About the collection
Kilt The Ethimo collection designed by Marcello Ziliani interprets outdoor living through an essential balance of teak, aluminium and contemporary comfort.
Conceived as a complete system dedicated to lounge and dining areas, Kilt stands out for its iconic seating and versatile design, naturally adapting with elegance to residential and hospitality settings.
The authentic warmth of teak meets the lightness of aluminium and the tactile elegance of woven outdoor rope, distinctive elements that define the collection’s identity while enhancing comfort, craftsmanship and versatility. Resistant materials and refined details contribute to a sophisticated and contemporary aesthetic, designed to experience outdoor spaces with complete naturalness.
Kilt has progressively expanded into a complete collection dedicated to lounge and outdoor living spaces. Sofas, lounge and XL armchairs, stools, tables and the sun lounger enrich the range today, offering new design possibilities for residential and hospitality environments focused on conviviality and open-air relaxation.
Designer
Italian industrial designer working across furniture and product. Kilt is Marcello Ziliani's collection for Ethimo.
In situ
Kilt sits within the catalog of Ethimo, the Italian outdoor furniture house, and is designed by Marcello Ziliani. 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, Kilt 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 Kilt 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.
Kilt is designed by Marcello Ziliani, 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 Kilt is shared after qualification (designer of record, project scope) under the Ethimo trade terms applicable to premium European outdoor specifiers.
Most Ethimo collections, including Kilt, 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.
