4 Summer Favorites from the Interra Collection

With summer just around the corner its time to freshen up those outdoor areas with fabulous colors and amazing furniture. Speaking of, we have just the chairs!! Actually, we have A LOT of perfect chairs, but today we will focus on 4 versatile favorites in our Interra Collection.

We are also going to speak to the CEO of Interra to get an insight into the outdoor trends of the season. Viggo has always loved innovative furniture and modern design. Having grown up in Denmark Viggo has a great eye for Scandinavian design, which inspired him as a young entrepreneur starting his own furniture company. About 6 years ago, Viggo started searching for something new which led him to create the Interra Collection, a completely Italian design line that “combines the Scandinavian feel with the innovation and playfulness of Italian design”.

Viggo Has chosen 4 chairs that we will be presenting throughout this blog post, as well as the reason for his choice.  

Let's dive right into that amazing summer feeling!!

Summer Chair

What better chair to represent the summer vibe than the Summer chair. The summer chair is a classic in outdoor furniture. Inspired by the ’60s, this chair represents a carefree, colorful time and looks damn good while doing it.

“I love innovation, but sometimes a design is so spot on that it stands the test of time, the classic look of the Summer chair is definitely a shining example of this and I believe a staple for many years to come”. - Viggo, CEO

Tribeca Chair

The Tribeca chair was recently introduced and has gained a good amount of attention since then. It modernizes the woven wicker chair by weaving a sleek and durable PVC band to create a modern, durable, and innovative outdoor lounger.

“The Tribeca chair has been extremely popular. It comes down to the fact that it is well made; the PVC band is hand woven to ensure quality, its comfortable and really, just a very beautiful chair”. - Viggo, CEO

Sunset Chair

“The sunset is fun and light chair! It reinvigorating an old classic in outdoor plastic chairs, with soft curves and vibrant color”. - Viggo, CEO

The great thing about the Sunset is that it has a very laid back vibe about it. It has curve and style while keeping an air of lightness, summer and relaxation. The curved seat and back rest makes it a perfect chair to enjoy long summer dinners in. 

Lisa Chair

The Lisa chair is an elegant outdoor chair. It is less lounge and more proper, which makes it perfect for dining settings. The great thing about the Lisa chair is that it comes in a technopolymer version as well as a waterproof upholstered version, which allows for many options when it comes to the interplay between colors and textures.

“My personal favorite is the Lisa chair, manufactured from recycled materials, as part of the "Go Green Collection”. It’s super easy to move around and stacks really well”. - Viggo, CEO

Love following new trends? Check out the brand new collections from SCAB Design

Love following the latest in design trends? Then you don't want to miss out on the newest SCAB Collection. Since the biggest design fair; Salone del Mobile was canceled due to Covid-19, SCAB design has decided to share their new collection virtually (thank heavens for the internet, or rather thank Tim Berners-Lee for the world wide wet). 

Anyways, lets talk about the new collection!! 

First collection to be introduced is Si-Si. The design is simple yet incredably facinating, as the frame of the Si-Si chair is one molding making it extremely durable while retaining an air of elegance, furthermore the seat and backrest are the same moulding creating less waste as well as a more effecient production. The color palet is soft and modern and as always SCAB allows for a plethera of options; Dots, Barcode, flush and wood allow Si-Si to cater to a wide market. Needless to say we can not wait to get this bad boy in our showroom!! 

Tripé is a simple and elegant table base, the narrow base makes it perfect for smaller spaces and allows for optimal use of said space. The many different versions allow for a variety of table sizes and shapes. The tripé goes great with the Si-Si collection to create a complete look. 

The Finn is a very elegant chair, which really fits into any setting depending on the fabric and frame choice.  Finn really compliments any stylistic vibe; Vintage, Art Deco, Modern, Elegant, or Industrial settings, depending on how it is styled with complimenting furniture.

Last but not least, we have the Trick stool. Trick goes great with Tripé as well as the Si-Si and provides even more options when designing a space. Trick is elegant and discreet with its clean lines and beautifully curved seat. 

We are so excited to be able to introduce this new collection and even more excited to be able to present the new collections in person. We offer virtual tours through our show room and also allow social distance visits to our full show room in Laguna Beach, CA.

Pedrali Mesmerizes at “I Maestri del Paesaggio 2019”

Here at Interra, we know the magic that Pedrali can create, both indoor and outdoor, so every year we look forward to the “I Maestri del Paesaggio” and per usual Pedrali did not disappoint. 

“I Maestri del Paesaggio 2019”, the ninth edition of the Landscape Festival in Bergamo, Italy has just ended, supplying us with the most astonishing photos from the event, which is sponsored every year by Pedrali, who promotes sustainability through their environmentally conscious philosophies and values. 

Pedrali decorated the Piazza Vecchia, in the heart of the event in Bergamo Alta with an air of comfort, elegance, and innovation. 

