The new project for outdoor relaxation by Ethimo e Christophe Pillet

With Lodge, Ethimo and Christophe Pillet have created a line of lounge furnishings that reflect the real appeal of unspoilt nature, a sensorial ‘journey’ where the warm hues of the earth meet the elegance of refined contemporary design, featuring such generous shapes that Lodge becomes synonymous with maximum comfort for outdoor living.

The name recalls the intimate, cosy atmosphere of those wonderful havens set in nature, like the lodges in the savannah, places of peace and contemplation that give a sense of being at one with the surrounding landscape. Inspired by this concept, the elements in the collection reflect the same warmth and same relaxed welcome.

Lodge consists of a sofa, including modular versions, an armchair, a daybed, a pouf, and a coffee table with a top in marble, lava stone, or aluminum with a matte finish—a collection of furnishings designed for outdoor relaxation and socializing, allowing for various configurations.

The suspended structure in tubular aluminium with a bright polished finish holds generous cushions in colours inspired by the intense vibrant hues of the savannah, suggesting a visual harmony that is an invitation to wellbeing.

The overall design of Lodge has been studied to ensure an extraordinarily comfortable seating experience: all the elements in fact stand out for their large proportions and depth of their seats that welcome the body in a soft ‘embrace’. Special attention has been paid to the choice of fabrics, inspired by the robustness of heavy canvas. Resistant and durable, they are enhanced by double denim-style stitching, a tailoring detail that enhances the artisan quality of the collection.

Lodge comes in four colour moods that are deliberately evocative: Kaki recalls the intense shade of dark green and mud; Paprika is reminiscent of red earth and burnt brown shades; Sesamo features a sophisticated ‘blend’ of warm greys, and Caramel explores the soft cosy shades of dove grey.

Lodge has been designed to be admire from any angle: the back of the different solutions features an elegant pattern of ‘strips’ in aluminium that support the cushions, lending lightness and refinement to the overall design. This ensures visual harmony to each solution, whatever its chosen position.

The end result is a lounge collection that perfectly balances form and function, and tells a story of extraordinary comfort, perceptible both visually and physically.
