AMANU, the latest collection from Tribu designed by Yabu Pushelberg, represents a timeless expression of everyday leisure.
Amanu has undergone a process of refinement and simplification, carefully crafted over time to remove any unnecessary or complex elements, achieving a design that is pure and tranquil.
In exploring the enduring beauty of teak, Yabu Pushelberg created a dining table, dining chair, and lounge chair for this timeless and transitional collection, emphasising comfort and sustainability.
Amanu’s dining and lounge chairs feature hemp-based sling seats, giving them a captivating floating appearance, and the subtle tapered legs add grace. The cushions feature a cover made from laminated, water-repellent polypropylene material that effectively blocks water penetration. The thread used for stitching the seams swells when wet, creating an additional barrier against water seepage. Furthermore, the seams are internally protected with an extra layer. In the rare event that water manages to seep through, the material is breathable, allowing moisture to escape and preventing mould growth.
The dining table has been designed to symbolise togetherness. The ceramic tiles appear to float gracefully atop a minimalist teak frame, with the gentle curvature of the teak profiles and ceramic tiles imbuing an air of softness and harmony. Available in two lengths, 290 and 350, this dining table is ideal for accommodating larger groups.
The teak used in this collection is responsibly sourced from well-managed plantations in East Java, renowned for their sustainable teak production. Teak is the ideal choice of material as it is highly durable and requires minimal maintenance.
You can choose to treat the wood with a Teak sealer, which contains UV protection to slow down the silvering process. This will help maintain a rich, warm appearance for longer, and a simple cleaning with water and a pH-neutral soap will suffice for many years. While the naturally silver tone is a popular choice for achieving a relaxed Australian outdoor aesthetic, you can simply refinish the table if you decide you want to refresh warm tones.
With its soft tones and modern aesthetic, Amanu is a versatile collection that seamlessly complements both contemporary and classic styles. Amanu offers indoor luxury while being designed to withstand all elements, including the harsh Australian sun.
This exclusive collection is available at any Cosh Living showroom in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and Perth.
