Komodo

Komodo. Design in Motion

Modular outdoor sofa for free compositions to suit any space

Upholstered fabric armchair with armrests

Komodo is a modular resin frame on which padded cushions and backs can be attached on all sides, easily and intuitively. This system makes it possible to design potentially endless sequences of stylish and relaxing armchairs.

The ramification of the weaving pattern on the frame derives from careful geometrical design, which also involves the innovative system for attaching the seat and back, which simply swivel in place. This solution avoids unsightly mechanisms and visible slots while retaining the smooth harmonious styling of the woven design on the seat and back.

Particular attention has also been paid to the packaging and to volume containment, making it possible to reposition this easy-to-disassemble sitting room in more compact settings.

Komodo is available in 3 colours (bianco, antracite, tortora) with various upholstery types and colours. It is available for purchase in the standard 5-seater version (Komodo 5) or in the most diverse customisable versions: anyone can order a different composition (starting with a simple armchair) to accommodate all spaces, tastes and requirements.

Relais Villa Aieni

San Vito dei Normanni, Apulia (Italy)

Tradition meets contemporary taste at the Relais Villa Aieni in San Vito dei Normanni, in Apulia; the project which was completed in early June 2016 involved the full refurbishment of a village of period trulli to give rise to a luxury tourist resort boasting every modern convenience.

Surrounded by 17,000 m2 of grounds including a garden and fruit and olive groves, several furnishing solutions by Nardi play the starring role in the outdoor setting of each trullo house. The Atlantico sunbed in fiberglass resin and breathable fabric, with its sleek and sophisticated shape, provides the perfect frame for the large swimming pool; the spacious Alloro table for open-air lunches and dinners is matched with relaxing Aria armchairs with cushions. The more private corners set aside are distinguished by the Spritz coffee table set with round table top and stylish chairs from the Net collection.

The top-quality fiberglass resin, the batch-dying process and the air-moulding processing ensure that this furniture is extremely resistant to all temperatures, both in terms of form-stability as well as colour-fastness, with colours that do not fade over time, remaining bright and shiny. What’s more, this furniture requires no end-of-season maintenance or precautions for use, which are characteristics that make them particularly suitable for accommodation facilities.

Nira Montana

Five-star design: Nardi’s style for a luxury hotel

A dreamy location, a breath taking view, an evocative and surrounding atmosphere: we’re talking of La Thuile, a small town in Valle D’Aosta where there’s the prestigious Hotel Nira Montana. Nardi’s design is protagonist on the terraces of this elegant residence at the foot of Mont Blanc with the contemporary and original lines of ARIA set.

“In popular belief – states the architect Simone Del Portico who was in charge of the hotel’s interior design together with his team – one identifies a mountain residence with atmospheres where, by tradition, the strong presence of natural materials distinguishes all settings, in both the furnishings and in the finishes. It was therefore necessary not to disappoint such expectations, by creating a system capable of generating the same charming suggestions thanks to a modern lightness of silhouettes and texture combinations”.

That’s why different materials alternate with various lines and colors for a result of absolute balance – a perfect mix able to create a unique style.

Inspiring matches also for the terrace furniture, where the choice was ARIA set by Nardi. Original and classy in anthracite shades, the generous fiber-glass resin outdoor armchair with fabric cushions and a slatted frame is paired off with the supporting coffee table, which is also slatted.

The modern design, colour and matt finish are a perfect match for the textured contrast with wood, giving life to original matches and to an exclusive charm. Both the armchair and the coffee table are designed specifically for outdoor use, since they are durable and built to withstand all temperatures, even the coldest ones of La Thuile during Winter.

In addition, they do not require any maintenance and are completely recyclable.