The main theme, Pioneer Landscape aims to shine a light on spontaneous vegetation as well as the role that plants play as live, dynamic entities. In order to reproduce such a delicate, meaningful topic, Arketipos, the association that oversees the festival in conjunction with the city of Bergamo, has formed a partnership with Luciano Giubbilei, an Italian London-based landscape designer, who has transformed Piazza Vecchia in Bergamo Alta into a spectacular garden. 

Provided with the lush green environment combining city and nature, Pedrali creates a convivial garden staying true to the theme of pioneer landscape by introducing the Tribeca chair and Nolita table - in earthy tones - into the garden.

There are various points of interest scattered throughout the Città Alta, like the old washing where the project Green Lounge – Pedrali all’Antico Lavatoio by Lucia Nusiner is introduced, here furniture and plants blend harmoniously with the surroundings, creating unexpected settings. Besides the Tribeca seats, the Reva divan by Patrick Jouin evokes a feeling of relaxation as the magical atmosphere of the light from the Giravolta and Happy Apple lamps by Basaglia Rota Nodari Architetti Associati draw you into an enchanting environment.

At the landscape corners, we see a small glimpse of Elliot and Ikon tables combined with the Tribeca settee and the Ara chair. The Sala delle Capriate at Palazzo della Ragione features Héra, the armchair designed by Patrick Jouin and presented at the Salone del Mobile Milano 2019, and Soul chair, designed by Eugeni Quitllet.

Another year at the ‘I Maestri del Paesaggio’ with an impressive collection of amazing furniture from Pedrali leaves us with great expectations for the anniversary of the event in 2020.

Get Comfortable with Pedrali and the Color of the Year

“An animating and life-affirming coral hue with a golden undertone that energizes and enlivens with a softer edge.” 

Presenting the color of the year; living coral in combination with Pedrali. 

This year is characterized by optimism and environmental sustainability, which are two words synonymous with Pedrali. Not only does Pedrali strive to be sustainable in everything they do, but they also do it with an air of ease and optimism. 

Today, we are going to be looking at the color of the year to see some of the Pedrali amazing pieces, which really showcase the color.

The Buddy family consists of poufs and chaise lounge’s, designed by Busetti Garuti Redaelli, and with its soft lines and minimalistic and simple design, the Buddy really compliments any room. The buddy puff and chaise lounge come with or without a backrest, which makes it a very versatile piece. 

The Volt chairs and armchairs, designed by Claudio Dondoli and Marco Pocci, are like the Buddy collection a very versatile chair. the classic proportions make it a great chair for any space and with its fresh colors it can fit in, in a lot of different settings. We love the Volt chair due to its comfort and durability, which makes it perfect for high-intensity spaces.

The Volt is created for outdoors and Interra Designs offers a warranty of 5 years on color fading and any damages (this is actually the warranty on all our products - pretty awesome!!!). 

The Wow puffs and stools are ideal for smaller spaces and offer a beautiful seating solution. 

The Wow comes in round, square and rectangular shapes, which allows them to be mixed and matched. They also function perfectly as side tables, which like the Buddy collection makes it very versatile. 

The Lively Coral doesn't just adorn the chairs and puffs, it also does wonders for the Giravolta lamp.

Characterized by a contemporary design, which is easy to carry around, this lamp is both wireless and rated for outdoors. The swiveling diffuser allows for a 360º turn and lets the user choose between a direct light or a softer atmospheric light. Oh and a charge lasts 8 hours, so you don’t have to worry about it running out. For more info on the Giravolta Check out our previous blogpost “Pedrali lights the way with these 5 design pieces!”.

The Nolita (to the right) and the Tribeca (left) are both outdoor chairs, however, the Nolita has an air of the classic 70’s garden furniture whereas the Tribeca is a modern take on this. The Tribeca has a steel frame and a handwoven seat, whereas the Nolita is all steel. They both light up any space with their playful look and their vibrant colors.

Lastly, we have two really amazing chairs, the Jazz chair (right) exudes style with is velvet-covered seat and backrest and titanium steel frame. The soft lines and embracing backrest gives the Jazz chair a welcoming feel. 

The upholstered Malmo chair combined the natural beauty of the oak frame combined with the soft living coral, giving it a modern Scandinavian look. The Malmo communicates a feeling of calmness and domestic warmth, which makes it very unique. 

This year we also see a lot of wood as a trend within furniture, which is the symbol of naturalness in furniture. Luckily, Pedrali knows how to design amazing wood furniture, not only is all their wood FSC branded (gotta love Pedrali’s focus on sustainability), they also have a wide array of chairs in different kinds of wood. I will be presenting Pedrali’s wood chairs in a month or so, so be sure to stay tunes.

If you have any questions or would like pricing on any of the above furniture, we would love to help you.
