Capri – the armchair that stands on its own
The Unopiù Capri lounge chair is pure concentration: no system, no series with ten variants – just one armchair. One that knows what it is, and does it perfectly. With WaProLace® weave on an aluminum frame, Capri is a lounge chair that needs no extensions while remaining open to additions.
Capri can stand alone on a terrace. It can be placed next to another armchair. Or it can complete an existing lounge ensemble that was missing a single seat. Its flexibility is its greatest advantage.
Design and form language
Capri has a distinctive but understated silhouette. The manufacturer describes the upholstery as hand-woven and crafted by artisans to give it a vintage look. The armchair measures W 67 × D 65 × H 84 cm.
The WaProLace® weave is hand-woven and creates a textile surface that appears both textured and light.
Material: WaProLace® and aluminum
WaProLace® is a registered Unopiù synthetic fiber made of polyethylene and hand-woven. The manufacturer has expressly developed it for exposure to the elements, salt, and chlorine, and describes it as liquid-impermeable. According to Unopiù, the aluminum frame is highly corrosion-resistant. The combination of both materials is designed for outdoor use.
You can find more about outdoor materials and their care in our material guide.
The elements of the Capri series
At the heart of the collection is the Capri lounge chair – available in various colors of WaProLace® weave. For added comfort, the Capri seat cushion is available, specifically designed to fit the armchair's seat.
You can find the complete collection on the Capri collection page.Use on the terrace and in the garden
Capri is a type of armchair that works in various settings: 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 are designed for outdoor use; the removable seat cushion should be stored away out of season. Combined with an Unopiù pergola or a parasol, Capri becomes a sheltered favorite spot.
Capri in the context of the Unopiù brand
As a single armchair, Capri complements Unopiù's larger WaProLace® lounge collections. Those looking for a complete modular lounge will find it in the Agorà collection. For sofas, lounge chairs, and coffee tables, the Olimpia collection is an excellent choice. All collections are available on the brand page.
