Nardi Plano Outdoor Resin Sun Lounger
Awarded the Archiproducts Design Award 2026. The judges cited the seat width and the patented articulated backrest, which locks at four positions including fully flat. Designed by Raffaello Galiotto for Nardi.
The Nardi Plano is a reclining outdoor sun lounger designed for Nardi by Raffaello Galiotto — a UV-treated fibreglass-reinforced resin frame with a breathable synthetic sling, without armrests. Built for permanent poolside and outdoor use, it stays out year-round and simply wipes clean. Launched in 2025 at Salone del Mobile, Plano is Nardi’s newest and most premium sunlounger — longer and wider than the rest of the range, with a patented articulated backrest that adjusts smoothly all the way to perfectly flat.
The backrest reclines through four positions — sit up to read or lie back flat — and two built-in wheels let you tilt and roll it into place or follow the shade without lifting. The breathable synthetic sling is quick-drying and fully replaceable, so a tired cover is a simple swap rather than a new lounger.
The resin frame is UV-treated and mass-coloured so it won’t rust, rot or fade in the sun, and it folds and stacks neatly with its smart folding system for tidy storage — so it’s easy to store over winter or between guests.
