Tropitone Furniture Company opened the HD Expo & Conference in Las Vegas by announcing the introduction of the Spasso outdoor upholstered group with linking system for the Tropitone MODA brand.

“We are excited about the addition of the Spasso outdoor upholstered group with linking system to the Tropitone MODA brand,” said Tanya Stevens, vice president of Marketing & Service Operations. “Tropitone MODA offers distinctive fashion solutions for extraordinary spaces. All products have refined designs and meticulous workmanship. The brand personality is elegant, gracious and sophisticated.”

Stevens also pointed out, “Although the brand is targeted primarily at the commercial market segment, we believe many of the products will cross over and appeal to certain residential customers. The products were designed to withstand the outdoor environment, but we believe they will find their way to indoor spaces as well.”

Spasso was created by noted designer John Caldwell to address the styling and functional needs of upscale commercial spaces. The smooth, tight upholstery highlights simple and graceful lines. A subtle flair in the back allows the design to fit comfortably in a wide range of transitional and contemporary spaces.

“The Spasso group’s styling completely captures the polished, cultured & urbane personality of the Tropitone MODA brand,” said Tom Keddy, director of Product Management. “Spasso is also the first to utilize two of Tropitone’s new, innovative design features: 1) removable upholstered covers which enable easy replacement of the outer cover; and 2) a versatile linking system that allows seating, ottoman and accessory table models to be ‘ganged’ together in various lengths and patterns.”

 “A designer or property manager can circle them into one continuous loop, make a star, a crescent or any other shape that they desire,” said Peter Homestead, vice president of Design, “or leave them open-ended to wind around specific spaces. Each linking system connector has built-in pivoting that enables the Spasso models to stay linked and sitting evenly over rough or uneven surfaces. This pivoting feature also allows for simple pattern adjustments without the need to disconnect the linking system connectors.”
