Periscopio Chaise Longue
Made by Exteta
Designed by Studiopepe
The Periscopio Chaise Longue belongs to a lineage of Italian design that treats outdoor furniture as an extension of interior culture. Conceived by Studiopepe for Exteta, it draws from the bold formal vocabulary of 1970s design, translating that era's irreverent geometry into a piece built for open air.
Its structure is composed of a series of upholstered cylindrical tubes arranged in graduated sequence, producing a rhythm that is at once graphic and inviting. The form reads as sculpture from a distance and reveals its comfort only on approach. Every proportional decision, from the rake of the recline to the spacing between tubes, reflects a considered design intelligence.
- Designed by Studiopepe, the Milan-based design and art direction studio known for layered, culture-saturated interiors
- Upholstered tubes in outdoor-grade fabrics engineered for resistance to UV exposure, moisture, and humidity
- Suited to terraces, garden settings, and poolside environments where formal and informal scales meet
- Part of Exteta's broader Periscopio collection, which brings the same formal language to complementary outdoor pieces
Exteta occupies a singular position in Italian outdoor furniture: the brand insists that outdoor spaces deserve the same design rigor as any interior room. The Periscopio Chaise Longue is a direct expression of that conviction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who designed the Periscopio collection for Exteta?
The Periscopio collection was designed by Studiopepe, a Milan-based studio founded by Arianna Lelli Mami and Chiara Di Pinto. The studio is known for its culturally layered approach to interiors and objects, often drawing from the visual languages of the 1960s and 1970s.
What outdoor fabrics and materials are used in the Periscopio Chaise Longue?
The upholstery is specified in outdoor-grade fabrics engineered to resist UV degradation, moisture, and humidity. Exteta selects materials that maintain their color and structural integrity across varied climatic conditions, making the piece suitable for both shaded and exposed environments.
Is the Periscopio Chaise Longue available in different upholstery options?
As a made-to-order piece, the Periscopio Chaise Longue is typically available in a range of Exteta's curated outdoor fabric options. Configuration details are best confirmed through an authorized dealer or design consultant.
What is Exteta's design philosophy for outdoor furniture?
Exteta approaches outdoor furniture with the same formal and material ambition traditionally reserved for interior pieces. The brand, founded in Italy, positions the garden and terrace as genuine architectural spaces that merit considered, sculptural objects rather than purely functional ones.
How does the Periscopio Chaise Longue relate to 1970s Italian design?
The Periscopio collection consciously references the experimental formal language of 1970s Italian design, particularly its interest in modular geometry, bold silhouettes, and the transformation of the mundane, such as the cylindrical tube, into expressive furniture forms. Studiopepe reinterprets this vocabulary through a contemporary outdoor lens.
