MANU MATTERS

MANU MATTERS
Cover image missing

MANU builds object-to-human relationships. Their objects are all ‘characters’ to live alongside — not bought and sold, but adopted. Working across waste streams, the material becomes both the starting point and the guide, allowing its limitations to shape the design of each object. They craft objects from PET bottles, lemon peels, or sand — depending on what’s available around them. MANU believes this philosophy can help us rediscover the value of finite raw materials, encouraging more respect and care for the objects we live with.

Step inside the Future of Craft in MANU's Micro Factory and meet the latest addition to the MANU family.

Since 1966, Tribù has grown from a family tradition into a global presence, guided by the care for quality, comfort, and craftsmanship. Early on, the Belgian brand revealed teak as more than strong, introducing elegance and warmth to outdoor spaces. That vision shapes every design today. Behind its calm aesthetics lies a pursuit for performance. Materials are chosen for the way they age, fabrics are developed to endure, and advanced techniques ensure lasting comfort. Present in 90 countries, Tribù works closely with renowned designers and high–end hospitality partners. From its Belgian headquarters to the flagship showrooms in LA and Milano, Tribù creates spaces that feel connected to nature, to the moment, and the people who share them.
