Notes from the Miami desk
Terrace notes from Tribù
We write up the questions US buyers send us about Tribù: how to size a terrace, which weave suits a coast, what the label on a cushion means. A new story goes up each Tuesday.
Stories
Fresh off the terrace
Newest first. Each story names one or two Tribù collections and ends with a pricing form.
Rope outdoor furniture, weave by weave
November 10, 2026. Rope outdoor furniture dries minutes after rain, where a solid seat stays wet for the afternoon. This guide covers the weaves Tribù uses and how to keep them clean, on CTR and Suro.
Teak outdoor furniture, grey or oiled
November 3, 2026. Teak left outside turns silver-grey, and teak oiled twice a year stays honey brown. Both last the same. This guide covers the choice and the care, on two Tribù collections.
Photos of your terrace for a quote
October 27, 2026. Four photos and a tape measure tell us more about your terrace than a long email. This guide covers the shots that help us plan a space with Tribù Lucca or Pure.
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.
Designer outdoor furniture at Tribù
October 13, 2026. Tribù keeps no in-house design studio. Each collection goes to an outside designer, and the name stays on the drawing. This guide reads two results: Nagomi and Branch.
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.
Aluminum patio furniture, explained
September 29, 2026. Aluminum patio furniture shrugs off humidity, salt and dry heat, and it asks for no oil. This guide shows how two Tribù collections use the metal and how to keep the finish in good shape.
Drawing a patio set from the floor up
September 27, 2026. A patio furniture set works once you draw the terrace before you pick the chairs. This guide covers measuring, zoning and filling the plan from one Tribù family.
What luxury outdoor furniture buys you
September 27, 2026. Luxury outdoor furniture earns its price in places a photo hides: the wood, the frame, the cushion and the care. This guide reads them on two Tribù collections.
