MAYA
When the Cloud range was launched in 2010, it incorporated new thinking and technology
in the design of the upholstered elements and made these as comfortable as their interior
cousins. Cloud not only invented the ‘outdoor lounge’ category, it went on to define
it. So how do you improve this? It is often easier for a designer to start again rather
than take an existing design and make it better. This was the challenge; the gentle, but
meaningful evolution of an existing idea. To distil and keep the spirit of the original, but
refresh the aesthetic and expand its possibilities.
Maya takes the principle of the iconic Cloud collection and refines it to reflect and
enhance the sophistication of the new Gloster design philosophy. Particular attention has
been given to the materials and technologies used that are at the forefront of outdoor
furniture design. Maya frames features an ultra-slender powder coated aluminium profile
connected to cast aluminium legs. Side and back cushions are subtly revised in profile
and detail and additions to the range include console tables and planters that allow for
a series of living landscapes to be created outdoors.
