About the collection
With its stylish details, the Gaia lamp interprets light with the liveliness of colour and the elegance of teak. The table version of Gaia provides both directional and ambient lighting. A luminous ‘whim’ that interprets outdoor settings in different ways, creating captivating little spots for relaxing or chatting.The hanging version of the Gaia lamp provides pleasant versatile lighting for outdoor spaces. The magnetic system, which is also used for the table version, means Gaia needs no permanent base, and can be moved and fixed to any support in the garden, such as a sun umbrella or tree branch.
The Gaia lamp collection is a light concept that combines technology and design. Available as a hanging lamp or a table lamp, Gaia has a fabric shade that comes in a choice of nine colours and an on/off touch-control system. The light can be dimmed to two levels and is easily charged using the teak charging base, which has a magnetic connector and a USB port. The battery is guaranteed to last over 10 hours at maximum intensity, making Gaia the perfect choice for delightful evenings spent in the garden.

In situ
Gaia sits within the catalog of Ethimo, the Italian outdoor furniture house, and is designed by Marc Sadler. Ethimo produces in Italy across specialty outdoor materials — teak, powder-coated aluminum, rope, ceramic, stone and outdoor fabrics — selected per collection, with established US trade representation.
For US trade specifiers, Gaia 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.
Net pricing for Gaia is quoted at US trade volumes, before fabric grade, finish premium, and consolidated freight. Lead time is 8-14 weeks from the Italian 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 (terrace, courtyard, poolside) installations.
Gaia is designed by Marc Sadler, produced by Ethimo in Italy. Full material specifications, dimensions, and finish options are supplied on request with the trade quote.
Yes. Ethimo runs a verified US trade programme. Net trade pricing for Gaia is shared after qualification (designer of record, project scope) under the Ethimo trade terms applicable to premium European outdoor specifiers.
Most Ethimo collections, including Gaia, 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.
Ethimo 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, stone) typically carry 5-10 year warranties; fabrics and cushions 2-3 years against UV and stitching. US service life on Ethimo outdoor is typically 15-25 years on structural elements and 5-10 years on cushions, with COM refresh extending the cycle.
