Frequently Asked Questions

Who designed the Periscopio Sofa for Exteta?

The Periscopio Sofa was designed by Studiopepe, the Milan-based creative studio known for work that draws on art history, fashion, and mid-century Italian culture to produce furniture and interiors with a distinct visual identity.

What design era does the Periscopio Sofa reference?

The piece draws from the geometric design language of the 1970s, a period defined by bold cylindrical and spherical forms in Italian furniture. Studiopepe channels that sensibility into a contemporary outdoor context.

Is the Periscopio Sofa suitable for fully exposed outdoor use?

The sofa is engineered with weather-resistant materials appropriate for outdoor environments. For fully exposed installations, consulting with the manufacturer about specific fabric and frame specifications for your climate is recommended.

What materials are used in the Periscopio Sofa's construction?

Exteta constructs the Periscopio with outdoor-grade upholstery and a structural frame specified for weather resistance. Precise material options, including frame finishes and fabric grades, are available through the brand's configuration options.

How does the Periscopio Sofa fit into a broader outdoor furniture arrangement?

Its strong geometric silhouette works well as an anchoring piece within a composed outdoor setting. The cylindrical forms create visual dialogue with both rectilinear architecture and organic garden environments.
