Sutherland Furniture Expands Otti Collection by Vincent Van Duysen
The Belgian designer's celebrated collection receives modular update
DALLAS, Feb. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Sutherland Furniture, the preeminent provider of luxury outdoor furniture, is thrilled to expand Vincent Van Duysen's 2019 collection, Otti. The Otti collection features intuitive pieces with slender aluminum frames and woven components that reference the collection's namesake, Otti Berger. The 2019 collection marked the first time Sutherland used Perennials rope – made with 100% solution-dyed acrylic fibers – for the woven details. The Spring 2021 additions provide many modular pieces, allowing for clients to fully customize seating arrangements.
The Otti Left Arm and Right Arm Sectional Chaises feature lightweight aluminum powder coat frames with Perennials rope base and back. The intriguing weave from base to arm pushes the boundary of minimalist design into Van Duysen's essentialist style. Allowing for innumerable layout options, the Right Arm and Left Arm Sectional Sofas embrace Van Duysen's fluid design approach and fit perfectly into the rest of the collection. The resulting adaptable designs perfectly encompass Van Duysen's spatial aesthetic.
"Following the success of the Otti collection from Sutherland, we wanted to expand the concept by developing a modular sofa system in a more versatile and flexible way," says Van Duysen. "The inspiration for the collection comes from the typical white metal-cast ornamental chairs that you find on elegant terraces, parks, and classic French gardens from the French Rivera. The result is a very elegant but timeless collection. The rope adds modernity and warmth to the aluminum structure, creating a beautiful contrast between the natural form of the rope and the perfectly detailed and precise aluminum structure. The overall expression sits in between classicism and modernism."
The modular Otti pieces embrace a deeper seat than the original Otti collection, providing ultra-comfortable lounge seating. While the original Otti Three-Seat Sofa easily adapts to smaller areas, the Otti Three-Seat Sectional Sofa features a larger scale, begging guests to relax and lounge for hours.
"We are honored to call Vincent Van Duysen a Sutherland designer. His expertise on materials and craftsmanship is unmatched," says David Sutherland, Founder. "This modular follow-up to the Otti collection manifests our passion for clean comfortable outdoor living."
The Otti collection is available to interior designers and architects through David Sutherland Showrooms and representatives throughout the US and abroad. To view the full collection, visit www.sutherlandfurniture.com. High-res images are available upon request.
