Manutti: Redefining Luxury Outdoor Living

When Belgian design excellence meets outdoor living, magic happens. This distinguished brand emerged from a passion for elevating alfresco environments to the same design standard as interior spaces. Their philosophy is refreshingly straightforward: outdoor furniture should be as beautiful as it is durable.

What distinguishes these collections is their remarkable ability to bridge traditional craftsmanship with contemporary innovation. Each piece undergoes rigorous testing against UV exposure, salt air, and temperature fluctuations—essential considerations for British gardens that experience all four seasons, often in a single afternoon.

The brand's founder, Stephane De Winter, remains closely involved with design direction, ensuring each collection maintains the signature aesthetic that has earned global recognition. Their in-house design team collaborates with renowned talents like Lionel Doyen and Gerd Couckhuyt, whose vision for outdoor living has redefined expectations.

Material selection reveals the true luxury proposition. Premium teak harvested from sustainable plantations develops a distinguished silver patina over time. Powder-coated aluminium frames provide structural integrity without visual heaviness. Their proprietary textiles—developed in collaboration with European textile innovators—offer remarkable resistance to fading while maintaining a sumptuous hand-feel.

For London homes with garden spaces, balconies or roof terraces, these collections provide sophisticated solutions that extend living space beyond walls. The modular nature of many collections allows for configurations suited to compact city gardens and expansive country estates alike.

The craftsmanship reveals itself in subtle details—the precision of joinery, the thoughtful ergonomics, and the way each piece sits in harmonious dialogue with its environment. Nothing feels ostentatious; rather, there's a quiet confidence to the design language that speaks of understated European luxury.

Their latest collections showcase innovative materials like ceramic tabletops—remarkably resistant to thermal shock and scratching—and new textiles that repel water while maintaining breathability. For clients seeking customisation, options abound with extensive fabric libraries and finish variations.
