New collaboration that tells the story of an unexpected, moving philosophy of life in the\u00a0open air, where design is inspired by nature and creativity becomes pure evasion.<\/p>\n
Exotic, natural and\u2026 special. This is the start of\u00a0Rafael<\/em><\/strong>, the new story told by\u00a0Ethimo<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Paola Navone<\/strong>. A project that is a child of the exceptional ability of this designer\u00a0to interpret and rework the aesthetic and formal approach of distant cultures and\u00a0landscapes and of the\u00a0Ethimo<\/strong>\u00a0passion for creating the ideal, harmonious relation\u00a0between furnishings and their surroundings.<\/p>\n Rafael<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0is the collection of lounge furnishings that aspires to be the emblem of an exotic\u00a0idea springing from contemporary imagination, capturing the essence of the world\u2019s\u00a0most fascinating locations to arouse extraordinary sensations of wellbeing and generate\u00a0new outdoor living experiences.<\/p>\n \u201cA family of seating solutions for any time of day, for your morning coffee, a snooze in\u00a0the shade or a gin and tonic at sunset,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>says Paola Navone,\u00a0\u201cRafael is sturdy, comfortable\u00a0and friendly. Its destructured shape is almost tribal. The slats that form the backrest are\u00a0all different and held together by big metal staples. This woody, organic shell forms a soft\u00a0nest of cushions. We have dedicated Rafael to a very special home.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Rafael<\/strong><\/em> is a modular system comprising a lounge seating, day beds and coffee tables. All\u00a0the elements can be used together or stand-alone. The alternating slats that make up the\u00a0backrests bring alive the unusual original hexagonal profiles of the frame, in the new\u00a0distressed natural teak finish. A dimensional rhythm that lends movement and visual\u00a0aperture, lending these furnishings dynamism and \u2018air\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" New collaboration that tells the story of an unexpected, moving philosophy of life in the\u00a0open air, where design is inspired…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":14874,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[458],"tags":[1559,3073,845,2768,2782],"class_list":["post-14873","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ethimo","tag-ethimo","tag-ethimo-2020","tag-ethimo-outdoor-decor","tag-paola-navone","tag-rafael"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
