South African lighting and furniture design atelier Studio Lloyd is launching their first outdoor seating collection.
Studio Lloyd, an internationally renowned design studio based in Cape Town, is bringing their innovative organic designs to outdoor spaces. Their exciting new luxurious Sayari Outdoor Collection is a contemporary yet functional outdoor seating range inspired by the beauty of the African continent.
Instead of using traditional shapes and patterns, the Sayari Outdoor Collection is a contemporary and physical ode to the place Studio Lloyd calls home. “Sayari” is Swahili, meaning “Planet” and is the extension of Studio Lloyd’s standard range. With conscious living and the planet in mind, the collection has been made using Eucalyptus Globulus – an alien species which has a negative impact on the biodiversity of South Africa.

The simplistic yet eye-catching MAONI Daybed is versatile in its use and offers pairing with the uniquely shaped but functional KIMONDO Side Table with round marble inlay.
This unfamiliar approach to outdoor seating lies in the use of organic shapes and a minimal yet significant combination of materials. The Studio Lloyd signature crochet detailing adds familiarity and affiliation to the significance of local handcraft.
The collection officially launches on the 16th of May 2022 and will be available to order via studiolloyd.com and design@studiolloyd.com.
