The Gran Kobi collection grows with the addition of an outdoor version. A generously-sized, low armchair, Gran Kobi Outdoor is a highly versatile seat, suitable for relaxing situations with maximum comfort, which fits harmoniously in green environments. As with the entire collection, Gran Kobi Outdoor retains the aesthetics of the indoor variant: the shell is a kind of firm and enveloping basket, created by woven welded steel rods. The support, made of die-cast aluminium, elegantly embraces the seat, totally enveloping its form.
