Ethimo Rectangular table Green Stone. Dimensions: 264 × 154 cm x H
73.5 cm. Famous around the world, designer Paola Navone draws her inspiration
from her travels. Exotic, natural and unique: that’s the essence of the
Rafael collection. This outdoor furniture is the result of the
designer's exceptional ability to reinvent the aesthetic and formal thought
of distant cultures and landscapes. The raw beauty of materials such as teak,
marble or enamelled lava rock is combined with natural, primitive, welcoming
forms. Paola Navone defines these destructured, solid lines as „tribal“. The
Rafael collection takes on an organic dimension, exuding comforting, vibrant
charisma. This new collection tells of a philosophy of life in the open air,
unexpected and exciting, where design is inspired by nature, and creativity
becomes escape. This octagonal table stands out with its fragmented,
destructured design. The rough forms seem to have been carved into the rock. The
enamelled lava stone top consists of three parts with faceted geometric lines,
assembled to form a graphic composition. The emerald-coloured enamelled lava
stone may exhibit variations in shade as well as occasional inhomogeneities
which are specific characteristics of natural stone and artisanal finishing. Its
surface has exceptional characteristics in terms of hygiene, resistance to
atmospheric agents, stains, scratches, and low water absorption. FSC-certified
teak is of the highest quality and comes exclusively from controlled regrowth
plantations which observe strict reforestation processes. It offers excellent
properties in terms of lifespan, durability and beauty, even when exposed to
changes in temperature, water, humidity and salinity. The sanded teak version
has a certain charm of yesteryear.
