Ginko / Patio Basket
by Zanellato/BortottoGinko
Shade takes shape.
Ginko, designed by Zanellato/Bortotto for Ethimo, interprets the concept of shade through a graphic and contemporary design language. A project in which function and aesthetics come together naturally, combining elegant forms with a solution designed to enhance outdoor spaces with personality and lightness.
The canopy features a radial design defined by vertical bands, creating a refined visual rhythm that recalls the geometry of the leaf. The central teak pole supports the structure with natural balance, while the bicolour combinations introduce a distinctive character suited to different settings. Ginko can be complemented by the Patio Basket, a woven container integrated into the base that becomes both functional and decorative—an accessory that enhances the space with seamless continuity.

This moment marked the beginning of their longstanding, constant research into the relationship between places and the passing of time, a connection analysed through the reinterpretation of traditional artisanal techniques.
