About the collection
Phil, the new outdoor kitchen. Ethimo presents its first project linked to the world of kitchens, in collaboration with Gordon Guillaumier.
The Ethimo modus operandi has always been characterised by the creation of increasingly more complete, comfortable open-air spaces that set trends for quality outdoor living, in perfect empathy with nature and in line with new lifestyles. This is the creative spirt behind Phil, a kitchen with a smart ‘poise’ that simplifies the art of outdoor cooking.
Phil, the design ‘challenge’ met by Ethimo and Gordon Guillaumier, sees a new element take shape, with an unconventional design that, thanks to its special ‘nomadic’ configuration, emphasises the concept of outdoor entertaining, telling the story not only of an original way to personalise outdoor settings, but of enjoying contemporary cooking in a creative, relaxed way.
Born in Malta, Gordon Guillaumier studied in Malta, Switzerland, England and Italy. In 1991 he graduated in industrial design at the IED in Milan and the following year he obtained a master’s degree in industrial design at the Domus Academy in Milan. Since 1999 Gordon has been working as a freelance designer and in 2002 he founded in Milan Gordon Guillaumier Studio, a multidisciplinary design studio focused on products, interiors, architecture, fittings and consulting.
Designer
Maltese-Italian designer based in Milan, focused on quiet, rigorous furniture. Phil is Gordon Guillaumier's collection for Ethimo.
In situ
Phil sits within the catalog of Ethimo, the Italian outdoor furniture house, and is designed by Gordon Guillaumier. 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, Phil 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 Phil 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.
Phil is designed by Gordon Guillaumier, 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 Phil is shared after qualification (designer of record, project scope) under the Ethimo trade terms applicable to premium European outdoor specifiers.
Most Ethimo collections, including Phil, 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.
