Yabu Pushelberg drew Elio low and round, with the edges worn back the way water rounds a stone. It arrived in 2025 as ten pieces, all of them for sitting or lying down.
The collection
Elio in one paragraph
There is not a hard corner in the collection. A woven shell wraps the outside of each rounded frame, and the cushions drop down inside it instead of sitting on top, so a three-seat sofa keeps one continuous curve instead of three boxes in a row. Teak carries the lounge chairs at the legs.
You place the backs and armrests; the factory does not fix them. The same sofa can hold a back along its full length, open at one end into a chaise, or run without arms against a wall, which is how a long terrace gets one piece of furniture instead of three.
Ten pieces. Lounge chairs in two back heights, an armchair, a footstool, sofas at one, two and three seats, a daybed, a pouf and the modular sofa itself. Nothing here is a table, so the low table in front of an Elio sofa comes from another Tribù collection.
Deep cushions are the maintenance item. Quick-dry foam pushes water out through the base, and it works faster if you stand cushions on edge after a storm instead of leaving them flat. Covers come off and wash at 30 °C; the woven shell takes a soft brush and soapy water. In full Arizona sun a lighter cover stays cooler to sit down on than a dark one.

How a Elio piece is layered
-
Solution-dyed acrylic cover
Color is fixed in the fiber before it is spun, so sun fades it slowly and across the whole cushion at once.
-
Quick-dry foam
Open-cell core that pushes water out through the base. Stand the cushion on edge and it clears faster.
-
Hand-woven shell
The woven skin around the outside of the frame. It holds the cushions in place and drains in minutes.
-
Frame and teak legs
The rounded structure under the weave, standing on teak. Oil the wood twice a year or let it grey.

Notes from the terrace
01
Outdoor lounge furniture, low and deep
October 20, 2026. Outdoor lounge furniture should hold you for a whole evening. This guide looks at seat depth, backs and layout on two Tribù collections by Yabu Pushelberg.
02
Patio furniture covers, used well
October 6, 2026. A patio furniture cover keeps pollen and leaves off a frame, and it can also trap water in a cushion for a week. This guide sorts out which Tribù pieces want a cover and which want air.
