Summer a la Mobelli

Mobelli’s new 2012 Outdoor Furniture Collection gives us hope that long, sun-flecked days are just around the corner.

The brightly coloured, sophisticated range is intended to make the most of outdoor spaces, adding vibrancy and fun to entertaining and weekend lounging around the pool.

Standout pieces include the retro-inspired Salone lounge set, the Caro Punto chairs, the modular Lille lounge suite and the cheeky Nova cubes:

Caro Punto: Crafted to withstand the African sun, these wicker seats have been hand woven around stainless steel frames. The range comprises of a lounge armchair, a dining armchair and a foot stool.

Salone: The lounge set pays homage to the enduring modern designs of the retro period. An aluminium frame is covered with water-resistant, foam-filled cushions in a range that comprises of a three-seated lounger, an armchair, a drinks trolley (what self-respecting, retro-inspired lounge set comes without one?) and a coffee table.

Lille: The Lille modular lounge set is strikingly simple. Sling fabric is wrapped around an aluminium frame, which lends the set a clean and contemporary look and feel. Bold, oversized cushions add to the effect of long and sleek lines.

Nova cubes: Both playful and utilitarian, these cubes are completely waterproof, which makes them ideal for the outdoors. They come in a cocktail of colours, from lime green to yellow, red and grey.
