About the collection

Patio

Patio the Ethimo collection designed by Zanellato/Bortotto, expresses outdoor living through the art of weaving, combined with the authentic beauty of natural teak.

Inspired by the intimate, secluded charm of traditional Andalusian patios, it elegantly and authentically reinterprets the concept of en plein air comfort, creating welcoming and refined outdoor settings.

The true protagonist of the collection is the weave, a distinctive feature that becomes both structure and decoration. Handcrafted onto teak frames reminiscent of ancient looms, it defines enveloping, lightweight seating available in two colourways: the intense Laguna Blue combined with Light Grey, or a monochromatic Light Grey version, with a pure, minimal character.

The harmonious and balanced forms seamlessly extend from the lounge to the dining area, through a comprehensive range that includes lounge chair, sofa, daybed, hammock, dining tables, and coffee tables in various sizes. The tables stand out for their base, inspired by nautical bollards and crafted in outdoor rope, paired with different tops: teak slats or refined materials such as marble, travertine, or glazed lava stone.

Material and construction notes

For US trade specifiers, Patio 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.

Care, warranty, and US service life

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.
