Description
Patio Teak is the evolution of the original aluminium seating system by Italian-Danish duo GamFratesi, combining the warmth of wood with advanced technological research. Its slender yet solid teak platform creates a natural, refined aesthetic, supported by elegant Bronze-coloured aluminium feet. The backrest retains the collection’s iconic Ecru polypropylene rope weave, creating a distinctive visual identity. Designed as a compositional mosaic, Patio Teak allows individual elements to be combined into conversation, relaxation and vis-à-vis areas, with seating, coffee tables, ottomans and benches. Some seating elements feature a practical natural teak tray with water-draining grooves. Versatile enough for both metropolitan terraces and larger outdoor spaces, the system combines functionality, lightness and a strong contemporary character.
Structure: Backrests feature stainless-steel frames upholstered in Ecru woven polypropylene fibre forming a 25×5 mm ribbon, joined to the structure with polished Bronze cast-aluminium plates and anti-fingerprint finish. The frame is made of 70 mm thick natural, kiln-dried solid teak, CNC-machined and assembled with reinforced finger joints. Slatted sections ensure ventilation and drying, while selected elements feature a grooved teak tabletop for water drainage.
Cushions: Seat cushions in high-resilience polyurethane foam and water-repellent, eco-friendly viscose fibre. Backrest cushions made with viscose fibre and eco-friendly, water-repellent fibre. To provide the seat and backrest cushion upholstery with greater protection from water and humidity, all the cushions are encased in water-repellent polyester upholstery. All the accessories used in production - zippers and thread - are water-repellent and therefore suitable for outdoor use.
Covers: Cushion upholstery is completely removable.
Feet: Cast-aluminium feet, varnished polished Bronze colour with anti-fingerprint finish. Adjustable black protective polyethylene foot.
COFFEE TABLES Structure: in 70 mm thick solid teak (Tectona Grandis - First European Quality), natural finish, kiln-dried. Crafted on CNC machines, assembled at 45° with finger joints reinforced with dowel pins.
COFFEE TABLES Feet: cast-aluminium feet, varnished polished Bronze colour with anti-fingerprint finish. Adjustable black protective polyethylene foot.
Designer
GamFratesi
Minotti and GamFratesi began collaborating in 2018. The design of GamFratesi, architecture firm established in 2006 in Copenhagen by Italian-Danish duo Enrico Fratesi and Stine Gam, is rooted in the perfect fusion of tradition and innovation, craftsmanship and technology, rigour and poetry. With their different cultural backgrounds, Stine Gam and Enrico Fratesi model their creative intuitions into designs that draw from both the classic decor and artisan tradition of Denmark and the classic Italian intellectual and conceptual approach.
A tried and tested melting pot of styles, expressed in furniture, objects, and installations with a silent elegance, in the production techniques used and in the meticulous attention to detail applied to the creations. The result is a sophisticated interpretation of Scandinavian minimalism, with many subtle, yet striking Nordic hints.
