B&B Italia presents Tufty-Time 20 Outdoor, the new version of the celebrated modular system designed by Patricia Urquiola. After redefining the concept of domestic sociality, this iconic project now opens up to outdoor spaces, bringing outside the same design verve, comfort, and versatility that have defined its success from 2005 to the present day. Tufty-Time 20 Outdoor retains the modular approach that made the system unique, offering ten modules, including a new curved element designed for organic, convivial compositions. Whether for private residences or contract spaces, the new version invites a fluid outdoor lifestyle, encouraging interaction and sociability. The structure has been completely redesigned to withstand outdoor conditions and ensure maximum sustainability. The system is 100% disassemblable, allowing materials to be reused at the end of their lifecycle. The upholstery is made from outdoor fabric secured with drawstrings and Velcro; the padding is mechanically recyclable polyurethane, while the metal frame is shielded from corrosion through cataphoresis treatment.
