The Delight Chairs St. Moritz is the second project involving the fine fabrics of Loro Piana Interiors and Exteta’s furnishings with a fluid soul.

Designed by Paola Navone, the elements in this series – a folding chair, an armchair and a folding stool – are completely transformed, to suite the cosy warmth of an exclusive chalet.

Exteta’s elegant structures feature the craftsmanship of Sapelli mahogany, which is waterproof, snowproof and cold-resistant. The exclusive “barrique” finish of the wood with its warm tones is paired with the seats and backrests in cashmere and wool by Loro Piana Interiors, both treated with The Rain System®, technology that makes natural fabrics water resistant, and the removable covers in Cashfur – a cashmere “fur” with a touch of silk.

The new collection was unveiled at the NOMAD St. Moritz from 1-6 March 2022, an exhibition where art, architecture and design meet and merge in the splendid Chesa Planta Museum in Samedan. This exclusive event, the second for Loro Piana Interiors, saw the series The Delight Chairs St. Moritz exhibited alongside the great pieces of design and art that have emerged for their originality and quality over the last year, making it a truly unmissable event.

We are happy to announce that we won the Wallpaper* Design Awards in the Best Outdoor Living category for the third time! Annually, Wallpaper* Design Awards celebrates the very best in design over the past 12 months.

This year’s winner is our Sunset Lounge Table, designed by Paola Navone. The winning design shows the combination of the Carrara marble veining with the smooth surface of the solid Sapelli mahogany leg, resulting in a refined overlap of textures, materials and tones.

The Delight Chairs is a sophisticated design project born in collaboration with Loro Piana Interiors that starts from the image of an ordinary director’s chair to produce a unique and distinctive icon.

Designed by Paola Navone, this new collection is meant to be versatile, customisable and suitable for any environment: from a yachting deck to a sunny terrace or a welcoming indoor corner.

The range includes a folding Chair, a small Armchair and a stool, also foldable.
All the structures are expertly made with the selected Sapelli mahogany wood. The Delight Chairs are available in highly resistant glossy and matt finishes, absolutely suitable for outdoor use.

Loro Piana Interiors developed a portfolio of new fully flame-retardant outdoor fabrics which withstanding up to light, salt, chlorine, mould and fungi.
The fabrics are woven on jacquard looms with double yarns of different fineness in both the warp and weft, for a compact structure with three different perfectly defined stripes.

The effort made by our company has always been following a defining process that leads it to gain a major presence in the design world. In a very brave way we decided to abandon any kind of unified path, changing the point of view with which we make people look at living spaces. We embraced a new philosophy of living that no longer defines environments through limits between what is indoor and what is outdoor but considers them as hybrid spaces where our product can freely move inside. It is precisely between those unspoiled spaces that our timeless soul evolves and becomes more versatile, more hybrid: it becomes fluid.

Thanks to this visual narration, we are finally able to guide you into all the deepest features of Exteta’s new philosophy.
