This month, in her column for SOCIETY MARBELLA, Andrea Böck, Managing Director
of Ambience Home Design, reports on all things al fresco.
Andrea Böck, interior designer and founder of Ambience Home Design S.L. has, over the
last decade, worked on a variety of projects throughout Europe, the Caribbean Islands and
Middle East, assisting her clients in the very challenging task of refurbishing, decorating and
furnishing their homes down to the very last detail.
Inside Out
O
n this beautiful coast we are
blessed with sun all year-round!
And with summer round the
corner it’s only natural that we begin to
anticipate warmer days and picture ourselves relaxing outdoors, sinking into our
love seat whilst enjoying a good book, a
beautiful view, and a sip of chilled wine
to contrast the welcomed heat. We start
making plans of what to do, where to
go, who to invite, and the whole idea of
summer just creates a happy bounce of
excitement.
So the question is, are our al-fresco areas
really up to scratch?
Metal or aluminum structures are now
often seen in bright and happy colours
The new trend forward is for outdoor
furniture that hardly differentiates from
indoor. We are moving on from the
woven Poly resin weaves, to upholstered
sofas and dining chairs, although, weave
takes a new form in all sorts of braids and
Also, a very welcomed trend seen in Elle
Décor and Architectural Digest magazines, etc. is the combination setting of
different styles of chairs around a table,
an impromptu mix-match of colour and
pattern that creates a funky and relaxed
atmosphere for outdoor space. Dedon
leads the way on this one.
stunning, I’m sure.
Here are some pieces that have stood
out to me!
DEDON:
Where would the outdoor world be
without Dedon, this leading company
for outdoor furniture, surprises us time
and again, with their mix of modern
technology and original designs…
Here are a few of my favourites this
season:

recycled food-and-drink packaging

STARCK

portray a freedom of style

playful eye.

We know what’s hot, and this Sabi seat really is!
Its structure is made from stainless steel and elastic belts, and its
base in sassafras wood. For the backrest, upholstery is available
in Paola Lent’s Thuia signature fabric, or handwoven Rope or
Aquatech cord. Altogether, you get a zen feel from this design,
and the outdoor rug (also from Paola Lenti) really ties this design
in perfectly.

functional. Covers are removable and available in a variety of Paola Lenti

FANSTUDIO - ZERO
Tropisms are movements experienced
by plants when they need to adapt to
different ambient conditions. Inspired
by the natural movement of plants
that open, close and rotate to capture
sunlight, or to protect themselves from
wind or rain, Fanstudio has created the
remarkable and particular “ZERO DAY
BED”, to give its user the best outdoor
experience.
Its 2.20m diamater bed with adjustable
backrest, and the 360th tour one gets
through its sliding segment-like cover, is
undeniably a phenomenon to outdoor
furniture. Moreover, hidden under

KENNETH COBONPUE
Resembling molded baskets, Matilda features rattan’s beauty and durability through a variety of processes. It communicates richness in its robust forms and invigorating surfaces. The rattan weave complements
the hearty shapes that provide a sense of fullness to the collection. I love the striped cushions for contrast.
