An outdoor living project where greenery becomes architecture and Italian design reimagines a new dimension of outdoor living.
The garden transforms into a natural extension of the home—a space to be enjoyed with the same attention to comfort, aesthetics, and quality that characterizes the interior spaces. A project in which lush vegetation, architectural geometries, and a selection of designer furnishings come together to create a refined, intimate, and contemporary domestic landscape.
The project unfolds through a succession of outdoor spaces, each with its own identity yet united by a coherent design language. Greenery is not merely a decorative backdrop: hedges, trees, and flower borders define natural screens, line the pathways, and create a succession of glimpses, shadows, and perspectives.
Canasta: A Living Room Surrounded by Greenery
Among the highlights of the project is the Canasta collection by B&B Italia Outdoor, designed by Patricia Urquiola. Its enveloping forms and unmistakable wide-weave pattern introduce a sculptural presence into the garden, successfully combining visual lightness with comfort.
The large circular piece, embellished with soft cushions in delicate shades of white and lilac, becomes an oasis dedicated to conversation and relaxation. Next to it, the coordinating accessory echoes the woven pattern, reinforcing the aesthetic continuity of the ensemble.
The white of the structures creates a subtle contrast with the many shades of green, while the textures and perforated surfaces interact with natural light, creating a refined interplay of solid and void.
Design Meets Nature
1/1
Not far away, the Gandia Blasco gazebo introduces a minimalist and rigorous architectural element. The geometric structure, characterized by linear profiles and light-colored fabric surfaces, defines a sheltered space designed for socializing.
Inside, the table and seating create an outdoor dining area where comfort is paired with a contemporary and understated aesthetic.
The vertical screens regulate the amount of light entering and help create an intimate atmosphere without obstructing the view of the surrounding landscape. The gazebo thus becomes a true room in the garden: a permeable architectural structure capable of offering shelter and privacy while maintaining a constant connection with nature.
Well-being as a Design Experience
1/1
The value of this project lies in its ability to create a harmonious whole through different elements: the organic softness of the Canasta furnishings, the geometric precision of the gazebo, the lightness of the fabric screens, and the vibrant presence of the landscape.
The path through the outdoor spaces ultimately leads to an area dedicated to wellness, where the presence of water introduces a new atmosphere.
Here, the B&B Italia Outdoor chaise longues and the Zero Orizon umbrella by Tuuci create an elegant and relaxed setting. The light-colored surfaces of the furnishings complement the warmth of the wood-effect flooring and the blue reflections of the pool, giving rise to a natural and luminous color palette.
The beach umbrella, with its technical structure and minimalist design, offers protection from the sun without weighing down the composition. A functional element that becomes an integral part of the architectural design.
A balance between nature, architecture, and design
1/1
The selection of products, materials, and finishes follows a cohesive vision, in which each element contributes to defining the identity of the spaces without overshadowing the others.
For Arredamenti Bertola, designing outdoor spaces means extending the culture of living beyond the confines of the home, interpreting the needs of those who live there and seeking the right balance between aesthetic quality, functionality, and investment.
The result is a contemporary garden that does more than simply showcase designer furniture; it becomes a genuine living experience: a place where architecture and nature coexist, and where the pleasure of being outdoors takes on a daily, personal, and timeless dimension.
