Respect, sharing, commitment. These are the shared values put into practice both by Talenti, in the production of outdoor furniture, and Santini, in the creation of technical clothing for running. As part of the design for the headquarters of the sports brand, carried out by Marco Acerbis in an area of urban industrial development close to the centre of Bergamo, the Leaf collection has been introduced, designed by the same architect.
The feeling of being suspended, almost floating in mid-air, just like a bicycle speeding along its path, characterises the profile of the sofa. Its structure with slender legs in 100% recyclable aluminium has been combined with a cover in a new fabric made from recycled post-consumer PET plastic bottles, also recyclable at the end of its useful life. The yarn is obtained through a mechanical process without the use of chemical substances, that requires less in the way of processing making for considerable savings in terms of energy and water and a net reduction in carbon emissions. Influenced by the world of fashion, Talenti have created a unique weave for the back and armrests, based on a polypropylene cord and using looms from the 1970s and 80s.
With a result that has exceptional three-dimensionality, both visual and tactile. Tables and side tables showcase another new generation sustainable material, Vitter. A compact stratified laminate made from FSC certified cellulose-based paper with no added resins or glues. Free from formaldehyde, high-performance, recyclable, strong and anti-bacterial, suitable for direct contact with food, it contributes to giving the right quality to time spent outdoors. Just as Santini does.
