Product description
Rafael is a rope and teak chair with armrests by Ethimo, designed by Paola Navone. Thanks to Paola Navone's unique, visionary creativity and Ethimo's design experience, the dining table becomes a surprising "design" that can transform any dining room into an elegant, original and exciting lifestyle. Precious materials, pleasant to the touch, fascinating-looking countertops and details designed to make Rafael tables and chairs a unique ensemble that provides a new experience of contact with nature and a new "mode" for dining on fresh air. The perfect balance of comfort and design, Rafael tables come with matching small armchairs. Ergonomic and comfortable, they combine teak construction with a surprising weave of light gray round rope on the seat, giving a unique eclectic character that runs throughout the entire collection. The gray plastic supports of the structure are an elegant, decorative and at the same time functional "oddity". Strong lines, beautiful materials and energetic colors dialogue in the Rafael tables and small armchairs, creating continuity with the whole design. The Rafael dining room collection is a "homage" to the contemporary outdoor table, giving a personalized uniqueness and creative character to residential interiors and highlighting the most exclusive contract spaces, in an original, refined social interpretation. Exotic, natural and… unique. This is the beginning of RAFAEL, a new story told by Ethimo and Paola Navone. A project that is the result of this designer's unique ability to interpret and transform the aesthetic and formal approach to distant cultures and landscapes, as well as Ethimo's passion for creating a perfect, harmonious relationship between furniture and its surroundings. RAFAEL is a collection of lounge furniture that aspires to be a symbol of the exotic an idea born from contemporary imagination, capturing the essence of the world's most fascinating places to evoke extraordinary sensations of well-being and generate new experiences of outdoor living. Created to bring to life the most exclusive outdoor spaces with their own unique personality, this collection 'absorbs' the changing, multi-faceted shapes of nature and retains its essential influences, which shine in the strength of its lines and the raw beauty of its materials. In this way, design, materials and decorations create furniture with an eclectic soul. Solid, friendly articles with cozy volumes that express color and energy. The artisanal craftsmanship of teak, marble and lava stone actually combines with a refined range of textile colors, again designed by Paola Navone, which highlight the upholstered furniture. RAFAEL is a modular system that includes lounge seats, daybeds and coffee tables. All elements can be used together or separately. Alternating slats forming the backrests bring to life the extraordinary original hexagonal frame profiles in a new distressed natural teak finish. A dimensional rhythm that gives movement and visual aperture, giving these furniture dynamics and "air". The backrests are a series of asymmetrical slats connected with each other with special metal "staples", which, together with the frame, create a wooden organic shell that houses a soft "cavity" of pillows with a refined weave and intense colors.
