EXI is a light, cheerful and colorful collection that draws inspiration from the traditional seats in wood and woven straw of the past. Seats handcrafted by skilled hands, which were used in the countryside or in village life, to converse outdoors, on the doorstep, with neighbors and passers-by. From this bucolic and ancient suggestion, EXI was born, revisited in form and material with the innovative look of Unopiù. The design challenge was to create a modern and versatile outdoor collection, composed of folding elements that were coherent and harmonious with each other. The collection is characterized by the extreme lightness of aluminum which gives it excellent practicality of use. The texture of the seats and tops, inspired by the interweaving of traditional straw chairs, gives the aluminum texture a modern and geometric pattern. The characteristic X shape given by the intersection of the side legs of the furniture gives the collection its name which also alludes to the word Exit. A name that wants to underline the outdoor vocation of Unopiù, which creates a wide range of complete proposals for the outdoors. All the elements of the collection are foldable and in recyclable aluminum: characteristics that make it handy, solid and durable.
