About the collection
Esedra is Luca Nichetto's dining-led programme for Ethimo, built around ceramic-top tables on iron understructures and a rattan-inflected synthetic weave designed for permanent outdoor exposure. The collection reads as a Tuscan terrace from above and as a Sardinian veranda from below: large rectangular dining tables, generous high-back fabric armchairs and a long three-seater sofa, all finished in the workshop's six-pigment oxidised Tuscan palette.
Designer
Italian designer with studios in Venice and Stockholm. Works for Cassina, Foscarini, De La Espada and Ethimo. Esedra is his longest-running outdoor commission, refreshed every season with new ceramic and Sunbrella palettes.
The Esedra dining sits within Ethimo's permanent outdoor catalog, a position Ethimo has held as a European specialty outdoor house with established US trade representation. Esedra is produced in specialty European outdoor materials matched to the brand's catalog tradition as part of Ethimo's premium European outdoor programme, with the configuration designed by Ethimo's in-house design team.
Ethimo's dining pieces are built around specialty European outdoor materials matched to the brand's catalog tradition. For US trade specifiers, this means Esedra carries the same material data sheets and US-trade documentation as the rest of the Ethimo catalog: ASTM F1858 outdoor furniture compliance where applicable, fire-code classification on cushion components, and chain-of-shipment documentation supplied with the invoice. Bespoke fabric or finish substitutions are accepted on COM workflow with confirmed yardage at quote stage; see the Sunbrella and Outdura specifier reference for the workflow at the European factory.
Pricing for Esedra at US trade typically falls between on quote at US trade volumes, before fabric grade, finish premium, and consolidated freight. Lead time is 8-14 weeks from European factory to US port for standard configurations; bespoke dimensions, COM upholstery, or large hospitality volumes extend by 4-8 weeks. The collection is specified in US hospitality outdoor (boutique hotel terraces, resort pool decks, restaurant outdoor dining) and in premium residential outdoor (lake-house, pool-house, rooftop terrace) installations.
Standard Esedra configurations ship 8-14 weeks from European factory to US port. Bespoke dimensions or COM upholstery add 4-8 weeks. Hospitality projects above 50 pieces consolidate on a single container and follow the same standard timeline.
Yes. Ethimo runs a verified US trade programme. Net trade pricing for Esedra is shared after qualification (designer of record, project scope) and is set under the Ethimo non-disclosure agreement applicable to all premium European outdoor specifiers.
Most Ethimo collections, including Esedra, accept COM upholstery and bespoke dimensions within manufacturer tolerance. See the FF&E procurement workflow for the full COM and bespoke sequence, including fabric yardage, factory shipping, and lead-time impact.
Premium European outdoor pieces share a common care pattern: quarterly rinse with clean water and mild soap, twice-yearly inspection of cushions and fittings, and off-season storage of soft goods in freeze-thaw climates. Structural elements (aluminum, FSC teak, steel) typically carry 5-10 year warranties; fabrics and cushions 2-3 years against UV and stitching. US service life on European premium outdoor is typically 15-25 years on structural elements and 5-10 years on cushions, with COM refresh extending the cycle. Documentation and warranty registration are supplied with the invoice at the trade tier.
