Cutting Edge Outdoor Daybed Design from iola

As leading designers and manufacturers of contemporary, industry-leading garden furniture, this very special iola outdoor daybed is one of our favourite creations. We are so proud of our design that we’d like to take this opportunity to let everyone know about the processes behind the design and creation of our unique outdoor daybed product.

The iola sailbed is an exceptional outdoor daybed which we believe is an example of exactly how all outdoor furniture should be: innovative, stylish, comfortable and resilient. Our finished outdoor daybed design started life as a spark of inspiration, prompted by the Sydney Opera House. Inspired by the curves and peaks of the Opera House’s architecture, our talented designer, Gidget McNevin envisioned this stunning outdoor daybed.

The overall outdoor sunbed design is simultaneously beautiful and incredibly practical – with dozens of special features and clever little twists. The ‘sails’ of this outdoor daybed rotate, opening and closing to offer you real flexibility. Whether you’re looking for more shade, extra sun or enhanced privacy, the clever design of the iola outdoor daybed allows you to create your perfect outdoors space at all times of day.

Along with this impressive functionality, the outdoor daybed design is extraordinarily elegant. This is not just down to beautiful design. The industry-leading materials we use to create our outdoor daybed also have a huge part to play. We use the very best, German-engineered Rehau Stressflex ™ fibres to ensure that our designs are durable, weather- and UV-resistant and virtually indestructible. These same fibres allow for unprecedented flexibility when it comes to creating fantastic new garden furniture designs.

Accompanying our inspiration and materials, the outdoor daybed has also benefitted from the traditional expertise of talented weavers in Cebu. Under the auspices of renowned head weaver Ruel Atis, the original outdoor daybed design took shape.

All too frequently garden furniture fails to be both beautiful and functional, yet we believe that this doesn’t have to be the case. This is just one reason that we are especially proud of our new outdoor daybed. It looks stunning, is beautifully practical and will stay that way season after season.
