Tilos Collection, by Antonio Citterio
Tilos
One of my recurring design themes is revisiting classic typologies in furniture and updating them through contemporary dimensions and industrial processes. My work is continuous exploration of how these forms can evolve, balancing tradition with innovation to meet the needs of contemporary living.
The Tilos Collection includes armchairs, two-seater sofas, modular sofas, and dining chairs designed for outdoor living and dining spaces. The collection draws inspiration from the archetypal outdoor seating of the 1950s and 1960s, traditionally crafted in bamboo and rattan. However, it reinterprets these forms through today’s advanced technologies and industrial manufacturing processes.

At the core of the collection is a distinctive shell made of metal and woven acrylic rope, designed to cradle plush cushions while offering both comfort and durability. This shell is supported by a structural frame, available in either wood or metal, which provides a refined and versatile foundation. In essence, the design allows for a seamless interchangeability between the two base materials, adapting to different aesthetic and functional needs..

Additionally, the collection features dining chairs in two versions: a stacking model without armrests for greater flexibility and a non-stacking version with armrests for enhanced comfort.
With Tilos, the goal was to merge tradition and innovation, balancing artisanal references with the precision of contemporary industrial craftsmanship—creating pieces that feel both timeless and perfectly suited for today’s outdoor environments.
