Bring your outdoor space to life with considered furniture design.

Following the re-launch of our new Melbourne showroom now in Burnley St Richmond, Eco Outdoor is previewing a brand new product line of Italian artisan cotto.

A longstanding partnership with Italian architects and stone supplier Sannini saw the introduction of a new range of modern Italian cotto last year used by the likes of Mario Botta, Renzo Piano and Grimshaw Architects. In contrast to the highly engineered Sannini product, our latest cotto range takes this raw material back to basics. This cotto is hand-made in a small kiln by an Italian artisan family who have been making it for generations.

We believe that product materials play an important role in providing a sensory and tactile experience for architecture. In this case, the artisan skill of this family plays a crucial role in the quality of this finished product, and we're excited to be able to bring it to Australia.

Our Environmental Perspective

As you can imagine, measuring genuine environmental impact is a complex and lengthy process, especially in an industry where very little testing has been done to date.

The process of accurately identifying and measuring our impact is an ongoing one. In the meantime, our plan is to control what we can, offset where we can, and donate a percentage of our turnover to both local and international organisations who are working sustainably and responsibly in the industry areas we are engaged in. These organisations are in a far better position to deliver genuine social and environmental impact than us alone and we will continue to support their important work financially.

We'll be sure to let you know as we progress our own sustainability work over the coming year. It's an ongoing process and we would welcome anyone from the industry who would like to join with us and be part of the discussion on what global community means and the the role we can play in taking on our share of responsibility.

In the meantime, if you have any particular concerns relating to a product or a specific job, please give us a call and we'll do our best to provide you with the information we have so far.
