About the collection
Sling chair is inspired by vintage camping in the seventies; the simplicity of its design hides the appeal of a totally on-trend aesthetic and functional personality, breathing life into an iconic element that lends character to any setting. Sling Chair is a ‘free’ ergonomic seating solution that teams all the necessary stability and resistance with extraordinary comfort. Its stainless steel tubular structure comes in various shades of bronze. The cloth, in Elitis fabrics, defines the seat and the many colours and patterns available make different styles and personalisation possible.
Sling chair is complemented by a coffee table with a matching steel frame and top in a special pigmented concrete mix that enhances its texture while lending it lightness and elegantly and originally tempering the solidity and compactness of this material. Ethimo and Studiopepe come together with a project articulated in unusual combinations of colours and materials, evoking the laidback elegance so typical of holidays.
Studiopepe is a design agency founded in Milan in 2006, by Arianna Lelli Mami and Chiara Di Pinto. Studiopepe’s focus is on design and research through the use of a multidisciplinary approach: this includes architecture and interior design (retail, hotels, private commissions), product design and creative direction.

Milan creative studio working across spatial, art-direction and product design. Sling is Studiopepe's collection for Ethimo.
In situ
Sling sits within the catalog of Ethimo, the Italian outdoor furniture house, and is designed by Studiopepe. 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, Sling 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 Sling 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.
Sling is designed by Studiopepe, 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 Sling is shared after qualification (designer of record, project scope) under the Ethimo trade terms applicable to premium European outdoor specifiers.
Most Ethimo collections, including Sling, 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.
