Outdoor Oasis Prep

With spring around the corner, readers are dreaming of patios and garden makeovers. Think alfresco living and stylish outdoor solutions. Winter is the ideal time to prep our outdoor spaces for the warmer months ahead!

Informel Outdoor

With the Informel Outdoor, Roche Bobois brings one of its most iconic designs into the open air. Originally created by legendary designer Hans Hopfer, the Informel is celebrated for its ultra-soft shape, low profile, and casual comfort. Reimagined for outdoor living, it strikes the perfect balance between innovation, design, and relaxation.

What sets this piece apart is its unique combination of softness and structure. Unlike many outdoor sofas that feel rigid or bulky, the Informel Outdoor offers a sink-in, cloud-like comfort—thanks to its tri-density foam and clever spring suspension. It’s fully upholstered in Sunrise, an exclusive stretch fabric that’s both weather-resistant and incredibly soft to the touch. Designed specifically for outdoor use, it resists water, UV damage, and mildew without compromising on feel.

Visually, the piece is as sculptural as it is inviting. Its low, curved silhouette makes a bold design statement while encouraging relaxed, laid-back lounging. It feels casual yet elevated—modern, yet timeless.

Customisation is also key.

The Informel Outdoor is available in a wide variety of outdoor fabrics and colours, allowing you to adapt it to your personal style or setting—from sleek neutrals to bold tones that pop against natural backdrops.

Whether placed on a rooftop, beside the pool, or under a shaded terrace, the Informel Outdoor transforms any space into a luxurious lounging area. It’s more than just furniture—it’s a lifestyle piece. One that invites you to slow down, stretch out, and enjoy the outdoors in true comfort.
