About the collection

Elio

The 2025 ELIO collection redefines outdoor lounging with new sofas, daybeds, and poufs. Soft curves and low profiles echo water-smoothed pebbles, merging comfort with modern elegance. Modular back and armrests offer endless possibilities, creating a relaxed yet refined outdoor living experience.

Designer

Tribù Studio

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, Yabu Pushelberg, Andrei Munteanu) extend it without diluting the construction principle. Elio is the studio's 2025 lounge family, with a modular back-and-arm system that adapts to the long terrace and the close-quarters poolside in the same idiom.

About the Elio collection by Tribù

The Elio lounge sits within Tribù's permanent outdoor catalog, a position Tribù has held as a European specialty outdoor house with established US trade representation. Elio is produced in specialty European outdoor materials matched to the brand's catalog tradition as part of Tribù's premium European outdoor programme, with the configuration designed by Tribù's in-house design team.

Material and construction notes

Tribù's lounge pieces are built around specialty European outdoor materials matched to the brand's catalog tradition. For US trade specifiers, this means Elio carries the same material data sheets and US-trade documentation as the rest of the Tribù 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.

Specifying Elio in US trade projects

Pricing for Elio 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.

Frequently asked specifier questions

What is the lead time for Elio?

Standard Elio 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.

Is the Tribù Elio collection covered by trade pricing?

Yes. Tribù runs a verified US trade programme. Net trade pricing for Elio 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.

Can Elio be specified with COM fabric or bespoke dimensions?

Most Tribù collections, including Elio, 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.

Care, warranty, and US service life

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.
