Ovios introduced Aero Evo at the launch event in California, a new outdoor furniture collection created with Studio F. A. Porsche. The line includes a sofa, lounge chairs, and a coffee table, and it marks the studio’s first outdoor furniture project. The collaboration brings together Ovios’s experience in premium furniture manufacturing and Studio F. A. Porsche’s minimalist, performance-led design approach, with comfort and function treated as part of the design rather than an afterthought.
Seen in person, Aero Evo feels softer and more sculptural than the Porsche connection might suggest. The woven side and back panel give the pieces presence, while the exposed metal frame and open structure keeps them visually open. It does not read like furniture trying to imitate a car. The link is more understated than that, showing up in the control of the lines and the clarity of the structure.
Henning Rieseler, Design Director at Studio F. A. Porsche, said the collection was developed with the American market in mind, particularly California. That lighter, more relaxed mood comes through, but the collection stops short of the usual resort furniture look. The forms are cleaner and more restrained, which gives the pieces a stronger identity.
The woven rope is central to that. It is not there simply to soften the frame. It shapes the way the sofa and chairs are read, giving them texture and volume, while the visible frame keeps the overall profile open. That contrast is where much of the collection’s appeal lies.
Aero Evo works best when the frame and weave are read together. The stainless steel frame gives the collection its outline and support, while the woven rope adds warmth and softness. The raised base and open structure create a sense of airflow that keeps the furniture from feeling too solid. The pieces have enough presence to anchor a space, but they do not feel heavy.
Rieseler said the collection went through several iterations, including adjustments to the height of the back panel and the size of the cushions. The goal was to keep the metal frame and woven back visible while maintaining comfort. That helps explain why the final proportions feel so controlled. The cushions are generous, but they do not cover up the structure or blur the silhouette.
The collection comes in three woven rope colors, charcoal, brown, and beige, along with four cushion color options. The charcoal version brings out a more graphic side of the design, while the brown and beige versions feel warmer and more relaxed. The lighter combinations suit open terraces and poolside settings especially well, while the darker option gives the collection a sharper presence.
Seen together, the sofa, lounge chairs, and coffee table read as a complete outdoor setting rather than a group of separate products. The seating carries most of the visual identity, and the coffee table sits more quietly within the arrangement. That feels right for a collection aimed at terraces, patios, garden lounges, and hospitality spaces, where the atmosphere matters as much as the individual pieces.
Ovios is releasing Aero Evo as a limited collection of 919 pieces worldwide, a nod to the Porsche 919 Evo that informed the project. Even so, the most convincing part of the collection is not the automotive reference on its own. It is the way the design handles structure, texture, and comfort without pushing any one idea too hard. For Studio F. A. Porsche, it is a confident first move into furniture. For Ovios, it is a collaboration that feels well matched. The result is a collection that feels considered, distinctive, and easy to imagine in use.
