and textures inspires the concept of the GEA small sofa. Soft cushions suggest comfort and create a pleasing contrast with the minimal lines of the base.

The texture of the woods, in pure abonos oak, a thousand-year-old fossil wood sourced from rivers, or afrormosia, or the patterns of the oriental grey brushed marble, give a three dimensional quality to the panel that finishes one of the sofa's two sides.

This product has a delivery estimate of 20-24 weeks.
