SiT: Borgogna – A New Warmth in Outdoor Design for 2026

Outdoor design continues to mature beyond neutral palettes and purely practical choices. It moves instead toward spaces shaped by mood, material, and nuance in 2026. Enter Borgogna – a colour that feels instinctively right for now. Evoking earth, wine, and the softened glow of sunset, it brings warmth and depth to open-air settings, proving that outdoor furniture deserves the same level of consideration as interiors.

Introduced by Nardi within the Cassia collection, Borgogna offers a refined alternative to expected outdoor tones. Applied to chairs with and without armrests, as well as stools, the shade adds a sense of richness and character without tipping into excess. It is contemporary, grounded, and quietly expressive – designed for those who understand that atmosphere is built detail by detail.

The Cassia collection itself is defined by restraint and precision. Horizontal slats create a rhythmic, minimalist language, while structural elements add subtle architectural interest. The single-shell form gently envelops the body, delivering natural ergonomics and an ease that feels intuitive rather than engineered. Comfort, here, is not an afterthought; it is integral to the design.

In Borgogna, Cassia takes on a new presence. The colour enhances the collection’s clean lines, warming terraces, patios, and poolside settings with a chic, almost Mediterranean sensibility. It works effortlessly across contract and residential environments, offering designers a way to introduce colour that feels sophisticated rather than seasonal.

In South Africa, the Borgogna Cassia collection is available through SiT South Africa, a trusted importer of quality Italian and UK-manufactured furniture. Founded in 2008, SiT has built its reputation on a clear vision: to provide well-designed, reliable furniture for cost-conscious clients without compromising on quality or service.
