Square graphite Conrad table for the garden and terrace

Unopiù is a leading company in the production of distinctive outdoor furniture and accessories, founded in Italy in the heart of Tuscany over forty years ago. Its mission is to equip every outdoor space of a home with the same care and passion dedicated to interiors, imagining and creating spaces in a functional and prestigious way, to enjoy moments of relaxation and inspiration with an Italian flair.

The brand offers a “total look” for every type of environment, from urban balconies to large villa gardens surrounded by greenery; thanks to complete collections of furniture, structures, and accessories, Unopiù can satisfy any style required by the customer, from the most classic to the most modern designs.

MATERIALS

Nowadays, the blending of outdoor and indoor styles is increasingly evident, but outdoor products must be carefully studied and utilize materials with unique properties to withstand outdoor living. Unopiù’s materials are always chosen for their unmatched quality and resistance to all weather conditions, even the most extreme.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Teak has always been the preferred material for creating garden furniture, thanks to its exceptional durability and weather resistance. Unopiù uses the highest quality “A-grade” teak wood, fully compliant with eco-sustainable procedures. The high-quality materials used ensure that Unopiù products are a durable choice, built for long-term use.

Teak is arguably the most environmentally friendly material used in the garden furniture industry: not only is it recyclable, but it is also truly renewable. Just plant a seed in the ground, and nature will take care of the rest. As teak trees grow, they also convert carbon dioxide into valuable oxygen for the planet.

Unopiù sources teak wood from Indonesia, home to the largest and oldest certified teak plantations in the world: these are owned by the Indonesian government and are a major source of employment in the country. Teak is cultivated like any other crop: harvests and replanting are carried out sustainably to ensure that plantations, established as early as the late 19th century, remain a renewable source of income for future generations.

THE TREE

Environmental protection and conservation are fundamental to the brand, starting not only from using certified plantation teak but also from creating reforestation projects in collaboration with Treedom. A clear vision of a specific plan enabled the planting of 300 cocoa trees in Cameroon in 2020. In the future, Unopiù will continue to care for the environment and undertake tangible actions through new reforestation projects worldwide: a small but solid contribution aimed at reducing CO2 emissions and promoting the strengthening of local economies.

INNOVATION

The brand’s ambition is to create environments with a unique flavor, where one can surround oneself with a personalized and exceptional atmosphere to enjoy life’s most beautiful moments, alone or with others. Since its inception, Unopiù has continuously sought to innovate in the world of exclusive outdoor furniture, combining style, innovation, research, and passion. That is why every product launched on the market is the result of thoughtful design rooted in its history. The use of innovative materials and processes in the outdoor market, such as the C'est la vie line or the Solare line, demonstrates a desire for continuous innovation supported by ongoing technological progress.

Selecting the most suitable raw materials for garden and terrace furniture is a delicate process. The outdoor material must combine essential qualities such as elegance and resistance to external conditions, bad weather, and sunlight. Unopiù does not compromise on this choice and even goes a step further: while each element of the collection is made from classic garden materials, Unopiù is also very attentive to environmental sustainability and the durability of its products.

A vast selection of materials used in the creation of these prestigious outdoor furniture pieces from various lines allows for room for creativity and guarantees a diverse choice to create outdoor environments suitable for all style and space needs. Unopiù furniture is the result of over forty years of experience, always focused on seeking beauty and harmony between the most skilled craftsmanship and innovative spirit, which translates into the most advanced manufacturing techniques.

This way, exceptional products are created that are durable and retain their value over time. To meet every aesthetic need, the range varies from more traditional styles to contemporary, from teak wood to metal, from synthetic fibers to ropes, while maintaining the quality of designs, materials, and their durability over time.

Inherently warm from the wood's nature

The wood essences that make up many Unopiù furniture pieces contain all the warm elegance of this material and combine it with modern technologies that make them resistant to long-term outdoor use. Thus, whether it’s teak or mahogany, wood becomes the ideal material for outdoor tables, sofas, armchairs, and many other styles of Unopiù.

