Talenti – Moon Teak 2 seater sofa

The outdoor two-seat sofa Moon was born looking at the moon. Its backrest, in fact, recalls the shape of a half moon. Lightness in the ropes braiding and resistance to the use of teak are the characteristics of this sofa designed by Cristian Visentin. It has a natural teak structure with armrests and backrests in tubular aluminium covered with an intertwining of ropes in gray synthetic fabric. Cushions with removable fabric, easy to wash and resistant to weather resistant. Quick dry foam padding.

Talenti

Talenti's story began in 2004 with Fabrizio Cameli, who, after spending a few years in his family's old marble processing business, decided to set up his own garden furniture business. He used the skills he had acquired in the marble working to create classic style garden furniture of the highest quality and finish.
He called this reality, Talenti. The name was chosen by friends who appreciated him and consider him a true talent in his work. Fabrizio sees within this name the beating heart of his business idea: he wants a company that stands out precisely because of its talent and creativity,  a company that knows how to keep the ambitious promises it makes, but always with a great humility as its starting point.
This is Talenti, which stands out from the very beginning for its powerful inclination towards art.
The first collections are classic: elegant, with antique flavored items, terracotta stones that are often customized in both form and color. It is not so obvious: their competitors do not, they never really come close to people's desires.

Evolution

Excellent results and prestigious accolades soon followed.
In 2007, during the economic crisis that was hitting the whole country, Talenti stepped on the accelerator intuition: something is changing and it cannot be left behind.
And so other lines were studied, this time of a contemporary nature (opposed to those produced up to that time), which were presented in the same year during a trade fair in Paris.
A courageous and visionary choice that was also rewarded and confirmed 7 months later in Milan risking the criticism of customers accustomed to the smooth and elegant lines of the classic style, presented the contemporary style collection at the Salone del Mobile in Milan, the most important international event in the furniture world. For this launch, Talenti selected Karim Rashid, a designer who at that time was enjoying great sucesson the market.
