Capri – the armchair that stands on its own
The Unopiù Capri lounge armchair is the concentrate: not a system, not a series with ten variations – just an armchair. One that knows what it is, and does it excellently. Made with WaProLace® weave on a powder-coated aluminum frame, Capri is a lounge armchair that doesn't need extensions yet is open to additions.
Capri can stand as a solitaire on a terrace. It can be placed next to another armchair. Or it can complement an existing lounge ensemble that was missing a single seat. Its flexibility is its greatest advantage.
Design and Form Language
Capri has a distinctive yet unobtrusive silhouette. The backrest is generously shaped, the seat deep and comfortable. The aluminum armrests give the armchair a clear contour and provide support when standing up.
The WaProLace® weave wraps uniformly around the seat and backrest – no weld seams, no visible connections, just the calm texture of the material. This continuity of the weave is what gives Capri its special surface quality.
Material: WaProLace® and Aluminum
WaProLace® is Unopiù's high-performance weave developed from UV-stabilized polyester. It is weather-resistant, saltwater-proof, colorfast, and easy to clean – the ideal choice for an armchair that stands permanently outdoors. The aluminum frame is powder-coated and corrosion-resistant. The combination of both materials makes Capri an outdoor furniture piece that requires no protective measures.
You can find more information about outdoor materials and their care in our material guide.
The Elements of the Capri Series
The core of the collection is the Capri lounge armchair – available in various color variations of the WaProLace® weave. For added comfort, the Capri seat cushion is available, specifically designed for the armchair's seat. The complete collection can be found on the Capri collection page.
Use on the Terrace and in the Garden
Capri is an armchair type that works in various contexts: as a standalone statement on a small city terrace, as a single seat next to a garden table, or as an addition to a spacious outdoor lounge. The materials allow for year-round outdoor use. In combination with a Unopiù pergola or a parasol, Capri becomes a weather-protected favorite spot.
Capri in the Context of the Unopiù Brand
Capri complements Unopiù's larger WaProLace® lounge collections as a single armchair. Those looking for a complete modular lounge will find it in the Agorà collection. For a three-piece sofa set, the Olimpia collection is suitable. All collections can be found on the brand page.
