Jardin De Ville is an outdoor furniture company based in Quebec, they recently hired Manutti to design their new Air collection.  With slick modern detailing pared with durable but casual looking fabric.  The solid base is powder-coated stainless steel and a thin mid-section of exotic Iroko wood slats help air circulation. The thick large cushions resemble the luxury of the modern Italian design in Moroso sofa.
