Outdoor furniture kings Gandia Blasco have launched their 'Tropez' collection in Milan this week.

Designed by Stefan Diez and inspired by the world of sports from the 20s and 30s, Tropez utilises design details drawn from elegant sailing boats and handcrafted tennis rackets to bring the comfort of domestic furniture to the outside.

Thanks to its platform construction, based on an extruded aluminium profile, various elements can be plugged, offering a great level of flexibility as well as casual style and introducing a distinct identity to both architectural and non-architectural landscapes.

“Tropez is considering the world of outdoor furniture in an unpretentious and light way of use, a bit like a lacewing would land in a garden with ease." Gandia Blasco and Stefan Diez say - and isn't ease what everyone wants on lazy summer days?
