About the Bok collection by Ethnicraft

The Bok outdoor dining sits within Ethnicraft's permanent outdoor catalog, a position Ethnicraft has held as a European specialty outdoor house with established US trade representation. Bok is produced in specialty European outdoor materials matched to the brand's catalog tradition as part of Ethnicraft's premium European outdoor programme, with the configuration designed by Ethnicraft's in-house design team.

Material and construction notes

Ethnicraft's outdoor dining pieces are built around specialty European outdoor materials matched to the brand's catalog tradition. For US trade specifiers, this means Bok carries the same material data sheets and US-trade documentation as the rest of the Ethnicraft 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.

Specifying Bok in US trade projects

Pricing for Bok at US trade typically falls between on quote at US trade volumes, before fabric grade, finish premium, and consolidated freight. Lead time is 8-14 weeks from European 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 (lake-house, pool-house, rooftop terrace) installations.

Frequently asked specifier questions

What is the lead time for Bok?

Standard Bok configurations ship 8-14 weeks from European factory to US port. Bespoke dimensions or COM upholstery add 4-8 weeks. Hospitality projects above 50 pieces consolidate on a single container and follow the same standard timeline.

Is the Ethnicraft Bok collection covered by trade pricing?

Yes. Ethnicraft runs a verified US trade programme. Net trade pricing for Bok is shared after qualification (designer of record, project scope) and is set under the Ethnicraft non-disclosure agreement applicable to all premium European outdoor specifiers.

Can Bok be specified with COM fabric or bespoke dimensions?

Most Ethnicraft collections, including Bok, 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.

Care, warranty, and US service life

Premium European 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) typically carry 5-10 year warranties; fabrics and cushions 2-3 years against UV and stitching. US service life on European premium outdoor is typically 15-25 years on structural elements and 5-10 years on cushions, with COM refresh extending the cycle. Documentation and warranty registration are supplied with the invoice at the trade tier.
