A Sense of POETRY IN LA TRAPA
Nestled at the secluded edge of Mallorca’s western coastline, La Trapa emerges as an architectural homage to the island’s wild beauty. Designed by architect Joan Miquel Seguí in collaboration with Terraza Balear, this 430-square-metre family retreat is enveloped by dense pine forests, revealing itself only after a winding journey
through the verdant landscape. The home’s triangular form, organically shaped to its plot, creates a harmonious dialogue between modern architecture and the rugged, natural surroundings, embracing the island’s serene spirit. Every element of La Trapa is curated to encourage a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living—a concept brought to life by Tribù’s luxury outdoor
collections. The partnership between Tribù and homeowner, Tom de Cock, managing partner at Tribù, is a testament to shared values of refined design, quality craftsmanship, and a profound respect for nature. Pieces of furniture, meticulously selected from Tribù’s lineup, resonates with the home’s architectural language, subtly elevating the outdoor spaces while maintaining an authentic connection to the
SENJA Lounge Chair by Studio Segers surrounding landscape. A fluid connection with nature is established in the open-air living room, where Tribù’s Vis à vis sofa by Piergiorgio Cazzaniga invites relaxation with its modular design and teak platforms that seem to float above the ground. From any angle, this sofa captivates, with stainless-steel brackets lending it an airy grace, while cushions— protected by ventilating, water-repellent filling—promise resilience against the elements.

Adjacent Suro lounge chairs by Christophe Delcourt echo this balance, with flexible rope weaving and teak wood that offer cocoon-like comfort in their petal-shaped backrests. The central terrace serves as an alfresco dining sanctuary, where the Nox table by
Tribù Studio stands as a masterpiece of craftsmanship. Its glazed lava stone tabletop, sourced from 400-year-old Vesuvian stone,
boasts a rich, craquelure finish that catches the shifting light and mirrors the sky. Each hand-glazed slat brings an earthy elegance,
with a powder-coated steel frame providing a sleek base that seems to float above the landscape. Surrounding the table, CTR
armchairs by Cazzaniga offer refined seating with open-weave backrests, delicately balanced on frames that blend traditional
weaving with contemporary design.
In the private nooks of the garden, Senja loungers by Studio Segers extend an invitation to unwind. With their generous, weatherproof cushions and optional teak side tables, these loungers transform relaxation into an art form, perfectly positioned to capture panoramic views of the surrounding hills and sea. Alongside, the Senja lounge
chairs exemplify versatility with their hempbased Canax weave and teak legs, merging form and function with the tranquil rhythm of nature. La Trapa exemplifies the ethos that defines Tribù—a blend of craftsmanship, quality, and subtlety that integrates harmoniously with the natural world. Here, Tribù’s designs are not merely outdoor furniture; they are extensions of the home, enhancing the
villa’s connection to its surroundings and celebrating an outdoor lifestyle that balances luxury with simplicity. This secluded haven is a place where refined design and nature exist in perfect
harmony—a tribute to both the island’s legacy and to Tribù’s dedication to creating spaces that nurture well-being and connection.
