There is furniture that fills a room – and furniture that defines it. The Conrad collection by Unopiu belongs to the latter category.
The Unopiu Conrad Collection is a response to the contemporary need for outdoor spaces designed with the same consistency as indoor spaces. Conrad is not a single piece of furniture, but a well-thought-out system – chairs, tables, stools, and bar stools that are coordinated in proportion, material, and design language. Developed by the Italian outdoor specialist Unopiu, founded in Tuscany in 1978, Conrad stands for a design approach that does not confuse reduction with austerity.
Design and Form Language
Conrad works with straight lines and precise angles. The chairs feature an upright, slightly reclined backrest, combining stability and comfort in a slender profile. The legs are finely proportioned without appearing fragile – a balance that requires skilled craftsmanship and soothes the eye.
"Several Conrad chairs arranged around a table create an image of serene order that fits into a wide variety of outdoor spaces – from urban rooftop terraces to expansive country house gardens."
The color palette – Graphite Grey and White – is deliberately neutral. Both shades can be combined with natural stone, wood, concrete, or greenery without competing. Conrad blends in – and yet makes a statement.
Material: Weatherproof, durable, timeless
All furniture in the Conrad collection is made of galvanized, powder-coated iron – a material developed for permanent outdoor use. Galvanization structurally protects the metal from corrosion; the powder coating gives the surface a uniform, matte finish and significantly increases resistance to UV radiation, moisture, and mechanical stress.
The result is weatherproof garden furniture that retains its character for many seasons: no fading, no rusting, no elaborate seasonal care. The stackability of all seating furniture reduces storage effort to a minimum – a practical advantage that is not apparent in the furniture itself.
The Conrad System
Nine pieces of furniture form a complete outdoor system – from the armchair to the folding chair and bar stool to the extendable dining table, which expands from 100 to 200 cm and accommodates up to ten people. Each piece is complete in itself – and only truly unfolds its effect when in a group.
"Conrad is a system that adapts to different outdoor spaces – without losing its identity."
Terrace, Garden, Pool
On the terrace, the dining set forms a calm focal point. In the garden, several Conrad groups can be combined: a dining set under a sun sail, a bar table with bar stools at the outdoor kitchen, a stool as a movable side element. By the pool, Conrad impresses with its weather resistance and lightness of form – the powder-coated iron is impervious to chlorine, saltwater, and direct sunlight.
Conrad outdoor furniture blends into Mediterranean and Nordic garden concepts alike – as well as into commercial outdoor areas of restaurants, hotels, and wellness facilities.
