Edra Standard Outdoor sofa
Standard Outdoor brings Francesco Binfaré’s Standard sofa for Edra into the open air, as part of the brand’s Outdoor Collection. Designed to offer maximum comfort in whichever position, it is built around the Smart Cushion, the key element of the project. Adjustable backrests and armrests, generous seat depths and freely combined compositions make it as adaptable on a terrace or beside a pool as it is indoors.
Description
Design Inspiration & Philosophy
Standard is the result of years of technological research to produce an exclusive sofa that perfectly meets the wishes of the people who use it. The guiding principle is freedom: no fixed posture, no rigid profile, no single correct way to sit. Bringing that thinking outdoors extends the same personal, adaptable ease to gardens, courtyards and patios, where relaxation tends to be at its most unhurried.
Responsive Backrests
Backrests and armrests have lost any stiffness and can be shaped as desired with a flick of the hand. They can be set low, high, oblique, enveloping or simply functional, so each seat can be tuned to the person using it. One gesture changes the posture, and another changes it back, keeping the sofa in step with the rhythm of a long day spent in the sun.
Deeper Seats, Casual Comfort
The deeper seats help to discover a casual comfort, inviting a looser, more relaxed way of sitting. Combined with the Smart Cushion, they encourage people to curl up, stretch out or settle in for a long conversation after dinner. It is a mood that suits exterior spaces, where time slows down and the pace of the day becomes more informal.
Compositions
Seats of different shape and depth combine with total freedom to tailor each composition:
– Linear layouts tracing a pool deck or the edge of a patio
– Angular arrangements that turn a corner or define a lounge zone
– Free plan groupings that move away from the wall and invite conversation
– Generous seating elements for a stretched out, easygoing style of relaxation
– Mixed pieces of varied shapes that suit the footprint of any lawn or courtyard
Perfect For
– Villas and second homes where daily life extends onto loggias and lawns
– Wineries and estates hosting tastings and gatherings in the open air
– Resorts where guests unwind outside for hours on end
– Homes designed around living with nature, indoors and out
– Cultural foundations seeking relaxed seating for their open spaces
– Owners of the indoor Standard seeking a matching companion for life outdoors
Standard Outdoor takes the Standard experience outside with all its character intact. Shaped by hand and ready for endless arrangements, it turns any loggia into a second living room.
