Portofino Sofa Set 3

Designed by Jamela Alawneh for Melaaura, the Portofino sofa set 3 does not merely furnish a terrace, it becomes the reason the terrace exists. It is the configuration within the Portofino collection that most completely realises the collection’s founding conviction: that the outdoor living room deserves the same seriousness, the same material quality, and the same depth of design intention as the finest interior space. The Portofino sofa set 3 achieves this not through excess but through proportion, coherence, and the quiet authority of a composition that has been thought through to every last detail.

The set is built on the modular logic that underpins the entire Portofino collection, where corner units, straight sections, and a low coffee table combine into a formation of sweeping, unified calm. Its near-square footprint,broader in depth than the smaller configurations — creates an arrangement that wraps genuinely around those within it, turning an open terrace into something more closely resembling an outdoor living room: complete and self-contained, defined by the composition itself rather than the architecture surrounding it. This is the configuration for large garden terraces, expansive pool decks, hotel lounge environments, and residential outdoor spaces where the brief is not to place some seating but to create a destination.

Hand-woven synthetic cord is wound over powder-coated aluminium frames throughout, in the same dense, continuous interlocking weave that defines every individual piece in the Portofino collection. The cord runs unbroken across each module, across the seat, the arms, the back, and every transition between sections,concealing the modularity entirely and presenting instead a single resolved object of considerable scale and quiet authority. The surface shifts with the quality of outdoor light across the day in the same way as the individual pieces: textured and warm in morning sun, deeper and quieter in the shade of the afternoon, lending the full composition a visual richness and dimensional life that no flat or moulded surface can match. The cord is engineered to resist UV degradation, moisture, and the sustained demands of outdoor use without losing tension, colour, or structural integrity over seasons.

The finish throughout is the collection’s signature warm greige, matte in depth, sun-resistant in composition, and possessed of a natural richness that deepens rather than flattens under direct outdoor light. The braided crown edge that traces the full perimeter of the backrest across every module is the detail that holds the vast composition together: a continuous line of artisanal precision that gives the set the sense of having been made with singular intention rather than assembled from parts. The low seat height and deep, generous cushion platform are calibrated for the kind of outdoor living that has no agenda,where conversations drift, meals extend, and afternoons dissolve into evenings without resistance or hurry.

Fitted with tailored cushions from Melaaura’s range of all-weather outdoor fabrics, the Portofino sofa set 3 becomes not just a seating arrangement but a complete sensory environment, woven structure, soft upholstery, and open air converging into something that is genuinely difficult to leave. The modular system allows the configuration to be adapted, extended, or refined as the space and the life it holds evolve over time, making this not merely a purchase but a long-term investment in how the outdoor space is lived.

Available in six weave colorways; Sage Green, Black, Natural Honey Teak, Ivory, Dark Brown, and Taupe. Custom sizing available on request.
