Ethimo’s Vista is a dining armchair in lightweight aluminum, designed by Christophe Pillet. The geometry comes out of Pillet’s earlier work for the brand, reinterpreted with less ceremony. Thin tube, low back, cushions that sit inside the structure rather than on top of it.

The restraint is deliberate. An outdoor dining chair that stays out of the way is a chair you can specify in volume: a courtyard, a terrace, a long hotel table, without the room turning into a showroom floor.

Then Ethimo hands over the color. More than twenty finishes, matte or glossy, plus a fabric range wide enough to make the same chair read differently in a Mediterranean garden than on an amenity deck. Glossy khaki against olive leaves is one answer. There are plenty of others.

The lineage shows next to Lodge, the lounge collection Vista borrows from. Same polished tube, same trick of looking almost suspended. Vista just does it at table height.

Light enough to move. Comfortable enough to keep people seated. Pull it up, sit down, look out.
