About the collection
Tension reduces the outdoor dining table to its essential geometry: a single span of powder-coated steel with a matching bench. The cushion set lifts the bench from spec object into a comfortable communal seat. Stainless fittings, year-round outdoor rating, optional cover.
Designer
Tools Off.Architecture is an Italian studio specialising in architectural product design, working between Milan and Bolzano. The practice operates at the seam between architecture and furniture: pieces designed as built objects rather than upholstered ones, with details borrowed from the construction site rather than the upholstery workshop. The Conmoto Tension family was developed with the studio over an extended prototyping period, with a single continuous span of powder-coated steel reading as the entire architecture. The matching bench was added later in collaboration with the same studio. The cushion-set, also Tools Off.Architecture, softens the geometry without disguising it.

The Tension dining sits within Conmoto's permanent outdoor catalog, a position Conmoto has held as a European specialty outdoor house with established US trade representation. Tension is produced in specialty European outdoor materials matched to the brand's catalog tradition as part of Conmoto's premium European outdoor programme, with the configuration designed by Conmoto's in-house design team.
Conmoto's dining pieces are built around specialty European outdoor materials matched to the brand's catalog tradition. For US trade specifiers, this means Tension carries the same material data sheets and US-trade documentation as the rest of the Conmoto catalog: ASTM F1858 outdoor furniture compliance where applicable, fire-code classification on cushion components, and chain-of-shipment documentation supplied with the invoice. Bespoke fabric or finish substitutions are accepted on COM workflow with confirmed yardage at quote stage; see the Sunbrella and Outdura specifier reference for the workflow at the European factory.
Pricing for Tension at US trade typically falls between on quote at US trade volumes, before fabric grade, finish premium, and consolidated freight. Lead time is 8-14 weeks from European factory to US port for standard configurations; bespoke dimensions, COM upholstery, or large hospitality volumes extend by 4-8 weeks. The collection is specified in US hospitality outdoor (boutique hotel terraces, resort pool decks, restaurant outdoor dining) and in premium residential outdoor (lake-house, pool-house, rooftop terrace) installations.
Standard Tension configurations ship 8-14 weeks from European factory to US port. Bespoke dimensions or COM upholstery add 4-8 weeks. Hospitality projects above 50 pieces consolidate on a single container and follow the same standard timeline.
Yes. Conmoto runs a verified US trade programme. Net trade pricing for Tension is shared after qualification (designer of record, project scope) and is set under the Conmoto non-disclosure agreement applicable to all premium European outdoor specifiers.
Most Conmoto collections, including Tension, accept COM upholstery and bespoke dimensions within manufacturer tolerance. See the FF&E procurement workflow for the full COM and bespoke sequence, including fabric yardage, factory shipping, and lead-time impact.
Premium European outdoor pieces share a common care pattern: quarterly rinse with clean water and mild soap, twice-yearly inspection of cushions and fittings, and off-season storage of soft goods in freeze-thaw climates. Structural elements (aluminum, FSC teak, steel) typically carry 5-10 year warranties; fabrics and cushions 2-3 years against UV and stitching. US service life on European premium outdoor is typically 15-25 years on structural elements and 5-10 years on cushions, with COM refresh extending the cycle. Documentation and warranty registration are supplied with the invoice at the trade tier.
