Ethimo's 2026 Architectural Nature Catalogue Blends Outdoor Furniture with Pantelleria's Landscape
Ethimo's 2026 catalogue, named Architectural Nature, introduces a range of outdoor furniture that interacts with Pantelleria's Mediterranean landscape. The collection draws inspiration from the island's volcanic terrain and traditional dammusi stone buildings, emphasizing sustainable materials and elegant design. Notable collaborations include designers Luca Nichetto, Marcello Ziliani, Christophe Pillet, Valerio Sommella, Cristina Celestino, and the studio Zanellato/Bortotto. Featured items are Nichetto's Venexia club chair with aluminum slats, Pillet's Lodge lounge series, Celestino's Seeds tables with stalk-like legs, and Ziliani's Kilt set crafted from FSC-certified teak. Additionally, Sommella's Tama tables utilize enameled ceramic, while the Patio series showcases artisanal ropework.
