With Valentina Up getting on and off your soft mats is even easier.

“I tried to design with the minimum elements to give more prominence to the cushions, as they do in the Asian culture, the Hindu culture or the Hispanic-Arab culture, and that they were a structural element rather than a decorative one or the complement of an armchair. With this design I won the Elle Decor EDIDA Spain award”, comments its designer, Alejandra Gandía-Blasco.
The Valentina Up collection is made up of a comfortable armchair, a two-seater sofa, a lounger and two tables of different sizes, all of which can be combined with each other and are perfect for creating original and fun atmospheres. Its comfortable mattresses are filled with polyurethane foam and memory foam, and they have removable covers, so you can wash them effortlessly. The top of the Valentina Up tables is made of a thick but very light solid aluminum plate, so you can move them effortlessly and use them to place your drinks in a chill out area by the pool.
