A re-edition of the series designed by Rodolfo Dordoni for Italian brand EMU, Cross is an outdoor sofa combining soft lines, formal rigour and a sophisticated combination of materials. The legs, characterised by an X-joint, are made of die-cast aluminium, are attached to the seat by a four-way joint. The chair and back have a tubular steel structure, while the seat and backrest are characterised by a polyester webbing, a tribute to the craft tradition of the Lake Trasimeno basket-weavers.

Space is a modular sofa collection by outdoor furniture expert Cane-Line. Danish studio Foersom & Hiort-Lorenzen designed the series to create generous lounge landscapes that won't overpower a space due to the pared-pack aesthetic. With its rounded corners, low back rest and low frame, Space feels clearly defined and casual at once. You also have the option to specify the moduls with integrated side tables.
