PASADENA BALANCES PROPORTION, COMFORT, AND CALM
Pasadena, designed by Jean-Marie Massaud for Vondom, introduces a collection of outdoor furniture defined by architectural clarity and a tactile softness. Composed of a modular sofa, lounge chair, sun lounger, and side table, the family harmonizes clean geometry with inviting comfort. The defining feature lies in the interplay of generous contours and visual lightness, creating a lasting presence suited to both exterior and interior settings.

VONDOM’S DESIGN PHILOSOPHY MEETS MASSAUD’S VISION
Known for its dialogue between form, environment, and lifestyle, Vondom continues its design-driven trajectory with Pasadena. With high-quality materials and a contemporary aesthetic, the Spanish brand shapes indoor-outdoor collections that embody elegance, ease, and durability. Their ongoing collaboration with Massaud — one of today’s leading voices in furniture design — reflects a shared ethos: to design objects that feel as good as they function.

INDOOR SPIRIT WITH OUTDOOR RESILIENCE
The Pasadena collection is crafted with aluminium, polyurethane, and advanced weatherproof fabrics, building on Vondom’s expertise with outdoor-ready materials. Each element has been engineered for structural integrity and softness, offering a level of comfort typically reserved for indoor environments. The resulting pieces adapt effortlessly from terraces and gardens to living rooms and lounges, maintaining a consistent visual language of calm and sophistication.
Pasadena evokes what Massaud calls generous comfort, never in competition to aesthetics. It is a series of enveloping forms with soft profiles and proportional purity, where a sense of calm is expressed through subtle gestures and intentional detailing rather than flourish. ‘This balance,’ he notes, ‘is the key to timelessness’ — objects that last beyond trend in both appearance and experience.