Durable, and historically, mahogany has been used to create flooring and furniture of great value; it is another highlight of the Unopiù line, such as C'est La Vie. Naturally, mahogany is resistant to weather conditions, but Unopiù provides further polishing treatment to ensure its beauty remains unchanged.

Iroko, which adorns the Salento collection, is a wood so resistant to water and moisture that it has earned the nickname “fat.” It is an excellent material both for its beauty and its hydrophobic properties, making it perfect for furniture intended for gardens, terraces, and balconies.

But wood also embodies creativity. The Wood Skin process transforms wood fibers into sheets that bend, curve, and adapt to the most capricious shapes, like origami. This technology gives rigid materials the ability to bend through digital milling and hinges, thus creating three-dimensional forms. The process is reversible. An innovative technique suitable for many applications, such as Urbn balcony furniture.

Solid and versatile like metal

The lightness of aluminum embodies the spirit of the most minimalist Unopiù collections, such as Tline and Shibuya. Its light and luminous nuances blend beautifully with technical materials that complement these elements, transforming them into true focal points in any outdoor setting, also thanks to their low maintenance requirements.

Robust and classic, powder-coated galvanized iron and steel are ideal materials that evoke durability and the charm of charming Unopiù collections like Aurora and Toscana, rooted in tradition.

Weaves and leather provide a unique style

Hand-woven polyolefin rope is one of Unopiù’s signature features: a material that has characterized its production for years, resistant to outdoor use, eco-friendly, and distinguished by a natural appearance that sets it apart from all other synthetic fibers. Unopiù synthetic rope combines the softness and tactile pleasure of delicate natural fabrics with the durability of advanced technological materials, as demonstrated by the success of the Luce collection.

The WaProLace synthetic fiber is a luxurious patent of Unopiù and characterizes some of its most popular lines, such as Capri and Agorà. This next-generation synthetic material is impervious to all outdoor hazards: sun, rain, salty air, as well as chlorine and sunscreen filters from afternoon poolside, and even mold, bacteria, and fungi that affect appearance and structure. Moreover, WaProLace embodies Unopiù’s ecological awareness: it is biodegradable and recyclable. Not to mention its aesthetic aspect: this elegant fiber is not only beautiful but also pleasant to the touch, anti-static, and easy to clean.

The skin is the most characteristic element of the historic Chelsea collection and its armchairs. The one used by Unopiù is handcrafted according to ancient traditional Tuscan vegetable tanning techniques, which use tree tannins in an environmentally friendly way. This process transforms raw hides into environmentally respectful leather, giving the final product unique nuances.

Garden cushion fabric: fifty shades

Within the Color collection, thirteen colors are available off the shelf. Among them, three belong to the Outdoor Acrylic family in shades of diamond, milk, and hazelnut. These highly technical, top-quality fabrics are specially designed and manufactured for outdoor use; the dyeing process ends with an innovative finishing treatment. This technique ensures the fabric colors remain unchanged over time, resistant to organic factors such as mold and fungi, as well as weather conditions like UV rays. Moreover, comfort is not forgotten: Outdoor Acryl fabrics are breathable and pleasant to the touch.

The remaining ten colors of the Color collection belong to the Waterproof family. This innovative fabric features a clever blend of polypropylene and polyester. Modernity combined with the softness of nature, thanks to the fabric’s soft feel; the checkered texture enhances this natural vibe and adds extra elegance.

Waterproof fabrics are completely impervious to all liquids. When needed, cushions covered with waterproof fabric can be easily washed by hand or in a washing machine: quick washing, even quicker drying, and the fabric will be as good as new.

Unopiù’s new Velluto fabrics are a unique line born from Fischbacher’s research into plastic recycling. This noble and premium collection of on-demand cushions for sofas, armchairs, and beds offers 7 color variants, all with extraordinary elegance and refinement. Truly velvet to the touch—warm, delicate, and very soft—yet in reality, 70% of the yarn used is recycled PET bottles. The result is a high-quality, eco-friendly product resistant to external factors and light, fire-retardant, and suitable for all environments, both indoor and outdoor, public and private.
