“The gorgeous and wonderful reality of Venice is beyond the fancy of the wildest dreamer,” Charles Dickens wrote, capturing the spirit of the city and translating it into words. Venice is a masterpiece of eternal beauty, suspended in time and space, halfway between land and sea, reality and fantasy. A palette of colors, impressions and sounds, which has always attracted artists of all kinds. Ludovica Serafini and Roberto Palomba have turned to this tableau to create a new collection for Talenti. The result is Venice, a refined program for outdoor living.
Part of the “Icon 2024” catalogue, Venice is a complete family of furnishings, including 18 pieces: sofas, tables, chairs, sun cots. The wooden bases of the seating elements make direct reference to the typical architecture of the city: the echo of squares, canals and bridges emerges in these versatile structures – clearly perceived above all in the various modules of the sofas and cots – which lightly support the soft padding.
The history of the city, with its seagoing achievements and trade in fabrics, has provided another catalogue of creative stimuli, interpreted in the use of nautical rope to create rhythmical weaves on the backs of the lounge chairs, regular chairs and stools, while the coverings introduce a lively range of hues, giving rise to harmonious creative combinations: from gray to blue, beige to bordeaux, again calling to mind the Venetian landscape and its tradition.
The common denominator of the collection is the use of teak and Accoya wood, alternating with volcanic stone for the table tops, with a glossy glazed finish. Talenti has chosen these two wood varieties not only for their material impact, but also to ensure a sense of natural allure throughout the offerings.
oth types of wood are certified, highly resistant and durable, and thus perfect for outdoor use. The teak adds a typical natural pattern, with irregular undulated grain; the Accoya® is totally eco-friendly, the result of research and a patented process that improves dimensional stability and durability.
The timeless beauty of Venice lives on in this domestic setting created by Talenti, to be savored day after day.
