About the collection
Ortigia Outdoor is the marine re-issue of Flexform's Ortigia archetype, a generous, low-back upholstered silhouette translated from its indoor twin (drawn in 2017) into a powder-coated aluminum structure with strippable cushions. The programme covers a stand-alone sofa (2- and 3-seat), armchair, and a dining chair on a lower-set base. The rope-detailed armrest is hand-woven over the aluminum tube, strippable for re-tensioning every five years.

In situ
The Ortigia Outdoor outdoor lounge sits within Flexform's permanent outdoor catalog, a position Flexform has held as a European specialty outdoor house with established US trade representation. Ortigia Outdoor is produced in specialty European outdoor materials matched to the brand's catalog tradition as part of Flexform's premium European outdoor programme, with the configuration designed by Flexform's in-house design team.
Flexform's outdoor lounge pieces are built around specialty European outdoor materials matched to the brand's catalog tradition. For US trade specifiers, this means Ortigia Outdoor carries the same material data sheets and US-trade documentation as the rest of the Flexform catalog: ASTM F1858 outdoor furniture compliance where applicable, fire-code classification on cushion components, and chain-of-shipment documentation supplied with the invoice. Bespoke fabric or finish substitutions are accepted on COM workflow with confirmed yardage at quote stage; see the Sunbrella and Outdura specifier reference for the workflow at the European factory.
Pricing for Ortigia Outdoor at US trade typically falls between on quote at US trade volumes, before fabric grade, finish premium, and consolidated freight. Lead time is 8-14 weeks from European factory to US port for standard configurations; bespoke dimensions, COM upholstery, or large hospitality volumes extend by 4-8 weeks. The collection is specified in US hospitality outdoor (boutique hotel terraces, resort pool decks, restaurant outdoor dining) and in premium residential outdoor (lake-house, pool-house, rooftop terrace) installations.
Standard Ortigia Outdoor configurations ship 8-14 weeks from European factory to US port. Bespoke dimensions or COM upholstery add 4-8 weeks. Hospitality projects above 50 pieces consolidate on a single container and follow the same standard timeline.
Yes. Flexform runs a verified US trade programme. Net trade pricing for Ortigia Outdoor is shared after qualification (designer of record, project scope) and is set under the Flexform non-disclosure agreement applicable to all premium European outdoor specifiers.
Most Flexform collections, including Ortigia Outdoor, accept COM upholstery and bespoke dimensions within manufacturer tolerance. See the FF&E procurement workflow for the full COM and bespoke sequence, including fabric yardage, factory shipping, and lead-time impact.
Premium European outdoor pieces share a common care pattern: quarterly rinse with clean water and mild soap, twice-yearly inspection of cushions and fittings, and off-season storage of soft goods in freeze-thaw climates. Structural elements (aluminum, FSC teak, steel) typically carry 5-10 year warranties; fabrics and cushions 2-3 years against UV and stitching. US service life on European premium outdoor is typically 15-25 years on structural elements and 5-10 years on cushions, with COM refresh extending the cycle. Documentation and warranty registration are supplied with the invoice at the trade tier.
