Color Finishes and Style Integration

The Memphis Cushion Box is available in two distinct monochrome and epoxy colors, designed to coordinate perfectly with Moia's main living room and outdoor furniture lines:

• Anthracite Grey Variant: A dense, modern shade with a clear urban and industrial inspiration. It minimizes the visibility of dust or external environmental residues and is ideal for pairing with dark metal structures or anthracite rope coverings.
• White Variant: A sunny, ethereal, pure white, and exquisitely Mediterranean choice. Perfect for modern outdoor spaces, bright verandas, or poolside areas, it conveys a sense of visual order, airiness, and formal cleanliness.

Material Details and Maintenance Guidelines

1. Aluminum Structure and Paneling

The aluminum selected by Moia is a noble structural metal that contains no iron, making it 100% immune to rust, corrosion, and degradation from salt spray or chlorine. The surface finish is achieved through oven-baked thermosetting powder coating.
Use and Maintenance: Maintenance is minimal. To clean the exterior and interior surfaces of dust, pollen, or windblown debris, simply wash the structure with a soft cloth or a soft-bristled brush using fresh water and a common pH-neutral liquid soap. Rinse and dry. Avoid using steel wool, acids, bleach, or harsh industrial degreasers, as they may scratch the epoxy finish.

2. Piston and Wheel Opening Mechanisms

The gas-assisted hydraulic pistons are calibrated to balance the weight of the aluminum lid, ensuring controlled automatic lifting and preventing accidental forceful closure. The wheels are made of wear-resistant engineering plastic with protected pins.
Use and Maintenance: To maintain smooth movement over time and prevent squeaks caused by external humidity, we recommend applying a drop of silicone spray lubricant or release oil to the piston joints and wheel pins annually.

Benefits and Design

• Assisted Piston Opening (Safe & Easy): The pneumatic gas piston system makes daily adjustments to the cushions quick and effortless. Once raised a few centimeters, the lid opens automatically and remains securely raised at the end, allowing you to store or remove the lounge cushions with both hands free.
• All-Weather Rustproof Engineering: Unlike common plastic boxes (which tend to crystallize and fade in the sun) or iron boxes (which are subject to rust), the Memphis aluminum structure withstands torrential rain, winter frosts, and direct exposure to UV rays, protecting the contents in a solid and stable shell.
• Dynamic Mobility on Wheels: Moving a large outdoor container can be difficult when full. Memphis integrates special sliding wheels on the bottom.These lightweight, lightweight aluminum constructions allow the box to be dragged and repositioned on the terrace or under a porch in just a few seconds, also making floor cleaning easier.
• Smart Flat Packaging: The box is delivered in optimized flat packaging. This system protects each individual panel from accidental impacts during logistics and allows the box to be easily moved even through narrow doorways or elevators, while also ensuring quick, guided, and highly precise home assembly.

FAQ

Is the Memphis Box 100% airtight? Can I leave the cushions inside in pouring rain?
The Memphis box is designed to provide excellent protection against vertical rain, nighttime dew, and splashes of water, thanks to the hinged perimeter lid that allows liquids to drain outward. However, since it is not a certified submersible watertight container, the structure maintains a minimum internal airflow, which is essential for preventing condensation, mold, and unpleasant odors on the fabrics. In the event of sudden summer storms, the cushions will remain perfectly dry; for prolonged winter storage in areas completely exposed to torrential rain or blizzards, it is recommended to place the box in a partially sheltered area (under a porch, a canopy, or a veranda).

What does the flat-pack package contain, and is assembly difficult?
The package contains the aluminum perimeter panels, the top cover, the pneumatic pistons, the wheels, the necessary reinforced hardware, and a clear and illustrated instruction manual. Thanks to the precision of the industrial joints and pre-drilled holes, assembly is extremely logical, simple, and takes just a few minutes, without the need for professional equipment.

How many garden cushions can the 138 cm size accommodate on average?
With a width of 138 cm combined with a depth of 72 cm and a height of 75 cm, the interior space is extremely generous. The Memphis box can easily accommodate the complete set of cushions (seats and backrests) of a standard 4- or 5-seater outdoor lounge set (for example, a three-seater sofa, two armchairs, and their decorative cushions), optimizing the order of the outdoor area at the end of the day.
