DIABLA at the Salone del Mobile 2018

A powerful jolt of colour for an outdoor relaxation area, with a look that are laid back and casual yet elegant at the same time. This is the kind of setting that can be created with Valentina Outdoor, a collection that more than any other is the most authentic expression of the #Diabla style. Conceived for enjoying the outdoors in an informal
way with its ground level chairs and loungers that allow multiple combinations and improvised uses, a raised single-seater sofa version of the #Diabla collection is being launched at the 2018 #salonedelmobile.

Designing a seat using just two cushions was the challenge that Valentina Outdoor collection designer Alejandra Gandía-Blasco Lloret set herself as a starting point. The aim was to x the cushions together using as few elements as possible and with one
of them standing upright. So, using only two cushions plus a lightweight and practically invisible structure of steel rods, the original idea ended up producing not only a seat but also a double sofa and a lounger, all in a decidedly informal, casual style. They are joined by a matching low side table.

To stop the cushions slipping and coming apart, they’re xed together with an invisible camou aged zipper. Both are attached to the metal rod structure by another zipper so
the whole thing stays xed in place. The cushions are made from a special hard-wearing outdoor fabric and the covers are removable. This means they can be washed easily or swapped for a set in another tone from the choice of colours in the Valentina Outdoor range.

The collection includes a lounger, a oor level individual armchair and another raised one, a double sofa and a side table. Shortly more raised elements will be added.
