Ethimo is an Italian premium outdoor furniture brand, founded in 2009 in Vitorchiano (Province of Viterbo, on the border between Lazio and Tuscany) — on the grounds of the Centro Botanico Moutan, a 14-hectare botanical park established in 1993 by Carlo Confidati — founder of Unopiù, one of Italy's first outdoor furniture companies — which houses the world's largest peony collection with over 200,000 specimens and 600 varieties. The connection to this exceptional natural location shapes the brand's identity to this day: Ethimo understands outdoor furniture as an expression of a deep affinity for nature and landscape. CEO is Gian Paolo Migliaccio. The founders were able to draw on over 40 years of cumulative professional experience in the outdoor sector. The company has held FSC certification (Forest Stewardship Council) since 2016 and since 2021 has operated its main plant with a photovoltaic installation covering 90% of energy needs. Today Ethimo is represented in over 70 countries.
