On a recent trip to Greenland, architect and designer Patricia Urquiola was struck by small trampolines she noticed in the gardens of local homes. Inspired by the objects' form and materiality, she designed the Trampoline love bed, launched this year at German furniture fair imm cologne as part of Cassina's first complete outdoor collection. "We kept the technical and playful aspects. The roped back and base [are] made with technical materials that follow the concept of sports equipment used in gyms," Urquiola explains, noting the nylon rope that provides the bed with a decorative yet functional crisscross pattern. For Urquiola, Trampoline, with its built-in canopy and graphic, multi-colored cushions, is a shady and comfortable oasis made for those ready to bask in the joy of outdoor living.
