About the collection
Designed by Monica Armani, the Cesta collection showcases timeless elegance and innovative design for outdoor spaces, led by its sculptural swivel lounge chair.
Designer
Cesta was designed for Tribù by Monica Armani. Tribù was founded in 1995 in Vrasene, between Antwerp and the Belgian coast, on the conviction that outdoor furniture should be developed end-to-end in one workshop, by people who answer for every prototype. The in-house studio still works that way: every prototype passes through the saltwater stress rig, every weave is hand-bound by a single craftsman start to finish, every frame is welded on the same floor as it is wrapped. The Tribù vocabulary — three-strand polyester tricord on teak and powder-coated aluminum — is the studio's authored language; collaborations with named designers (Piergiorgio Cazzaniga, Monica Armani, Studio Segers, Christophe Delcourt) extend it without diluting the construction principle.

The Cesta lounge sits within Tribù's permanent outdoor catalog, a position Tribù holds as a Belgian specialty outdoor house with established US trade representation. Designed by Monica Armani, the Cesta collection showcases timeless elegance and innovative design for outdoor spaces, led by its sculptural swivel lounge chair.
Tribù's pieces are built around the house vocabulary of three-strand polyester tricord on FSC teak and powder-coated aluminum, each collection passed through the saltwater stress rig before catalog release. For US trade specifiers, Cesta carries the same material data sheets and US-trade documentation as the rest of the Tribù catalog: ASTM F1858 outdoor 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 a COM workflow with confirmed yardage at quote stage; see the Sunbrella and Outdura specifier reference for the workflow at the Belgian factory.
Pricing for Cesta is on quote at US trade volumes, before fabric grade, finish premium and consolidated freight. Lead time is 8-14 weeks from the Belgian factory to US port for standard configurations; bespoke dimensions, COM upholstery or large hospitality volumes extend by 4-8 weeks. The collection is specified across US hospitality outdoor (boutique hotel terraces, resort pool decks, restaurant terraces) and premium residential outdoor (lake-house, pool-house, rooftop terrace) installations.
Standard Cesta configurations ship 8-14 weeks from the Belgian 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. Tribù runs a verified US trade programme. Net trade pricing for Cesta is shared after qualification (designer of record, project scope) and is set under the Tribù non-disclosure agreement applicable to all premium European outdoor specifiers.
Most Tribù collections, including Cesta, 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.
Tribù 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) typically carry 5-10 year warranties; cushions and fabrics 2-3 years against UV and stitching. US service life 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.
