B&B Italia outdoor - Mirto Outdoor folding chair with armrests

Timeless, resistant and durable, both from a formal and a physical point of view, the Mirto Outdoor chairs express an elegance that transcend time and fashions. They come in a fixed version, with or without armrests, and in a folding version, reinterpreting the classic director’s chair. They feature a light aluminium frame and a seat and back in Batyline® Canatex mesh, whose hemp fibre confers a surprisingly natural look compared to the plastics usually used in this sector. The edges are expertly cut, sewn and glued around the profiles to create a minimalist décor. Mirto Outdoor is a complete series of outdoor furniture inclusive of chairs, armchairs, loungers, dining tables and furnishings.
