Talenti; The Talenti story began in 2004 with Fabrizio Cameli who, after spending a few years in his family marble business, decided to set up his own garden furniture business.
Excellent results and prestigious accolades soon followed. In 2007, during the economic crisis that was hitting the country, Talenti stepped on the accelerator of intuition: something is changing and it cannot be left behind.
And so other lines were designed, this time of a contemporary nature; a courageous choice that was rewarded at the Salone del Mobile in Milano. For this launch, Talenti selected Karim Rashid, designer who at the time was enjoying great success on the market.The products made with the American designer were a success; the collaboration with Rashid established Talenti as a major player in the outdoor living market.
Today, Talenti is a company committed to developing and spreading the brand worldwide, a constantly growing reality that places its customers, its team, its agents and every person it comes into contact with at the centre of every action and operation of the company. Within Talenti, people work with great enthusiasm and harmony, giving their best every day, always has been and always will be.
