Key Features

- Precision-Welded Aluminium Frame: The underlying structure is constructed from precision-welded aluminium, providing exceptional structural rigidity, corrosion resistance, and UV stability — ensuring the Kobo Lounge Chair maintains its form and integrity across all demanding outdoor and coastal environments without compromising its refined silhouette.
- Generous Cocoon Lounge Proportions: Measuring 114cm width × 105cm depth with a deep, enveloping seat profile, the Kobo Lounge Chair delivers an expansive lounge surface that encourages deep relaxation — a signature characteristic of the Kobo collection's philosophy of immersive outdoor comfort and considered Belgian design.

Frame & Rope Options
Deep Architectural Presence: The deep charcoal Anthracite 45mm rope hand-woven over the precision-welded aluminium frame creates a bold, architecturally considered statement of dramatic visual depth and tactile richness — where the tightly woven rope surface catches light in layers of dark dimension. The Anthracite finish pairs effortlessly with the full range of eleven cushion combinations, from warm earthy tones that contrast richly against the dark rope to cool neutral palettes that play into its dramatic depth. The definitive Kobo expression for contemporary hotel pool lounges, upscale resort terraces, and avant-garde residential outdoor living spaces.
Warm Organic Richness: The warm mid-brown Pepper 45mm rope hand-woven over the precision-welded aluminium frame delivers a naturally organic warmth and earthy presence — echoing the warm tones of natural materials such as dried grasses, woven rattan, and sun-bleached organic fibres. The Pepper rope finish creates an especially harmonious pairing with the warm sandy and earthy cushion combinations — Ginger Sand, Sultan Dune, Lotus Vanilla, and Sepia FR — while lending a naturally welcoming character to the Kobo's cocoon silhouette that suits relaxed residential pool terraces, boutique eco-resort lounge settings, and countryside estate outdoor living environments.
Cushion Combination Options
Dress the Kobo Lounge Chair with a coordinated Seat & Back Cushion paired with a contrasting Throw Pillow. Choose from 11 curated combinations in weather-resistant fabrics with UV protection, quick-dry foam, and removable washable covers.
Each combination: Seat & Back Cushion + Throw Pillow. Available with Regular Back Cushions or High Back Cushions — see cushion style options below. Gold header indicates a Manutti-recommended pairing.
Soft Lotus Vanilla seat cushions with warm Cottage Terra accent pillows create a light, luminous neutral-to-earthy presentation that plays beautifully against the deep woven texture of both Anthracite and Pepper rope frames — the clean vanilla tone envelops the cocoon form in fresh, airy restraint while the Cottage Terra pillow introduces warm terracotta depth, ideal for Mediterranean villa pool terraces and elegant garden lounge settings of refined Belgian craftsmanship.
Deep Toscana FR seat cushions with rich Kalahari FR accent pillows deliver sophisticated fire-retardant earthy warmth that resonates organically with the hand-woven rope texture of both frame finishes — ideal for flagship commercial hospitality pool lounge settings, boutique resort courtyards, and superyacht deck environments where FR certification is required alongside deeply considered natural material design and outstanding outdoor durability.
Warm Sultan Dune seat cushions with fresh Tulum accent pillows blend sandy dune warmth with organic green-blue botanical tones — creating a quietly biophilic contrast that harmonises beautifully with the woven rope texture of the Pepper frame in particular, while providing a sunlit warmth counterpoint against the Anthracite frame. Ideal for garden terrace lounge configurations, eco-resort pool areas, and countryside estate outdoor living spaces where natural material design is paramount.
Manutti's recommended pairing — cool mist-toned Nebbia FR seat cushions with vibrant Aruba FR accent pillows create the definitive Kobo coastal lounge statement of refreshing contrast and visual energy. The mist-grey Nebbia provides a composed, cool backdrop that allows the vivid Aruba FR pillow to deliver a striking focal point against the deep Anthracite or warm Pepper rope frame — an outstanding fully FR-compliant combination for large-scale seaside resort settings, flagship hotel pool lounges, and superyacht deck environments.
Neutral Tulum seat cushions with vibrant Aruba FR accent pillows bring fresh tropical coastal energy to the Kobo cocoon lounge chair — the Tulum's composed, natural-toned seat creates a relaxed organic backdrop that allows the Aruba FR pillow to provide a vivid, jewel-like focal point within the deep woven rope frame, ideal for island resort pool lounges, boutique coastal hotel terraces, and residential pool decks seeking a lively outdoor lounge accent of exceptional Belgian craftsmanship.
