Unique Properties: The elegant curved and continuous lines makes Umma outdoor indoor Swing different from other products in the same category.

Dimensions & Packaging: width: 800mm depth: 800m height: 1100mm
Tags: swing, nautical rope, outdoor furniture, outdoor living, nautical rope swing
Production Technology: Umma Swing is made up only of three materials that permit its indoor outdoor use: aluminium for the frame, a recyclable material, nautical rope and technical fabrics for the upholstery.
Design Challenge: The biggest challenge was finding a technical solution that met the desired aesthetic standard, ensuring comfort and sustainability, and also allowing the creation of multiple pieces from a few basic elements.
Research: The main objective of the project was to make a visually light and elegant outdoor swing to find the right aesthetic balance. Aluminum combined with upholstery in technical material guarantee the necessary sustainability and robustness characteristics of this sustainable project.
Inspiration: Original and elegant, Umma Swing brings a coastal, nautical vibe to any setting. It is perfect for spending some quality chill out time outdoors or indoors.‎ The large cushions hug and take you to a safe place suspended in time, just like when you are on vacation by the shore.
Project Duration: This project started in february 2023
Operation Flow: Umma Swing is mainly for sitting purpose but can also be viewed as piece of art work that can be used both inside and outside doors. The simple lines invite to sit down and enjoy the present moment.
