Betsy, the Dining Armchair

Vintage Elegance, Contemporary Comfort

Ethimo and Christophe Pillet have enhanced the world of outdoor dining with a chair featuring timeless style, an ‘invitation’ to relax and enjoy every single minute spent at the table in pleasant company.

Inspired by the appeal yesteryear and the look of colonial settings, Betsy recalls the unhurried entertaining that took place on the huge terraces and in the shady verandahs of residences in days gone by, where time passed in a perfect equilibrium of harmony and calm.

Betsy is an armchair in rope with a welcoming silhouette, which teams elegance with function. Its slightly sloping back together with its armrests encourages a relaxed posture while still offering good support. Available in two different colours—Burgundy and Amazonia—the refined weave of the seat is supported by light metal legs that confer streamlined stability to the armchair.

The ideal synthesis of tradition and innovation, Betsy is a discreet versatile everyday ‘presence’, characteristics that make it ideal in different settings. It can be matched with tables in a variety of styles, shapes and materials to create combinations that are always new and harmonious, from the most sophisticated mise en place to a more informal context. In the Natural version, which has been added to the Burgundy and Amazonia models, Betsy interprets this ‘philosophy’ masterfully: the neutral-coloured rope seat goes with the extensive selection of colours available for the aluminium structure, which makes for the widest range of customizations possible.

Vista, the Dining Armchair

Conviviality That Enjoys the Landscape

The formal language of the new Vista armchair was inspired by Christophe Pillet’s Lodge collection. The piece inherits its aesthetics, in a more versatile reinterpretation.

A new chair, a different perspective, and another way to socialize outdoors.

Designed by Christophe Pillet, Vista accompanies the dining experience into the garden by creating a harmonious dialogue with the landscape: you’re invited to have a seat, take your time, and enjoy the surrounding scenery.

Comfortable and made of light-weight aluminium, Vista stands out for its essential design that leaves space for customization. That’s its distinctive feature. In fact, this armchair comes in over twenty different colours available in either matt or glossy finish, and an equally broad selection of fabrics for cushions. This extensive range of chromatic and surface choices confers Vista with a ‘transformable’ personality. It adapts naturally to the most diverse outdoor settings, and helps to suggest infinite design combinations.

Intentional ergonomics and soft cushions offer optimal support and superior comfort, and the structure – available in all colours in the Ethimo catalogue – makes it possible to create transversal configurations suitable for different moods and environments.

Since it was designed with this in mind: to become a discreet centrepiece of the dining experience, Vista is a refined, recognizable object, ideal for a harmonious, balanced outdoor furnishing scheme in a home, public space, or hospitality business. Its clean lines interact with different environments: from city terraces to Mediterranean gardens, and from the most reserved rooms to large dining halls.

Ethimo is expanding their vision of open air living with Vista: a chair that adds not only function, but perspective and atmosphere. It’s the moment that design meets nature. Enjoy the “vista” of conviviality outdoors.
