Ethimo is an Italian luxury outdoor furniture manufacturer founded in 2009 in Foligno, Umbria, Italy. Despite being relatively young compared to other luxury outdoor brands, Ethimo has established itself as a significant player in the premium outdoor furniture market through its emphasis on Italian craftsmanship, sustainable practices, and collaborations with prominent designers.
The brand's design roster includes collaborations with Luca Nichetto, Patrick Norguet, Ludovica+Roberto Palomba, Matteo Thun, Studiopepe, and Ilaria Marelli. Each designer brings a distinct perspective, resulting in a varied collection that ranges from minimalist contemporary forms to warmer, more organic designs. Luca Nichetto's Knit collection, which uses a synthetic rope weaving technique, and Patrick Norguet's Grand Life collection in teak are among the brand's recognized lines.
Ethimo's product range includes dining tables and chairs, sofas, lounge chairs, daybeds, sun loungers, swings, and outdoor accessories. The company uses materials including FSC-certified teak, thermo-treated ash, natural stone, powder-coated aluminum, and handwoven synthetic fibers. Ethimo has placed emphasis on environmental responsibility, using sustainably sourced wood, water-based finishes, and recyclable materials where possible.
Manufacturing is based in Italy, with production combining traditional woodworking techniques with modern manufacturing processes. Ethimo distributes through a network of high-end outdoor furniture retailers, interior and landscape design professionals, and its own showrooms. The brand has a growing contract division and has furnished outdoor spaces for luxury hotels and residential developments internationally.
