Mission

Giving added value to multifamily housing contexts through a suprisingly versatile and accessible furniture range, all made in Italy.

Vision

Make the Ethra brand known and recognizable as the ideal synthesis of Italian creativity and international lifestyles.

History

Our story begins more than 40 years ago, when internationally oriented entrepreneur Giulio Pedicone decided to start producing office furniture to better address the needs of the market. More than that, he understood and felt that introducing wood instead of “cold” metal as a new market standard would have made a difference.

Over time, our company developed a strong industrial know-how and implemented different projects, born to generate synergy effects. The latest project is Ethra, a new division created for the production and manufacturing of modern kitchen and bathroom cabinets, dedicated to the various “multifamily” international segments, with special attention to the U.S

Beyond solutions

Going beyond solutions, thinking about them, proposing them and always looking for new ones, with the aim of meeting the needs of various clients: this is the primary reason why to choose Ethra.

1

Extreme flexibility.
Making of furniture according to specific techniques, meeting client needs in terms of materials, function and dimension. The boxes for instance, have a 1/3 inch back panel for more resistance and robustness. However, the 1/6 solution is also possible.
What’s more, the cases are made of melamine, but the use of alternative materials such as blockboard, multilayered, MDF and Marine plywood is not a limitation. The same is for the top of the bases.
The kitchens are delivered assembled, however the kit solution is certainly possible.

2

Customization.
It’s possible to:
• customize holes to enable use of different kinds of hardware from the best producers;
• customize the materials and respective finishes;
• apply specific lighting systems;
• make special manufacturing;
• create new products and make the respective shop drawings and prototypes.

3

Respondance to the needs of the American market.
• ADA compliant products;
• shelves with 20% more storage space compared to European standards;
