Dezeen Showroom: garden furniture brand Ethimo has launched the outdoor Kilt chair, which features a woven rope seat designed by Marcello Ziliani.

As its name suggests, the Kilt chair is designed to evoke the pleated tartan skirts traditionally worn by men in the Scottish Highlands, Ethimo said.

"Kilt takes its cue from the image of the famous piece of fabric wrapped around the waists of the proud inhabitants of the Highlands," said Ziliani.

"In the same way, the backrest is wrapped around the chair while remaining detached, like a skirt that leaves the knees bare."

The Kilt chair has a deliberately simple, stackable form, intended for use in both residential and commercial settings.

Its frame is available in both teak and aluminium, while its seat and backrest are formed from rope available in various colours.
