The top brand and designers Ludovica Serafini + Roberto Palomba introduce new technology to make backrests and armrests tiltable sofas for the first time.
With the Elton collection, Talenti and designers Ludovica Serafini + Roberto Palomba redefine the boundaries of outdoor design. A family of furnishings which, like a musical composition, alternates rhythm and harmony, lightness and intensity, fusing aesthetics, innovation and emotional suggestions.
The inspiration
Elton is a collection with a strong personality that finds its distinctive character in the combination of soft lines, refined fabrics, and glamorous details. A sofa with sinuous shapes and a scenographic character, that translates into design the desire for peace and relaxation in the open air.
Innovation
But Elton is also technology: for the first time in outdoor design, the backrests and armrests of the sofas become tiltable thanks to an innovative mechanism integrated into the structure. A tailor made revolution that allows everyone to personalize their comfort, playing with the inclination and arrangement of the modules. This technical solution, perfectly integrated into the aesthetics, gives the sofa a dynamic sinuosity, opening up new compositional possibilities for experiencing the outdoor space.
The designers explain
‘The Elton project for Talenti,’ explain Ludovica Serafini and Roberto Palomba, ‘was born from the idea of working on comfort as a dynamic, evolving experience, never static. Elton is, fundamentally, a sofa with a mechanism: a variable system that speaks of design, form, simplicity and attention to detail, but above all of a clear idea, to create an object capable of adapting to the different positions assumed when using the sofa. This is the first time that a mechanism of this type has been applied to an outdoor sofa: the innovation of the project lies precisely in introducing a new way of thinking about how the outdoor environment has changed and evolved, seeking solutions that offer the same functional and aesthetic value as indoor furniture, with a more sophisticated and conscious use of the object.
Materials
The collection stands out for its structure in Accoya, a wood of extraordinary resistance and sustainability, and for the cushions available in a palette that ranges from neutral tones to vibrant colors such as ocher and blue. To complete the offer, the coffee tables with back-painted glass tops (milk white, orange and blue), which introduce a new material into the Talenti universe.
Elton is not a simple set of furnishings, but a manifesto of Talenti’s ability to break down the barriers between indoor and outdoor, transforming the garden or terrace into stages where comfort, beauty and innovation coexist in perfect harmony.
