MIRTO OUTDOOR SUNBEDS
Designed by Antonio Citterio, 2013
Timeless, resistant and long-lasting, both formally and physically, the Mirto Outdoor loungers stand out for their essential and elegant design.
They feature a light aluminium frame and a seat and back in Batyline® Canatex mesh, whose hemp fibre confers a more natural look compared to the plastics usually used in this sector.
