Dezeen Showroom: Spanish brand Gandia Blasco has launched the Islablanca outdoor furniture collection, which draws its form from the boxy, white-washed vernacular architecture of Ibiza and the surrounding Mediterranean region.

The Islablanca collection includes a sofa, armchair, sun lounger and tables. It was designed by Gandia Blasco Group president and creative director José A. Gandía-Blasco Canales, who wanted to root the design in the island location that has great personal significance to him.

"I first visited Ibiza in 1973," said Gandía-Blasco Canales. "It fascinated me. I will always remember that image as I said to myself: this is my place. With Ibiza I have a relationship of eternal idyll."

"Islablanca is inspired by the gorgeous and simple architecture of the island, with its dry-stone walls and that sobriety that for Gandia Blasco is synonymous with elegance."

In Islablanca, that architectural language translates into bold aluminium frames with square-shaped profiles, which are available in a wide range of powder-coated colours, including two new additions for Gandia Blasco, a metallic Night Blue and Gold.

The collection's sofa can be infinitely extended with the addition of more seating modules and the upholstery is edged with contrast stitching that Gandia Blasco says adds personality to the pieces.
