Tribù Natal Alu collection

Studio Segers set the seat inside a slim aluminum frame rather than on top of it, so a Natal Alu sofa reads 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.

The lounger and both chairs in the range sit on Batyline instead of a cushion deck. The mesh is tensioned across the frame, so rain passes through instead of sitting in a cushion, and a seat is usable again minutes after a Gulf Coast downpour. 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 reads 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, which is why the seat looks like it floats from the side.
Batyline mesh

Tensioned across the frame on the lounger and chairs. Water and dust fall through instead of collecting.
Powder-coated aluminum frame

Thin section, no rust, light enough to move a module alone.
