The YOKO outdoor sofa by Toan Nguyen for Rolf Benz embodies a design philosophy rooted in adaptability, architectural precision, and refined aesthetics. It’s a versatile platform for outdoor living that evolves with your lifestyle and mood.
Built on a sturdy steel frame with integrated webbing straps, plush seat and back cushions, optional side elements, and refined shelving solutions, YOKO outdoor sofa offers endless possibilities: linear or corner sofas, recamières, sunbathing islands, or face-to-face configurations. Every setup can be easily redesigned in just moments.
Seat cushions are available in multiple lengths, while the backrest cushions can be customized with side cushions or bolster-style supports for enhanced comfort and definition.
