Genova Outdoor patio lounge set with handwoven rope

Olefin (polypropylene) is a synthetic fiber known for its resistance to UV rays, moisture, and stains. In Genova, it is hand-woven around the aluminum frame to create armrests and backrests with their own volume and softness. It’s the same type of fiber used in high-end marine furniture.

No. Olefin offers high UV resistance: the color is built into the fiber (solution-dyed), not applied as a surface coating. This ensures excellent colorfastness even after years of direct sun exposure.

Aluminum is a good thermal conductor, so it can heat up under direct sunlight. However, in Genova, olefin rope wraps the armrests and backrests, creating a natural barrier between the metal frame and your body. The cushions complete the comfort even during the hottest hours—perfect for enjoying American patios and outdoor spaces.

Yes. All cushions come with zip-off covers that you can remove and wash with water and mild soap. For everyday cleaning, just wipe the surface with a damp cloth.

Density 28 means 28 kg per cubic meter of foam. It ensures a great balance between softness and support: the cushion cradles your body without letting you sink in and returns to its original shape after every use, season after season.

The tabletop is made of powder-coated aluminum, in the same taupe shade as the frame. It’s durable, easy to clean, and requires no maintenance.

The hand-braided construction uses calibrated tension designed for long-term use. Olefin has low residual elasticity, so it retains its shape even after years of use. If needed, the rope can be re-tensioned.

Yes. Powder-coated aluminum, olefin rope, and Olefin fabric are all materials designed to withstand the elements. During winter, we recommend storing the cushions indoors or protecting them with a breathable cover to preserve their look over time. Designed with Made in Italy quality and craftsmanship, it’s built to perform beautifully in American outdoor spaces.

Yes, just simple Allen wrenches, included in the package. A few steps, with minimal time and uncertainty. For us, it’s more complex and costly to manufacture products using a bushing system with metal inserts. But for you, installation is easier, the product is stronger and longer-lasting, and shipping is faster and less prone to damage. When you weigh it all up, we believe this is what truly matters—and what real sustainability looks like.

On average, one person can install the entire set in about 30–40 minutes. With two people, the time is cut in half. The system with bushings and metal inserts removes the guesswork typical of mounting with screws in wood: each screw fits into its metal insert, a few turns with the Allen key, and you're done.

Yes. The bushings and metal inserts don’t wear out when disassembled. You can assemble and disassemble the set dozens of times, for example at the end of the season, without losing strength.

Each component fits in only one position: the bushings have different diameters and placements, so it’s physically impossible to connect a part incorrectly. The illustrated instructions guide you through every step, one by one.

Yes. The hand-weaving is completed during production. When you open the package, the side panels with the rope are already ready: you just need to attach them to the main frame using the bushings.

Use water and a mild soap, applying it with a soft cloth or a brush with gentle bristles. Olefin fiber does not absorb liquids, so dirt and stains stay on the surface and are easy to remove. Let it air dry.

The cushion covers are removable and can be hand washed with water and mild soap. For a deeper clean, follow the instructions on the inner label. Do not immerse the inner padding in water.

No. The electrostatic powder coating protects the aluminum from corrosion and UV rays. For routine cleaning, a damp cloth is enough. You don’t need oils, paints, or seasonal treatments.

Yes. The feet of the structure are designed for different surfaces: tiles, wood, grass, and gravel. On soft surfaces like grass, the feet may sink slightly; in that case, consider using flat bases under the feet to distribute the weight.

Genova comes with a 2-year warranty from the date of purchase. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in the frame, the olefin rope, the cushions, and the grommet mounting system.

Contact us and send photos of the damage. Our customer service team will review your case and arrange a replacement for the component as quickly as possible.

No. If the defect involves a single component (a bushing, a cushion, a panel), we’ll send you a replacement part without requiring you to return the entire set.
