About the collection
Cestlavie Outdoor is GamFratesi's translation of the Cestlavie indoor table for the Poltrona Frau Boundless Living catalog: a basket-form table whose body is woven from UV-stable polypropylene rope, threaded around a powder-coated aluminum tube frame. The piece reads as a textile sculpture at table height, with the function of a side table and the visual weight of a wicker hamper.
A single typology, specified to the outdoor lounge brief — alongside a Solaria armchair, against the teak of The Secret Garden, or as a standalone object on a stone terrace.
Designer
Copenhagen-based studio founded in 2006 by Stine Gam, a Danish architect, and Enrico Fratesi, an Italian architect from Pesaro. The partnership pairs a Nordic-functionalist line with an Italian-craft material vocabulary; the studio's work moves between Gubi, Poltrona Frau, Cassina, Louis Poulsen and Fritz Hansen.
Within Boundless Living, GamFratesi are responsible for the Cestlavie Outdoor basket-table. Other Boundless Living collections are authored by Ludovica + Roberto Palomba, Roberto Lazzeroni and Simona Cremascoli.
The Cestlavie Outdoor tables sits within Poltrona Frau's permanent outdoor catalog, a position Poltrona Frau has held as a European specialty outdoor house with established US trade representation. Cestlavie Outdoor is produced in specialty European outdoor materials matched to the brand's catalog tradition as part of Poltrona Frau's premium European outdoor programme, with the configuration designed by Poltrona Frau's in-house design team.
Poltrona Frau's tables pieces are built around specialty European outdoor materials matched to the brand's catalog tradition. For US trade specifiers, this means Cestlavie Outdoor carries the same material data sheets and US-trade documentation as the rest of the Poltrona Frau 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 Cestlavie 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 Cestlavie 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. Poltrona Frau runs a verified US trade programme. Net trade pricing for Cestlavie Outdoor is shared after qualification (designer of record, project scope) and is set under the Poltrona Frau non-disclosure agreement applicable to all premium European outdoor specifiers.
Most Poltrona Frau collections, including Cestlavie 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.
