About the collection
Combining elegance and sleek lines in a relaxed silhouette, Monocle feels refined, inviting and grounded. Its soft cushions bring an indoor level of comfort to outdoor living, while the solid wooden base anchors the piece with warmth and balance. Choose from pre-configured options or tailor your own setup, separate teak frames, separate cushion sets, end-seat and middle-seat variants, to create a sofa as unique as your space.
Designer
After designing for the prestigious Delvaux label, Jacques Deneef brought a couture sensibility to outdoor seating. Where his earlier Jack family hides the teak structure behind cushion volume, Monocle does the opposite, the wooden base is left expressive, anchoring the piece visually while soft cushion volumes appear to float above it. The result is the first Ethnicraft outdoor sofa with a true modular configurator.
Pieces in this collection
The Monocle outdoor lounge sits within Ethnicraft's permanent outdoor catalog, a position Ethnicraft has held as a European specialty outdoor house with established US trade representation. Monocle 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.
Ethnicraft's outdoor lounge pieces are built around specialty European outdoor materials matched to the brand's catalog tradition. For US trade specifiers, this means Monocle 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.
Pricing for Monocle 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.
Standard Monocle 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.
Yes. Ethnicraft runs a verified US trade programme. Net trade pricing for Monocle 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.
Most Ethnicraft collections, including Monocle, 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.
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.
