ORLANDO OUTDOOR LIVING

Orlando outdoor modular sofa


For me Orlando first and foremost is the city in Florida where I arrived for the first time over 30 years ago. As a close second I must say it was the film based on Virginia Wolf´s Orlando A Biography that exceptional Tilda Swinton played the lead in. Se more of Virgina Wolf on the bottom of the post.

Third place in this Orlando quest is the modular seating by designduo Karl Glismand & Tonny Rüdiger for Danish giant Bolia.com 2004 that I fell for and incorporated in my own studio entresol apartment at Södermannagatan 10 at Södermalm, Stockholm 10 years ago and still think looks great.  


Orlando



English : 

16 years later Orlando is introduced as a outdoor sofa. With a frame of aluminium - to prevent rost - its just as comfortable as it is elegant, thanks do a soft foam called Pantera and the fabric Leaf, in grey nuances designed specifically for this model. The Orlando outdoor sofa is waterproof and dries in a couple of hours.

Swedish:  

Sexton år senare introduceras nu Orlando som en utomhusmöbel. Med en aluminiumram,  för att förhindra rost så är den lika komfortabel som den är elegant, tack vare ett mjukt skum som kallas Pantera och tyget Leaf, ett tyg i gråa nyanser, designat specifikt för denna modell. Kollektionen är dessutom vattentät och torkar på några timmar.

The outdoor moduls of Orlando does not come in as many versions but you can still create your own "sofaland". 

Swedish

Utomhuskollektionen skiljer sig lite från inomhuskollektionen och finns tillgänglig som följande: en hörnmodul som du snabbt och enkelt kan byta plats på – vänster, höger, du bestämmer. En 100 cm ryggmodul, 100x100 cm eller 50x100 cm sittmodul utan ryggstöd samt sköna ryggkuddar i två längder. Dessutom kan du göra din soffa mer personlig genom att använda de medföljande dekorativa delarna som tillfälliga bord. Allt detta för att du ska kunna skapa ett "sofaland" utomhus som ser unikt ut och som passar just ditt hem!

Orlando: A Biography 
Is a novel by Virginia Wolf , first published on 11 October 1928. A high-spirited romp inspired by the tumultuous family history of Woolf's lover and close friend the aristocratic poet and novelist Vita Sackville-West, it is arguably one of Woolf's most popular novels: a history of English literature in satiric form. The book describes the adventures of a poet who changes sex from man to woman and lives for centuries, meeting the key figures of English literary history. Considered a feminist classic, the book has been written about extensively by scholars of women´s writing and gender and transgender studies.  
The novel has been adapted a number of times. In 1989, director Robert Wilson collaborated on a single-actor theatrical production with Miranda Richardson playing the title role. Isabelle Huppert performed in the version in French, which opened  in Lausanne, Switzerland in 1993. A film adaptation by Sally Potter, simply titled Orlando, was released in 1992, starring Tilda Swinton  Another stage adaption premiered in New York City in 2010. In 2016 Orlando premiered as an opera based on the work at the Vienna State Opera in December 2019.
