Tribù Pure collection

The collection

Pure in one paragraph

The armchair is the sofa cut to one seat, same height, same shoulder, same arm. That is why a group of one sofa and two armchairs looks like a single piece of design rather than a set assembled from parts. On a narrow Brooklyn roof terrace, two armchairs instead of a second sofa leave a walking lane along the parapet, and the pieces still line up visually.

The rest of the family fills a pool deck. There is a 2-seat sofa and a larger sofa for the main group, a lounger shown with wheels at one end so it rolls from shade to sun without two people lifting it, and a cabana that brings its own roof. In Phoenix or Palm Springs, a cabana solves more than another umbrella does, because the shade stays put when the afternoon wind comes up.

Three design sources sit behind one name — Andrei Munteanu, Studio Segers and Tribù Studio — and Tribù treats Pure as a long-running family rather than a seasonal drop. In practice that means a piece added in three years is likely to line up with what you bought this season, which is the reason to start with a sofa and grow the group instead of buying the whole deck at once.

Order fabric swatches and look at them outdoors against your stone or decking before you decide. Take cushions inside for winter, rinse frames with fresh water if you are near salt air, and let the cabana canopy dry before it goes away. Everything here is quoted on request, and the Beverly Boulevard flagship in Los Angeles is the place to sit in the armchair before you commit.
