A collection of outdoor furniture focused on comfort
Milos’s various pieces reflect the organic formation of rocks, gently sculpted over time by the wind and waves, evoking the serene essence of a Mediterranean landscape. “My intention was to bring to Vondom a non-Cartesian design that can be combined organically, as life on a reef,” the designer explained. This approach fosters a seamless integration of elements. It reflects the dynamic vitality inherent in nature’s intricate formations.
Nature serves as the driving inspiration behind the Milos collection, a theme that Massaud skillfully echoes through his meticulous selection of materials and varied textures. Consisting of a modular sofa and two armchair designs, wood and polyurethane combine to create an inviting seating experience for leaning back and relaxing. Meanwhile, lightweight cement and wood combine to create the charming low tables, complemented by rotomolded planters with a rustic stucco finish. This ensemble not only embodies a rustic aesthetic, but also a harmonious blend of natural elements, inviting people to immerse themselves in the tranquility of outdoor living.
"For this new collaboration with VONDOM, I wanted to evoke the original identity of this brand born between the sea and the mountains in Valencia (Spain)".

Designer
Jean-Marie Massaud
Since the beginning of his career (Jean-Marie Massaud, a 1990 graduate of Paris’ ENSCI-Les Ateliers, Paris Design Institute), he has been working on an wide range of projects, stretching from architecture building to objects, from one-off project to serial ones, from macro environments down to micro contexts. Major brands such as Axor, Cassina, Christofle, Poliform, Toyota have solicited his ability to mix comfort and elegance, zeitgeist and heritage, generosity and distinction.
Beyond these elegant designs, his quest for lightness – in matters of essence – synthesizes three broader stakes: individual and collective fulfillment, economic and industrial efficiency, and environmental concerns. “I’m trying to find an honest, generous path with the idea that, somewhere between the hard economic data, there are users. People.”
