Most outdoor furniture hovers in a liminal space, familiar in shape yet compromised in comfort. Floe sets out to close that gap entirely. Designed by Edgar Aguilar for Maglin, it features a steel frame and substantial Douglas fir slats that read as rugged and elemental until you sit down. A precisely angled concave seat cups the body, encouraging a genuinely relaxed posture that
keeps you outdoors longer. Three interchangeable modules shift effortlessly between a backless bench, a backed couch and a wide communal platform. PEFC-certified and untreated, the Douglas fir weathers honestly, its natural patina deepening with time and use.
