Ethimo OLEIA Fabric garden sofa

Oleia is a fabric garden sofa.‎ Oleia is the lounge collection designed by Luca Nichetto for Ethimo, where weaving becomes a new language for outdoor design.‎ Inspired by Mediterranean landscapes and atmospheres, shaped by light and olive trees, it translates these elements into soft forms and an enveloping weave that expresses a sense of natural, essential comfort.‎ Conceived as a complete lounge system, the collection blends nature with design and tradition with contemporary style, in a harmonious blend of forms and materials.‎ Generous dimensions and curved lines elevate comfort to a delightful outdoor living experience, while the three-dimensional quality of the rope imbues each element with movement.‎ The collection includes a sofa, love seat, lounge armchair, pouf and side table with stone top, for matching solutions whose forms, proportions and details are enhanced by woven rope.‎ Oleia is a name that evokes Mediterranean landscapes, vibes, sunshine and olive trees, inviting us to enjoy open-air spaces in harmony with nature.‎ Its soft lines and woven rope are conceived to welcome and embrace, encouraging a sensation of comfort and relaxation.‎ In Oleia, Ethimo and studio NICHETTO® have created a collection transcending lounge sets in a place where design interplays with the environment, every detail speaking of balance and well-being.‎  The collection draws inspiration from the olive tree, symbol of the Mediterranean, with its flexible forms and interlacing branches.‎ The olive tree has been an enduring source of inspiration, influencing ancient civilisations in creating seats, baskets and light architecture blending materials and gestures in a perfect balance between beauty and function.‎ Oleia brings this principle into the contemporary world, its essential structure featuring a rope weave that develops and ‘moves’ like the branches of an olive tree.‎ Each hand-woven piece celebrates time, movement and direct contact with matter itself.‎ The rope takes on rhythm, texture and depth, transforming the surfaces into a dynamic and tactile element.‎  Lightweight yet sturdy and physical yet essential, Oleia stands the test of time, always true to its identity.‎ Natural light accentuates the weave, creating shadows and vibrations reminiscent of leaves dancing in the breeze.‎  Further info from manufacturer on OLEIA Ethimo
