About the collection
Sandua is Robin Hapelt's woven-shell lounge programme for Manutti. The shell is hand-bound around a marine-grade frame and settled onto a sculpted teak base, with a powder-coated aluminum variant for poolside and coastal exposure. Three configurations across the family — a tall high-back armchair in teak scuro / anthracite, a standard-height lounge in Dicord anthracite, and the aluminum-base variant in lava / anthracite — all share Manutti's removable cushion programme on Sunbrella weaves.
Designer
Belgian designer working between Antwerp and Olen. Robin Hapelt's Sandua programme for Manutti reads as an exercise in shell-on-base craft: the woven envelope is loose enough to drape, the teak base is heavy enough to ground it. Sandua is one of Manutti's most sculptural lounge programmes.

The Sandua lounge sits within Manutti's permanent outdoor catalog, a position Manutti has held as a European specialty outdoor house with established US trade representation. Sandua is produced in specialty European outdoor materials matched to the brand's catalog tradition as part of Manutti's premium European outdoor programme, with the configuration designed by Manutti's in-house design team.
Manutti's lounge pieces are built around specialty European outdoor materials matched to the brand's catalog tradition. For US trade specifiers, this means Sandua carries the same material data sheets and US-trade documentation as the rest of the Manutti 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 Sandua 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 Sandua 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. Manutti runs a verified US trade programme. Net trade pricing for Sandua is shared after qualification (designer of record, project scope) and is set under the Manutti non-disclosure agreement applicable to all premium European outdoor specifiers.
Most Manutti collections, including Sandua, 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.
