Pevero – Teak and Aluminum in Balance
The Pevero collection by Unopiù combines two materials that have been considered benchmarks in the outdoor sector for decades: teak wood and aluminum. The result is a lounge collection that blends the natural with the technical – exuding a tranquility that invites you to linger.
Pevero is a collection for the pool area, sun lounge, and spacious terrace. Its elements – from lounge chair to sofa to sun island – are consistently designed for comfort and durability.
Design and Formal Language
Pevero works with two distinctly different material zones: the warm, textured teak wood surface and the smooth, cool aluminum. This tension – organic vs. technical, warm vs. neutral – is the design principle of the collection.
The furniture has low profiles and wide seats. The teak slats are laid horizontally, giving the furniture a horizontal tranquility – sun loungers, sofas, and daybeds seem to blend into the surroundings rather than stand out.
Material: Teak Wood and Aluminum
Teak Wood
Teak (Tectona grandis) is one of the most valuable types of wood for outdoor use. It contains natural oils that repel water, fungi, and insects – without additional treatment. Teak weathers over time to a silver-grey patina, which many find particularly appealing; alternatively, the warm golden-brown initial color can be maintained through regular oiling. You can find more about teak wood and other outdoor materials in our material guide.
Aluminum
The aluminum frame is powder-coated and designed for continuous outdoor use. Aluminum is lightweight, low-maintenance, and corrosion-resistant. The combination with teak results in furniture that is easier to handle than classic full-teak furniture, without sacrificing the look of natural wood.
The Furniture of the Pevero Series
The core of the lounge is the Pevero Sofa 200 cm and the Pevero Lounge Chair. The seating group is complemented by the Pevero Coffee Table 50 cm in teak and aluminum.
In the relaxation area, there is the Pevero Sun Lounger and the extraordinary Pevero Daybed – a spacious sun island for two people. The Pevero Side Table for Island complements the daybed with a practical storage surface. In addition, Pevero offers a Pevero Teak Director's Chair as a flexible seating element.
The complete collection is available on the Pevero Collection page.
Use in the Garden and by the Pool
Pevero is the collection for the pool area. The low profiles of the sun loungers and daybed keep the sightline open; the teak harmonizes equally well with stone, wood, and greenery. At the same time, Pevero is versatile enough for the terrace – as a lounge core or as an independent relaxation zone. An Unopiù pergola provides suitable sun protection.
Pevero in the Context of the Unopiù Brand
In the Unopiù range, Pevero represents the teak lounge line. If you want to focus on teak in the dining area, the Chelsea collection is the right starting point. For a pure WaProLace® lounge, the Olimpia or Agorà collection is suitable. All collections can be found on the Brand page.

Care in 3 Steps
- Oil teak: Once a year (ideally in spring) with a high-quality teak oil. Clean the surface with teak cleaner beforehand and let it dry.
- Wipe aluminum: Clean powder-coated aluminum only with a damp cloth – no oil, no abrasives.
- Winter storage: Teak and aluminum are weather-resistant. Store cushions; a breathable protective cover protects the wood from mold formation due to persistent moisture.
Frequently Asked Questions about the Pevero Collection
How do I care for the teak elements of Pevero furniture?
Teak is easy to care for and naturally weathers to a silver-grey tone. If you want to maintain the warm, golden-brown original color, you should treat the wood once a year with a suitable teak oil. In general: teak does not require intensive care.
Is the daybed suitable for two people?
Yes. The Pevero Daybed is designed as a sun island for two people and offers a generous lying surface.
Can the Pevero sun lounger also be used without a pool?
Yes. The sun loungers are suitable for any sun-exposed area – terrace, garden, roof terrace. The pool area is a typical use case, but by no means the only one.
Does teak weather when it gets wet?
Teak is naturally water-resistant. Wet weather does not harm the wood. Standing water should be removed from the surface after long periods of rain to prevent discoloration.
