Ethimo LOOP Curved fabric garden sofa

Loop is a curved three-seat outdoor sofa, presented on the occasion of MDW 2026.‎ In this project, Elena Salmistraro transforms the concept of seating into a fluid, dynamic “sculpture” open to multiple interpretations.‎ Conceived to go beyond its traditional function, the volumes that make up Loop combine in equilibrium to form an endless embrace of shapes.‎ Its very name hints at an idea of continuity and natural rhythm, one that ‘loops’ back on itself, welcomes, connects, and holds together, just like the relationships it prompts.‎ A free, spontaneous user experience, open to so many possibilities.‎ Loop is accessible from any side and its configuration does away with the distinction between front and back, prompting spontaneous use not only of the seat, but also of the surrounding area.‎ Its sinuous design invites sharing, a sofa for meeting and spending time together, rather than just sitting.‎ This allows Loop to become a spectacular, autonomous presence, generating a sense of spontaneous relationships between people as it dialogues with its setting.‎ The new three-seater sofa is self-bearing, defined solely by its technical padding instead of a visible structure.‎ Featuring high-performance upholstery for outdoor living, with a soft comfortable hand, Loop takes on shape and substance thanks to its very material.‎ A sinuous silhouette emphasises its welcoming nature, while the three different fabric options amplify its personality, allowing it to adapt effortlessly to different surroundings.‎ Loop is available in two different colourways: one inspired by the earth with warm hues ranging from red to rust that recall Mediterranean landscapes, and the other inspired by the sea, with shades of sky blue and sea green that recall a scenic coastline.‎ Ideal for furnishing residential spaces, where it becomes a soft ‘presence’ for socialising, bringing personality to outdoor locations, this sofa is also the perfect solution for hospitality and contract projects, where it acquires a more theatrical dimension and helps to define the character of any space.‎ Loop can, consequently, become the main player in any outdoor location or dialogue with other seating elements, standing out in any case thanks to its strong, instantly recognisable presence.‎ With Loop, what goes around, comes around: people, conversations, even space, lending shape to a new form of outdoor socialising, freer and more fluid.‎ A project that embodies the Ethimo aptitude for continual exploration of new ways of enjoying nature, where design and conviviality come together in an enjoyable loop.‎ Further info from manufacturer on LOOP Ethimo
