In a world where authenticity and timeless beauty are increasingly rare, we find inspiration in the pure values of Mediterranean culture. Here, where the sun shines richly and the scents of rosemary and lavender fill the air, timeless architecture stands as a silent witness to generations who have lived their lives in harmony with nature. The Italian brand Ethimo, steeped in tradition, beauty and craftsmanship, is the backbone of a unique approach to outdoor living. It is a place where the savoir-faire of artisans is brought together with refined taste, and where every detail, no matter how small, tells a story.
In this world, innovative materials merge into unprecedented combinations. The play of light and shadow on the carefully chosen surfaces creates a harmonious balance between nature and design. Each new hue and unfamiliar finish contributes to the unique identity of each outdoor project. Whether on the coast, in the city, in the mountains or by the pool, the materials are carefully chosen and adapted to the specific requirements of the environment. Teak and a carefully selected range of fabrics become living materials, shaping and personalising an outdoor space, creating an atmosphere of refined elegance. 
A pioneer in the field, Ethimo was the first brand to dedicate an entire line to the mountain environment, a move that highlights their commitment to innovation and respect for tradition. The materials they use develop their own personality, and each piece contributes to the overall statement of the collection.With a constant attention to detail and a deep respect for nature, they use only FSC-certified wood from sustainably managed forests.This emphasises their commitment to an environmentally responsible future.
Over the years, partly through collaborations with respected international designers, Ethimo has developed a sophisticated style. Their collections of lounge furniture, dining room sets and lighting combine to form a carefully crafted outdoor concept. Each new season, they seek innovation by continuing to experiment with colour and material combinations. At Salone 2024, they reaffirmed this vision, continuing to strive for perfection in every detail. Because in the world of this Italian brand, it is the dedication to the smallest nuances that makes all the difference, a lesson that reminds us of the value of pure craftsmanship and timeless beauty.
Ethimo strives to create not only beautiful, but also responsible and sustainable outdoor furniture
This deep commitment to detail and craftsmanship goes hand in hand with a philosophy that emphasises the importance of sustainability. Ethimo understands that true beauty lies not only in the aesthetic, but also in the responsibility that comes with creating timeless pieces. Their commitment to the environment is woven into every aspect of their production process. From choosing eco-friendly materials to optimising production methods to minimise their carbon footprint, Ethimo strives to create not only beautiful, but also responsible and sustainable outdoor furniture. This commitment to sustainability strengthens their position as a forerunner in the world of outdoor furniture, where each product is a harmonious blend of nature, culture, tradition and innovation.
