Founded in 2005 by the Maurizi brothers in Mogliano in the Marche region, Braid specialises in the production of
garden furniture. The brand's story began in the 1950s, when Luigi Maurizi, an expert weaver, opened his workshop. In the 1970s, the founder's son, Giuseppe, who introduced hand-woven wicker and rattan, took the step from bags and small accessories into furniture production. The third generation projected the family as a future leader in the high-end outdoor furniture sector, adding synthetic fibres to replace the less resistant natural ones and precious materials like wood and aluminium. The Braid catalogue offers a varied and diversified range of
outdoor furniture, including
lounge chairs, garden
tables and dining chairs. In operation since the its inception, the creative atelier, Braid Lab, develops products, materials and aesthetics. The laboratory makes life-size prototypes and carries out testing using well-established protocols, collaborating with emerging designers and renowned studios like
Angeletti-Ruzza Design and
Carlo Colombo. Quality design unites the company's basic values rooted in craft artistry, refined finishes and fine materials.
Braid outdoor sofas and armchairs: design for every need
Created by renowned designers or by the company's own workshop, the
Braid sofa and armchair collections are distinguished by careful design and various styles. The
Essential collection, designed by Peter Ivone, is characterised - as its name suggests - by essential lines and rigorous geometry. A distinct element is the powder-coated metal rod that creates the frames forming parallelepipeds to which the seating elements, which appear suspended, are fixed. The collection includes a garden lounger, a pouffe, a sectional sofa and two garden tables in different sizes. The
Zoe collection recalls woven fibres with its aluminium and polyethene Silver Dust structure that gives off iridescent reflections. Despite their rigorous geometry, the seats are comfortable thanks to the generous cushions upholstered in resistant outdoor fabric. In addition to two- and three-seater sofas, the collection includes an outdoor armchair, a low sun lounger, a high sun lounger and occasional tables in various sizes. The
Mahè seating line by Angeletti Ruzza Design, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, is distinguished by its pure, sculptural forms. The collection has infinitely modular elements consisting of a seat, armrest and backrest, as well as pouffes, dormeuse and loungers that can be used with the modules or as stand-alone pieces. Refined aesthetics and eclectic style characterise the
Metropolitan collection by Carlo Colombo. The powder-coated aluminium frame in three colours - white, taupe or gold - alternates straight lines with the curved lines of the backrest finished with vertical polyester strips. The seats are completed by a square cushion. The collection comprises modular elements, a two-seater sofa, an armchair, a pouffe and a sun lounger.
Braid dining tables, chairs and armchairs
The Metropolitan collection also includes dining armchairs, dining chairs, and an
extendable table in addition to lounge seating. The
Maxim folding garden armchair, designed by Carlo Colombo and Luciana Monticelli, evokes the classic director's chair. Progenitor of a series of nautically-inspired furnishings, it is made of high-quality materials, such as the tubular wood frame and the seat in Batyline, a breathable and weather-resistant technical polyester fabric. The armchair is completed by other kinds of seating and a series of tables and
dining tables whose legs are made of a combination of three circular wood rods joined by an x-shaped chrome-plated steel insert. The dining armchair,
Elegant, is distinguished by the unusual fibre weave that comes in three colours - white, black and mélange - to create a houndstooth effect on the backrest and low armrests. With its slightly inclined rear legs, the design recalls classic Scandinavian styles. The seat consists of a comfortable cushion covered in water-repellent fabric. Combined with the Teodora table, these elegant outdoor chairs are perfect for furnishing residential and public dining areas in style. The
Cloe collection includes a complete series of outdoor furnishings for the garden, poolside and terrace. The natural fibre weave with an irregular cylindrical section, reminiscent of traditional wicker, completely conceals the painted aluminium structure. In addition to the sofas, sun lounger and pouffes, the collection includes a circular sectional sofa and a "shell", or igloo, sofa with a strong aesthetic presence. The collection consists of the
Cloe dining chair, with no armrests and a high back; the
Cloe armchair, characterised by a classic design suitable for refined contexts; square and rectangular dining tables, finished with woven fibres.
