Ethimo Daytime bed Natural wood Wood. Dimensions: Ø 300 x H 320 cm –
Seat: Ø 270 cm – Upper diameter: Ø 120 cm. The best of other cultures,
combined in a new concept. Close your eyes for a moment and imagine the
mysterious atmosphere of a hut where people come to settle down nonchalantly
amid large, soft cushions. They relax, they talk, they laugh, life’s good:
Hut creates precisely that vibe. With Hut, Ethimo and designer Marco Lavit
create a daybed that looks like a cosy nest, suitable for a natural context as
much as an urban one. Halfway between a refuge, a cabin and a teepee, Hut is a
disconnected place of healing that lets you meet up, meditate … The prototype
of Hut was presented in September 2019 at Paris Design Week where it caused a
sensation and proved a resounding success, notably winning the Design Award
Archiproducts 2020. This spectacular wooden alcove is a refuge where you can
relax, meditate, read or work, alone or with others. This daybed is a real
object of conviviality. It's up to you to decide how you’ll settle down on
it: lying, sitting or leaning, anything is possible. Hut consists of a round
base 3 metres in diameter and a 3.20-metre-high structure, made of Siberian
larch slats, which form a kind of teepee and allow glimpses of the surrounding
environment. The airy structure plays with transparency, shade and light, as
trees and reeds do in nature. The diameter of the seat (270 cm) can accommodate
several guests. The Siberian larch is an FSC-certified wooden with extraordinary
qualities, perfect for resisting the outdoors and preserving its natural beauty
over time. Mobile and adaptable, Hut does not have a ground tie-down system. You
can customise Hut with various optional accessories (sold separately): a round
mattress for optimal comfort and a curtain that lets you „close the nest“,
protecting it from direct sunlight. Hut is an exceptional piece of furniture
that’s just as well suited to individuals as to urban and collective spaces
(bars, hotels etc). It lets you isolate yourself on a beach, in a garden as well
as in the city. Designer Marco Lavit: “I like to create worlds within worlds,
and this is what Hut offers: an outdoor bed for an urban environment or in the
heart of nature, a refuge, a nest to isolate yourself, recharge your batteries,
read, meditate … For a long time, I've been designing places of healing,
disconnected from the world, which allow you to meet up again. Hut allows me to
reproduce the world of cabins, like the ones I usually design, but on the scale
of furniture. It also reconciles the idea of comfort and proximity to nature.”
PLEASE NOTE. Wooden structure sold on its own: cushions and curtain sold
separately.
