Originally conceived in the 1960s and later reintroduced for contemporary outdoor living, Carlotta combines the refined simplicity of the original project with updated materials suited to exterior use. The design is defined by a solid iroko wood frame assembled through a sophisticated system of joints and interlocking elements, a construction detail that highlights Cassina’s woodworking expertise. The seat support is formed by hand-woven ropes, creating a light yet structured visual effect while reinforcing the chair’s relaxed and informal character. Its generous cushions add softness and comfort to the rigor of the structure, making the armchair ideal for terraces, verandas, and covered outdoor spaces. Cassina also notes that regular use of protective covers is recommended and that outdoor woods are left untreated to preserve their natural qualities, allowing a surface patina to develop over time. A highly recognizable piece of Italian design, the Carlotta Outdoor armchair is especially appealing for curated residential projects, hospitality terraces, and collectors looking for a sophisticated outdoor seat that balances craftsmanship, form, and comfort.
