Studio Segers set the seat inside a slim aluminum frame instead of on top of it, so a Natal Alu sofa shows as a line and a shadow. Tribù names it as its bestselling collection.
The collection
Natal Alu in one paragraph
The frames are powder-coated aluminum in two colors. Aluminum does not rust, which settles the question on a Florida lanai or a dock in Maine, and it stays light enough that one person can pull a sofa module back from the rail before a storm.
Tribù also makes a Natal Alu lounger, lounge chair and outdoor chair on Batyline seats instead of a cushion deck. They are not in the piece list on this page, so name them in your request if you want them quoted. The mesh is tensioned across the aluminum frame and rain runs through it. Within a mile of the ocean, hose the salt off the mesh and the frame every few weeks.
The sofa is built from 13 modules. That covers a straight bench along a parapet wall, an L around a fire table, or a U on a wide pool deck, and the 1-seat sofa gives you a loose chair in the same profile. The meridienne takes a corner, and the X-table sits low in front of the seating rather than between it.
Over 100 outdoor fabrics are offered against the two frame colors. Order swatches and look at them outside before you commit: a gray that looks warm under a showroom light can turn blue under an open sky. Pricing on request.

How a Natal Alu piece is layered
-
Outdoor fabric cover
Over 100 fabrics against two frame colors. Samples go out on request.
-
Seat cushion
Sits down inside the frame line, so the seat looks like it floats from the side.
-
Batyline mesh
Tensioned across the frame on the Natal Alu lounger, lounge chair and outdoor chair. Water and dust fall through instead of collecting.
-
Powder-coated aluminum frame
Thin section, no rust, light enough to move a module alone.
