Description
The Sandua Outdoor Lounge Chair – Alu by Manutti is a low-slung, deeply relaxed outdoor lounge seat — where a powder-coated aluminium (PCA) frame in Lava or Flint cradles the same organically shaped, handwoven Dicord® shell that defines the Sandua collection. Designed by Robin Hapelt, the Alu lounge variant delivers the Sandua's signature combination of flat HDPE wicker and rope — woven using traditional Southeast Asian techniques — in a frame of pure outdoor aluminium, offering the corrosion resistance and structural permanence of PCA alongside the warmth and tactile richness of handwoven Dicord®. With generous lounge proportions (34.3" wide, 33.5" deep, 12.6" seat height), plush weather-resistant cushions available across 58 premium outdoor fabrics, and zero-maintenance PCA durability, the Sandua Lounge Chair – Alu invites effortless, unhurried relaxation on any residential terrace, resort pool deck, or upscale hospitality setting requiring artisanal character with engineering permanence.
Key Features
- Powder-Coated Aluminium (PCA) Frame: Available in Lava (warm mid-tone charcoal) or Flint (refined cool silver-grey) — precision-engineered from high-grade aluminium with a durable powder-coat finish delivering exceptional corrosion resistance, UV stability, and structural rigidity for intensive outdoor use in residential, commercial hospitality, and marine environments without any maintenance requirement.
- Handwoven Dicord® Shell: The organically shaped low-profile shell combines flat HDPE wicker and rope in Anthracite (paired with Lava) or Pepper (paired with Flint) — handwoven using traditional Southeast Asian techniques adapted for modern outdoor luxury. UV and weather-resistant, the Dicord® shell maintains its structural integrity and visual richness across all climate conditions.
- Low Lounge Proportions: At 12.6" seat height, 34.3" width, and 33.5" depth, the Sandua Lounge Chair – Alu delivers a deeply relaxed, unhurried lounge posture — ideal for pool terraces, sunken garden seating areas, and resort-style outdoor living spaces of generous, leisurely scale.
- Designer Artisanship: Created by Robin Hapelt as an ode to true craftsmanship — where the cool precision of powder-coated aluminium and the warm handwoven character of Dicord® combine in perfect material contrast, delivering a modern take on traditional weaving in a rigorously outdoor-engineered low lounge form.
- Opulent Cushions: Plush, weather-resistant seat and back cushions in 58 premium outdoor fabrics across Categories A, B, and C deliver maximum lounge comfort, with full FR (fire retardant) options available across the range for commercial and hospitality applications.
- Adjustable Feet: Precision-engineered adjustable feet provide stable, level positioning on slightly uneven outdoor surfaces — stone patios, timber decks, pool terraces — protecting both the frame and flooring throughout daily use.
- Protective Cover Available: An optional weather-resistant cover is available to shield the Sandua Lounge Chair – Alu from outdoor elements during harsh weather or off-season storage, extending its visual appearance and finish year after year.

Materials & Comfort
Lounge Chair Construction
Deep Lounge Proportions: 34.3" width, 33.5" depth, 28.8" overall height with a low 12.6" seat height create an unhurried, deeply relaxed lounge posture — the handwoven Dicord® shell cradled in a precision powder-coated aluminium frame delivers the structural permanence of PCA with the warmth and visual richness of artisanal weaving suited to pool terraces, resort decks, and sunken garden living areas.
The organically shaped Dicord® shell creates a modern take on traditional Southeast Asian weaving techniques — combining flat HDPE wicker and rope for unmatched tactile depth and exceptional lounge comfort in an Alu frame built for decades of outdoor use.
Outdoor Performance
Dicord® Innovation: The unique handwoven combination of flat HDPE wicker and rope is UV-resistant, weather-resistant, and structurally stable — maintaining its visual richness and material integrity across all outdoor conditions without fading, deformation, or maintenance requirement.
PCA Aluminium Durability: The powder-coated aluminium frame in Lava or Flint delivers complete corrosion resistance, UV stability, and structural permanence — suited to poolside, coastal, marine, and high-humidity environments without any surface preparation or seasonal treatment.
Usage & Care
Versatile Applications
Outdoor Lounge Excellence: Perfectly suited to pool terraces, resort lounge areas, sunken garden seating, covered patios, and upscale hospitality settings requiring sophisticated low-profile seating of enduring artisanal character — the PCA frame ensuring structural permanence in all outdoor environments.
Adjustable Stability: Features adjustable feet to ensure level, stable positioning on stone patios, wooden decks, pool terraces, and slightly uneven outdoor surfaces — maintaining consistent lounge comfort and frame alignment throughout use.

Weather Protection: Plush cushions feature removable, washable covers. An optional protective cover is available for extended outdoor protection during off-seasons and harsh weather conditions — protecting both the PCA frame and Dicord® shell.
