Sustainability Meets Style with Talenti

Talenti offers two diverse offerings in its outdoor collection – Carlo Colombo’s Tressé and Ludovica+Roberto Palomba’s Venice

From Colombo’s fashion-forward approach to Palomba Serafini’s poetic elegance, these collections invite us to rethink our relationship with outdoor spaces – allowing style, sustainability and innovation to converge.

Tressé: Carlo Colombo has revisited his acclaimed Tressé collection for Talenti, propelling it into 2025 with a fresh perspective. Known for its tubular aluminium frames and eco-leather weaves, the collection imbues outdoor spaces with sophistication. Inspired by the interwoven designs that dominated 1990s fashion – epitomised by Bottega Veneta – Tressé captures the essence of modern luxury while remaining rooted in functionality. Characterised by its modular versatility, the collection offers customizable options across seating, tables and loungers. Highlights include its sustainable yet stylish eco-leather weaving and Accoya wood. Colombo says, “Every component is crafted to endure. Tressé isn’t just furniture – it’s a statement of longevity and beauty.” With bold yet understated colours like silk grey, Siena earth tones and the newly added silver eco-leather, Tressé embraces timeless elegance. Complementary bouclé fabrics and vibrant Missoni-inspired cushions enhance its adaptability across diverse outdoor settings.

Venice by Ludovica Serafini and Roberto Palomba

Venice: Venice by Ludovica Serafini and Roberto Palomba takes inspiration from the ethereal beauty of the city, capturing the lightness and fluidity of gondolas drifting on water. The wide seats with soft lines rest on solid wooden bases from which emerge, like the handcrafted parapets of a vessel, backrests and armrests upholstered in full nautical style. These backrests become elegant sails, ready to take advantage of the breeze to embark on a voyage into the unknown. The collection features 18 meticulously designed pieces, including sofas, tables, chairs and sun loungers. Anchored in craftsmanship and innovation, Venice combines teak and Accoya wood basis, lava stone tabletops in polished ceramic finishes that reflect sunset and seascape hues, and nautical-style upholstery. With Tressé and Venice, Talenti demonstrates how the fusion of visionary design and eco-conscious practices can redefine outdoor living without compromising on sustainability or style.
