unopiù brings traditional ironwork back to the modern patio setting

UNOPIÙ CRAFTS OUTDOOR SERIES FROM WROUGHT IRON

Unopiù reinterprets classic wrought iron with IGEA, an ultra-light outdoor collection created in collaboration with designers Matteo Thun and Benedetto Fasciana. To achieve this, the series pairs clean structural lines and balanced classical proportions with a lighter, ergonomic frame. True to Unopiù’s lineage of open-air living, it honors the Sicilian lifestyle across modern residential and hospitality layouts, transforming gardens and patios into curated, functional retreats.

IGEA COLLECTION CONVEYS FORM, FUNCTION AND EVERYDAY EXPERIENCE

The collaboration bridges Unopiù’s heritage in traditional ironwork with the clean aesthetic of Matteo Thun and Benedetto Fasciana. Named after Hygeia, the Greek goddess of health, IGEA evokes well-being through a harmony of form, function, and everyday experience. Driven by this vision, the brand transforms heavy iron into a series of weightless, adaptable elements. In turn these pieces transition from private to high-end hospitality spaces, including hotel rooftops and poolside lounges.

CLASSIC CRAFTSMANSHIP PAIRED WITH ERGONOMICS

Handcrafted from wrought iron with a refined finish, the IGEA collection ensures long-lasting weather resistance. Designed as a set, deep-cushioned armchairs and sofas bring home-like comfort outdoors. Complemented by functional dining tables, including an extendable version, and round coffee tables. Additionally the IGEA sun lounger, featuring an ergonomic contour with integrated wheels, allows users to follow the sun while keeping a clean, minimalist design.

The series ties directly into Unopiù’s 2026 theme of travel, interpreting outdoor living as an ongoing journey. Expanding on this concept, poufs and statement cabanas complete the arrangement, evoking a bright Sicilian atmosphere. All in all, through soft lines and skilled work, IGEA transforms gardens and patios into an enduring Mediterranean retreat that balances form, innovation, and functionality.
