B&B Italia Erica garden armchair / lounge chair 80 cm

The Erica outdoor armchair is a combination of extruded and die-cast aluminium. Its construction guarantees not only lightness and durability but also ergonomic comfort, optimised specifically for outdoor use. This makes the chair suitable for public as well as private settings.

PLEASE NOTE: if the products are placed outdoors and left unused for a longer period, we recommend packing them into a waterproof protective cover for protection.

Fabrics without treatment (AGATE - EFESO - ELIDE - LESIA - LINDOS - LIPARI - SAMOS)

These fabrics underline the comfort of the products, as they are comparable to indoor covers in softness and breathability, even though the fibres used are stabilised polypropylene (PP - Agate, Efeso, Elide, Lesia, Lipari, Samos) or polyester (PL - Lindos) for outdoor use. Furniture covered with these fabrics requires more careful maintenance, as the fabrics absorb water even though the waterproof inner cover does form a certain barrier. Under extreme conditions (heavy and prolonged rain) there is nevertheless a risk of water penetrating the cushions.

Fabrics with water-repellent treatment (ECATE - ELCE - EOS - LEILA - LOREO - SILEA)

The water-repellent treatment is a permanent treatment and can only be applied to polyester fabrics (PL - Elce, Loreo, Silea) or to acrylic fabrics (PC - Ecate, Eos, Leila). Its greatest advantage is that the fabric fibres become completely impermeable without the appearance, hand, effect and breathability of the fabric being impaired in any way. Because the fabric is water-repellent it does not become damp, but that does not mean the fabric is impermeable, as its reverse side is not given the waterproof treatment. The acrylic fabrics (PC - Ecate, Eos, Leila) emphasise a softness comparable to that of indoor covers.

Fabrics with water-resistant treatment (ELEO - ELETTO - EPEO - ERIA - EVO)

These fabrics are likewise stabilised polypropylene for outdoor use. The difference from the untreated fabrics is that their reverse side is given a waterproof treatment: a polyurethane film is applied to the back of the fabric, which ensures that no water can pass through. The visible side becomes damp, while the inner side is protected against the ingress of liquids. Please note that the waterproof fabrics are not 100% impermeable; if the fabrics are frequently and lengthily exposed to water (e.g. in heavy rainfall), covers should be used to protect the product and to prevent water penetrating through the seams and wetting the upholstery. The polyurethane film remains durable even after numerous wash cycles and can therefore be described as a permanent finish.

Waterproof fabrics (ALCEO)

Alceo is a waterproof fabric from the nautical sector with high resistance to weathering, germs, abrasion and stains, which makes it suitable for the contract sector as well. It is a waterproof fabric that prevents water from penetrating. The textile was developed specifically for outdoor use without particular maintenance effort: a damp sponge is enough to remove stains, and dry dirt can simply be brushed off. With minimal care, Alceo is able to retain its original appearance and prevents water from penetrating into the cushions.
