Sherazade Outdoor Sofa
Made by Edra
Designed by Francesco Binfare
Francesco Binfaré has long approached the sofa as a field of possibility rather than a fixed object. Sherazade Outdoor extends that philosophy into open air, with a wide, generously cushioned base upholstered in Gellyfoam and synthetic wadding engineered specifically for exterior conditions. There is no declared front or back. Orientation belongs entirely to the occupant.
A layered arrangement of Thai pyramid cushions, large square pillows, and soft armrest cushions invites continuous reconfiguration. The same piece becomes a lounge, a daybed, or a composed seat depending on how its elements are gathered or dispersed across the base.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials make Sherazade suitable for outdoor use?
The Sherazade Outdoor is upholstered in Gellyfoam and synthetic wadding selected for weather resistance. All cover fabrics are specified for exterior conditions, maintaining their form and character through prolonged exposure to sun and humidity.
What does 'non-directional' mean for the Sherazade sofa?
The Sherazade has no defined front, back, or fixed orientation. Its cushions can be arranged on any side, allowing the piece to function as a sofa, a chaise, or a daybed depending on the arrangement and the setting.
Who is Francesco Binfaré and what is his design philosophy?
Francesco Binfaré is an Italian designer with a long creative partnership with Edra, known for sofas that prioritize sensory experience and adaptability over rigid form. His work explores how furniture can respond to the body and to emotion rather than imposing a predetermined posture.
Is the Sherazade Outdoor Sofa made to order?
Yes, the Sherazade Outdoor is produced made to order. Lead times and configuration options are best confirmed at the time of inquiry.
Can the Sherazade Outdoor Sofa be used as a daybed?
The non-directional base and generous cushion system allow the Sherazade to transition naturally into a daybed. Redistributing or removing the upright cushions opens the full surface for reclining.
