Description
Designed to blend seamlessly into a variety of outdoor environments while adding a unique, sophisticated touch, Onda was created specifically for outdoor spaces. Inspired by the fluidity and elegance of ocean waves, the Pininfarina design team drew on the dynamic shape of a wave, which forms a hollow or tubular structure (known as “onda” in Italian). At the core of the Onda Collection is its distinctive structure: a sleek aluminum band that cradles the cushions, becoming the signature element of the design. With flowing lines reminiscent of waves, this band serves not only as a visual feature but also as a practical one, functioning as a solid armrest—perfect for supporting objects. The material selection reflects Pininfarina’s 360° design philosophy: aluminum, sourced from the automotive industry, forms the structure, while yacht-grade fabrics—renowned for their durability—are used for the cushions.
“We have looked to the beauty of nature to give life to Onda, a piece that is both distinctive and adaptable to various environments. The
technology and expertise drawn from different industries make it truly unique,” explains Paolo Pininfarina, Chairman of Pininfarina.
“Pininfarina always brings innovative visions and futuristic designs to life. The Onda design is influenced by automotive technology and the use of premium materials. We are confident this new creation will revolutionize the outdoor furniture industry!” remarked Alwin Ou, Chairman of Higold Group.
Onda is the second project to emerge from the partnership between Higold and Pininfarina, following its unveiling at the Higold headquarters in Shunde, China, in March 2017. With carefully selected materials, Onda is engineered to withstand all weather conditions, balancing durability, style, and comfort to offer an exceptional outdoor experience.
