Luce – Order and lightness in aluminum and rope
The Luce collection by Unopiù is a versatile outdoor system that combines dining and lounge in a uniform material palette. Aluminum and rope weaving – this combination defines the entire series and gives it a clear, understated elegance. Luce is not a collection that stands out. It is one that endures.
The rope is made of polyolefin and is woven by hand around the aluminum frame. The result is a surface that evokes artisanal care and is UV- and weather-resistant, according to the manufacturer.
Design and formal language
Luce uses simple, precise forms. The frame consists of slender aluminum tube profiles, while the backrests and armrests are woven with rope. The weave is breathable and gives elastically when leaning back; the seat rests on aluminum, on which a cushion is placed on the seating furniture.
The tables in the series have a clear geometry: round, square, or rectangular tabletops made of aluminum or porcelain stoneware on a slender aluminum frame. The formal relationship between table and chair, between sofa and bar stool, makes mixing within the series easy – and the result harmonious.
Material: Aluminum and rope weaving
The rope weaving of Luce is made of polyolefin and is UV- and weather-resistant, according to the manufacturer; it does not absorb water and dries quickly. The artisanal weaving around the aluminum frame is both decorative and functional – the rope brings structure, warmth, and a textile feel to the metallic basic structure.
The aluminum frame is lightweight and corrosion-resistant and is available in white or graphite gray. More about weatherproof outdoor materials can be found in our material guide.

In the dining area, the Luce Armchair and the Luce Stackable Chair are available – both with an aluminum frame and hand-woven rope backrest; the armchair additionally has rope on the armrests. To match, the Luce Dining Table Ø 80 cm, a round table for up to four people.
For the lounge area, Luce offers the Luce Sofa 142 cm and the Luce Lounge Chair – both with seat and back cushions in Latte or Sabbia and a low overall height of 73 cm. The Luce Coffee Table 56×56 cm complements the lounge combination.

Use in the garden and on the terrace
