Dune is an eco-friendly and modular outdoor furniture set. Each piece is made from 3D molded natural fiber cement. With six different designs to be mixed and matched, Dune can be expanded indefinitely. Some of the units have a flat surface while others have a concave and slight back.

Designed by Austrian designer Rainer Mutsch, Dune is 100% recyclable.

In 2009, Dune won the Red Dot Design Award and the Good Design Award in 2010. It is also nominated for the Brit Insurance Designs of the Year 2011. To get a glimpse into how the Dune is made,  have a look at this video.

Go nuts for DoNuts!

An inflatable table and seating arrangement, DoNuts can be used by the pool, at an outdoor restaurant, at a hotel or in the privacy of your backyard.

The inflatable seating, which looks like a giant donut – hence the name, is available in several different colors. It is made from nylon and can sit at least six people. The table top is made from polyester and can be purchased without the seating.

Although DoNuts looks like it could be used on the water, it is safe on land only.

DoNuts is created by Dirk Wynants, founder and main designer of Extremis. For more information, take a look at their website: http://www.extremis.be.

During Vienna Design Week , Rainer Mutsch showed a preview of a new outdoor furniture system for the traditional Austrian manufacturer Eternit called Dune. Dune is a modular furniture system consisting of five combinable modules: each one of them is molded out of an whole fiber cement-panel. Fiber cement is a 100% natural and fully recyclable material for full time outdoor usage. From the designer: With Dune I wanted to tell a story about the materials capabilities, the history of the company and the hand formed production method. The shape of all 5 Dune elements now allows the user to move freely on the objects and to choose an individual seating position according to his or her individual taste.

Pircher , a company from Alto Adige specialized in wooden furniture for indoor and outdoor use, is participating for the first time at the Spoga + Gafa trade fair dedicated to outdoor life, which was held earlier this week. Designed by Alessandro Andreucci and Christian Hoisl for Pircher, the Evergreen collection is part of the ELIT line, a collection of contemporary and versatile furniture in the name of a fluidity of spaces and functions. Evergreen is inspired by the marine environment and characterized by its use of regatta braid — a kind of rope that is used for the mooring lines on boats. Evergreen is versatile and modular, and includes a two-seater sofa, a small padded chair, a coffee table and a daybed, which may be joined together using the rope module and the addition of mounted tables in wood.

Atesta by SeriesD is a new outdoor planter which has a flat edge so that the design becomes modular — you can great groupings and even use it to define spaces. It is also a light and could even be adapted to an ice bucket, table or even bar. © 2010 Design Milk | Posted by Jaime in Home Furnishings | Permalink | No comments | Tweet This | Share on Facebook

Outdoor furniture like you’ve never seem before, Queen of Love takes an ornate, traditional look and makes it both modern and appropriate for outdoor use. In addition its bold design and colors, light passes through its prism like structure producing a rainbow of colors.

Queen of Love is the work of Graziano Moro and Renato Pigatti. Both originally worked in fashion, an experience which can be clearly seen in this highly stylized collection of chairs. Perhaps the best thing about these chairs is how unexpected they look outdoors. Still, I am a fan. See more here.

The Chaise Vari, handmade outdoor furniture of metal and PVC cord by Mexico’s Esrawe Studio, is a reinterpretation of the work done by itinerant weavers in the streets of Mexico City who create woven pieces for passersby. Other designs by Esrawe include the Block Bookshelves that fit together thanks to slots and the Centipede series of benches that offers movement and grace to users who can choose from concave or convex seating, or even a spot to lie down. The many legs make it look as though the piece is walking, and the undulating shape adds to the sense of fluidity.
