Ethimo at Niche Beverly: Where Italian Craft Meets the California Outdoor Life
There’s a particular kind of stillness that happens when a space is designed just right. The lounge chair holds you at exactly the right angle. The dining table catches the late afternoon light in a way that feels almost deliberate. The materials around you speak of something larger, a culture, a landscape, a philosophy about how life outdoors should actually be lived. That’s not an accident. That’s Ethimo.
At Niche Beverly, we’ve spent years curating collections that do more than furnish a room. Every brand on our showroom floor has a story, a point of view, a reason for existing beyond commerce. Ethimo is one of those rare labels where the story is inseparable from the product itself and once you understand it, your terrace, garden, or pool deck will never look quite the same again.
A Brand Born from the Italian Earth
Ethimo didn’t begin in a boardroom. It grew out of the Moutan Botanical Centre, a sweeping 14-hectare park sitting on the border between Lazio and Tuscany where its founders spent decades watching how humans and nature coexist when good design gets out of the way. When the brand launched in 2009, it carried that deep reverence for the natural world into every collection it would go on to create.
The result is a label that draws on the full sensory palette of the Italian landscape: the warm amber tones of the Mediterranean coast, the crisp alpine geometry of the Dolomites, the sun-baked richness of Puglia. Ethimo was, in fact, the very first outdoor furniture brand to introduce an entire mountain-inspired collection to the market, a bold move that signaled they weren’t simply making garden chairs. They were making environments.
Today, Ethimo’s presence spans more than 70 countries, and their collections have found their way into private estates, world-class resorts, and hospitality venues that demand both beauty and serious longevity. Here in Los Angeles, Niche Beverly is proud to bring the best of Italian outdoor design to clients across West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Malibu, and beyond.
The Designers Behind the Collections
What separates Ethimo from the crowd of outdoor furniture brands competing for your attention is who they collaborate with. This is not a company that designs in-house and calls it a day. Ethimo works with some of the most celebrated names in international design and each collaboration shows.
Matteo Thun and Antonio Rodriguez created the Allaperto collection, inspired by the rugged beauty of mountain architecture. Available now at Niche Beverly, the Allaperto family includes the Lounge Armchair, Sunbed, Lounge Bed, Free Standing Outdoor Swings, and a series of coffee tables, all rendered in FSC-certified teak with a quiet confidence that suits California’s indoor-outdoor lifestyle perfectly. It’s the kind of furniture that looks just as right on a hillside deck in the Palisades as it would at a chalet in the Italian Alps.
Patrick Norguet, the Paris-based designer known for his modular thinking, shaped the Baia family,one of our most-requested lines for clients designing pool-side lounges and coastal residences. The Baia collection at Niche Beverly spans the 2-Seater Sofa, XL Sofa, Daybed, Lounge Armchair, Sunbed, Pouf, and even a dedicated outdoor lamp, everything needed to compose a complete outdoor living room without ever leaving the collection.
Christophe Pillet conceived the Grand Life collection: a study in sophisticated minimalism that prizes ergonomic comfort as much as visual restraint. And the Calipso, Agave, and Clostra collections round out the offering with modular seating, ceramic-topped coffee tables, architectural planters, and privacy screens that bring structure and intentionality to open-air spaces of every scale.
The new Bold dining table series, available in Rectangular and Triangular formats brings an architectural confidence to alfresco dining that elevates the entire table experience. For anyone who has ever felt that outdoor dining furniture was something to tolerate rather than celebrate, Bold is the answer.
Materials That Actually Last
Luxury outdoor furniture is only worth the investment if it’s built to survive real conditions. Ethimo takes this seriously, and it shows in how their pieces age.
Teak is the backbone of many Ethimo collections, FSC-certified, sustainably sourced, and treated to resist UV damage and moisture without losing its characteristic warmth. Left to weather naturally, it takes on a distinguished silver-grey patina. Maintained with occasional oiling, it stays rich and golden-toned for years.
Ethimo’s proprietary EtWick® fiber is a technical synthetic weave engineered specifically for outdoor performance,resistant to salt air, UV fading, and the relentless heat of a Los Angeles summer. It looks and feels like natural wicker but performs at an entirely different level. Their newer LightWick® takes that further, offering a softer texture suited to pieces where comfort is the priority.
Powder-coated aluminum frames run through nearly every collection, keeping weight low while providing a structural backbone that doesn’t rust, warp, or corrode. For table surfaces, Ethimo turns to ceramic, lava stone, and concrete,materials that shrug off wine glasses, direct sun, and Southern California’s increasingly erratic weather without complaint. It’s a material palette that is honest, beautiful, and built with the assumption that these pieces will still be around in fifteen years.
Ethimo for Every Outdoor Space
One of the things we appreciate most about Ethimo from a design standpoint is how genuinely versatile the brand is. We’ve specified Ethimo pieces for intimate Bel Air courtyard gardens and for large-scale pool decks at luxury hospitality projects. The collections are designed to mix with one another, which means clients aren’t locked into a single look.
For pool-side environments, the Baia Sunbed and Allaperto Sunbed are consistently among our most requested pieces. For rooftop terraces, the Calipso modular seating system offers the kind of configuration flexibility that fixed-format furniture simply can’t match. For entertaining, the Baia XL Sofa and corner modules create a conversation area that feels generous without being overwhelming.
Ethimo also designs outdoor lighting, the Carrè Table Lamp, Wall Lamp, Floor Lamp, and Bollard,which means a terrace or garden can be composed entirely within the brand’s visual language, from the first piece of furniture to the last flicker of evening light. The Bulbi Concrete Vases and Clostra Planters extend that coherence further, turning the surrounding landscape into part of the design rather than an afterthought.
