Monica Armani kept Nomad short: a lounge chair, a chair and a pouf. It is a collection for one corner of a terrace.
The collection
Nomad in one paragraph
Three pieces, three jobs. The lounge chair is the one you sit back in with a book, the chair keeps a straighter back for a table or a rail view, and the pouf moves: a footrest when the chair is occupied, a seat when someone else arrives, out of the way the rest of the time. On a 10-by-14 balcony that combination leaves room to walk.
Tribù has been building outdoor furniture in Belgium since 1966 and is still run by the founding family, now in its third generation. We work from Miami on Eastern time and ship to any US address. Ask about freight in the same message as the quote, and we price delivery to your address together with the pieces.
Tribù publishes very little about how Nomad is built. Rather than guess at frame material and finish here, we send the current spec sheet with the quote, along with the fabric range and lead time. Ask for it by collection name and we will include the pieces you are weighing up.
Placement matters more with a small collection because there is nowhere to hide a mistake. Under a covered loggia in Charleston the pieces stay dry and the cushions last; in Phoenix, lighter fabrics stay cooler against bare legs in July; on a coastal deck, rinse the frames with fresh water every few weeks and take the cushions in for winter.

How a Nomad piece is layered
-
Outdoor fabric cover
Tribù fabrics. Ask for swatches and judge them outdoors, in the light they will live in.
-
Cushion
Supplied with the seating pieces. Stand cushions on edge to dry instead of leaving them flat under a cover.
-
Frame
Carries the seat. Material and finish are on the spec sheet we send with the quote.
-
Feet and deck
Anything that stands outdoors shifts with the boards. Check the footing at the start of each season.