Rich warm Sepia FR seat cushions with calming Soft Sage accent pillows create an earthy botanical contrast of deep warmth and fresh organic green that resonates naturally with the hand-woven rope texture of both Anthracite and Pepper Kobo frames — a fully FR-compliant pairing of exceptional depth ideal for garden terrace lounge settings, biophilic luxury outdoor destinations, and countryside estate lounge environments where the Sage pillow introduces a living botanical note against the deep woven cocoon form.
Cool stone-grey Sultan Stone seat cushions with soft Mink Ragdoll accent pillows create an understated luxurious tonal palette within the Kobo cocoon form — where the stone-cool cushion surface creates a composed, quietly sophisticated backdrop that lets the woven rope texture of the Anthracite frame define the spatial character, while the soft mink pillow introduces a gentle warm note of refined restraint. Ideal for minimalist contemporary outdoor lounge settings and Scandinavian-inspired terraces of exceptional Belgian craftsmanship.
Soft Seal seat cushions with warm Soft Fawn accent pillows create gentle tonal harmony in muted natural tones that envelop the Kobo cocoon form in quiet, considered elegance — the Seal's cool-neutral base and the Fawn's warm accent together deliver a seamlessly understated presentation that allows the hand-woven rope texture and sweeping curved silhouette of the Kobo frame to remain the primary design statement. Beautifully suited to grand villa terraces and quietly luxurious outdoor lounge spaces.
Manutti's second recommended pairing — rich warm Sepia FR seat cushions with fresh natural Tulum accent pillows create a deeply considered earthy-botanical combination of warmth and organic freshness that resonates perfectly with the hand-woven rope character of the Kobo frame in both Anthracite and Pepper finishes. The Sepia's warm depth envelops the cocoon form while the Tulum pillow introduces a composed botanical note of natural vitality — the quintessential Kobo pairing for residential pool terraces, boutique hotel lounge courtyards, and resort outdoor living spaces of exceptional Belgian craftsmanship.
Rich warm Sepia FR seat cushions with the sun-baked terracotta depth of Cottage Terra accent pillows create a fully cohesive palette of warm earth tones that intensifies the organic warmth of both the Pepper and Anthracite rope frames — a deeply FR-compliant earthy combination for boutique hotel pool lounge settings, residential courtyard terraces, and countryside estate outdoor rooms where warm terracotta and sepia tones define an authentically grounded outdoor lounge aesthetic of exceptional Belgian craftsmanship.
Warm sandy Ginger Sand seat cushions paired with rich Copper Dust accent pillows create a sumptuous warm desert palette of golden sand and burnished copper tones that harmonises magnificently with the Pepper rope frame — while creating a striking warm contrast against the deep Anthracite. The layered warmth of Ginger Sand and Copper Dust envelops the Kobo cocoon form in a desert-luxe aesthetic ideal for sun-drenched pool terraces, villa lounge gardens, and upscale resort outdoor lounge settings of outstanding Belgian craftsmanship.
Cushion Styles
All 11 cushion combinations above are available in two distinct back cushion heights — choose the profile that best suits your Kobo lounge configuration and comfort preference.
① Regular Back Cushions
The Regular Back Cushion option delivers a classic, open lounge profile at 67cm overall height — where the back cushion sits at a composed 50cm height that provides relaxed lumbar support while preserving the visual openness of the Kobo's cocoon-form silhouette. The Regular Back creates an inviting, accessible lounge aesthetic with a broad horizon view across the outdoor space — ideal for pool terraces and garden lounge settings where the architectural presence of the woven rope frame and the expansive outdoor landscape are equally celebrated.

The High Back Cushion option elevates the overall height to 78cm — adding 11cm of additional back cushion height for enhanced lumbar, shoulder, and upper back support that fully envelops the occupant within the Kobo cocoon form. The High Back creates a more enclosed, private lounge sanctuary aesthetic where the elevated back cushion reinforces the cocoon character of the Kobo's woven rope structure — ideal for extended outdoor lounging, spa terrace environments, and superyacht deck lounge settings where deep personal comfort and a sense of private refuge are paramount.
