Elio
A tribute to light
Inspired by the Greek sun god Helios and designed by Yabu Pushelberg, the Elio collection captures the ephemeral beauty of sunset. It translates the movement and warmth of twilight into sculptural forms, soft textures, and a palette of delicate, nature-inspired tones. Elio embraces the outdoor space as a sanctuary—an intimate and tactile experience under open skies.
Key Features
Sculptural, cocoon-like silhouette
Elio’s curved backrests and inward-sloping forms create an enveloping, protective seating experience, offering both visual elegance and physical comfort.
Handwoven Tricord® finish
Using ancient weaving techniques adapted to modern needs, each seat is handwoven in Tricord®—a unique material developed exclusively by Tribù. It offers a soft, natural touch while being UV-resistant, water-repellent, and highly durable.
Refined degradé colour effect
By blending multiple yarn colors into one strand, the Tricord® weave exhibits a soft degradé effect. This gradient look mirrors the shifting tones of twilight and makes each piece truly one of a kind.
Sustainable natural teak frame
Crafted from plantation-grown teak from East Java, the solid wood frame is designed to age gracefully outdoors. The rear legs cross beneath the seat for a distinctive architectural detail.
Available in Three tones
The Tricord® weave comes in:
- Linen : a soft, natural off-white
- Wengé : a rich, earthy brown
- Moss : a deep, muted green
These hues pair beautifully with the warm tones of teak wood.
