The Rafael sunbed by Ethimo interprets outdoor relaxation with a free, material, and profoundly contemporary language. Its deconstructed, almost tribal shape expresses the soul of the entire collection: organic volumes, irregular profiles, and a dimensional rhythm that lends movement and visual openness, making the overall effect dynamic and airy. A piece of furniture designed for those who want to create continuity between indoors and outdoors through a distinctive, warm, and sophisticated aesthetic. The absolute protagonist is teak, crafted with artisanal care in a brushed or pickled finish: a noble wood that defines the sunbed's profiles and enhances its natural character, without sacrificing solidity. The metal clips become a detail of style and authenticity, a deliberately "handmade" sign that makes each piece even more expressive. To complete the experience, the large mattress welcomes the body with a pleasant cocooning effect: soft, generous, designed to transform every moment in the sun into a gesture of well-being. Rafael is a collection by Paola Navone, in which the sophistication of the materials dialogues with a refined and sensorial textile palette. The mattress cover is available in selected outdoor fabrics, capable of enhancing the shades and textures of the padding while maintaining high outdoor performance. Like all the pieces in the line, the Rafael sunbed can be the standout piece or matched with other pieces in the collection, creating coherent and distinctive settings.
