Allaperto Bistrò is the dining armchair inspired by the cosy atmosphere of typical French bistros. Reworked by Ethimo, Matteo Thun and Antonio Rodriguez, this new armchair is characterised by the ergonomic comfort of its seat and its totally on-trend allure preserves the unmistakable, timeless charm of weaving. Allaperto Bistrò manages to combines bold Parisian appeal with simple functional refined design in materials that embody all the appeal of artisan weaving and a minimal silhouette. This new armchair reflects not only the dynamic versatile spirit of the broader Allaperto collection, it also ‘preserves’ its distinctive feature, teaming a Coffee Brown metal structure and teak with the hand-woven rope that lends shape to the comfortable seat. The rope used, available in the colours Sand, Sand and Dark Grey, or Sand and Salvia, emphasises the herring-bone weave in colours borrowed from nature. Easy to stack, this armchair is the perfect casual companion for tables with different shapes, uses and materials. Conceived for the design of welcoming and evocative outdoor dining and conversation areas for the contract and hospitality sector, Allaperto Bistrò dining armchair is also perfect for residential settings, enabling compositions that are both surprising and original. Continuing on from the natural communicative power found in the 2020 ‘stage’ at the Botanical Garden in Palermo, Ethimo chooses another iconic garden in Morocco to underline its idea of outdoor living and design linked to the natural world.
Allaperto Bistrò is an Ethimo preview presented during the Salone del mobile in Milan 2023.
Allaperto, the lounge collection spawned by the partnership between Ethimo, Matteo Thun and Antonio Rodriguez, which has become iconic for the different ‘outfits’ with which it interprets the places that host it, continues its transformation in two new moods, Veranda and Nautic, pairing teak, respectively, with natural rattan and rope.
Allaperto Veranda dresses the lounge armchair in rattan, offering an example of the increasingly eco-friendly approach that focuses on the choice of materials with a rather vintage feel. The natural rattan weave is a perfect match for the transitional spaces between indoors and outdoors, such as porticos or verandas. Areas which today, in our everyday lives, become a veritable extension of the comfort offered by our interiors, with an innate ability to surprise, also in contemporary exterior design. The special texture of natural rattan and its sophisticated weave help create a charming “exotic” effect in the semi-open spaces that host this new version of the Allaperto armchair.
Allaperto Nautic, the second new outfit designed with Matteo Thun and Antonio Rodriguez, styles the entire lounge, combining teak with polypropylene rope, a 100% outdoor, recyclable material. The Nautic mood is inspired by the maritime world, and pairs precious teak with an artisan herringbone weave in rope, endowing chairs and sofas with a distinctive personality that boosts the appeal of their slender lines.
The characteristic weave of Veranda and Nautic is entirely hand-made, conveying an authentic sartorial feel and the sense of an artisan crafting process.
For 2021, the Allaperto collection is also enriched by another important new addition: a suspened armchair emblem of an outdoor environment made of lightness, in full harmony with the flexibility of the natural world. The new suspended armchair, also available in the swing version with self-bearing stand, can be personalised in Rattan (Veranda mood), rope (Nautic mood ) or Etwick fibre (Mountain mood), paired with the teak frame that characterises the entire Allaperto collection. Its generous dimensions combine with a solid frame, creating a brand new proposal ideal for “swinging” carefree in the open air in maximum comfort.
Allaperto confirms its identity as a surprising, dynamic collection that reinvents itself according to the latest trends and the context that hosts it, generating a range of different experiences for enjoying outdoor spaces with maximum effect.
