The ELO Collection Is Inspired by Gymnastics Equipment

Brazilian designer Filipe Ramos, who relies upon sophisticated textures and elegant colors in his creations, has teamed up with outdoor furniture manufacturing company Lovato Moveis in the ELO collection.

I have in mind that everything that I touch has to be transformed into something better.

This is the first collaborative collection between Ramos and Lovato Moveis, with the ELO chair being the first piece, designed to provide a stretch for your back similar to gymnastics equipment. Underneath the seat you’ll find storage that can be used to keep things such as books, towels, or sunglasses. Add a touch of warmth by opting for the available wooden armrests. Other pieces within the ELO collection include a chaise, a footrest or ottoman, and a smaller footrest or bench. Each frame is built with aluminum tubing that’s been powder coated, while the seat and back are made of naval cord.
