The Arflex Marenco Outdoor Armchair brings Italian elegance to outdoor living. In 1970, Italian architect Mario Marenco created a chair that quietly rewrote the rules of comfort. The Marenco for Arflex was unapologetically plush, built from a visible metal frame and oversized cushions that seemed to hover in place. It was rational design wrapped in softness.
More than fifty years later, the Marenco remains one of Arflex’s most recognisable pieces. It has appeared in architectural homes across Europe and the United States, favoured by designers who understand that true luxury is comfort resolved with discipline. Now, that same design intelligence moves outdoors.
The Arflex Marenco outdoor armchair is not a diluted version of an icon. It has been carefully re-engineered to withstand the elements, with technical outdoor fabrics and a structure designed for durability without compromising the generous proportions that made it famous.
The result is a piece that blurs boundaries. It carries the ease of an indoor lounge chair but belongs just as confidently beside a pool, under a loggia, or on a sculpted urban terrace.
