putting them in continuity ” Fo r t h e d i n i n g c o l l e c t i on , t h e c on c e p t t h a t i n s p i re d L u d o v i c a + R o b e r t o Pa l om b a w a s m on o l i c i t y T h e t a b l e, available with both concrete and Accoya structure, consists of a top resting on a powerful monolithic base characterized by three faceted columns The same concept is also repeated with essential shapes that once united in a single foot, create a strong distinctive detail We have always been fascinated by the theme of the columns that we use here to give simplicity and iconicity.”

The Salinas family – consisting of sofas, armchairs, benches, deck chairs, chairs and tables – expresses the refinement typical of the indoor into the outdoor wor ld, through the preciousness of fabrics The refined chromatic range evokes the colors of sand and sea, giving the outdoor environments a natural timeless charm

The soft lines of the cushions are enhanced by the contrast, the use of the padded strap in the back that becomes here a design element Among the products, the dining table stands out, statutor y with imposing columns that recall the trunk of a tree and that raise the top upwards and the armchair, an invitation to stop and enjoy the view

The mater ials inc lude Accoya, Aluminum, lava stone, cement and 100 percent green coverings, where design meets sustainability

Fo r Ta l e n t i , s u s t a i n a b i l i t y i s n o t a f a s h i on b u t a n entrepreneurial philosophy that translates into research and development and the combination of design and technolog y Having a responsible attitude toward the environment around us is undoubtedly an objective that a company in the outdoor wor ld must pursue

W hen Talenti thinks of a product, already in the concept phase, the will is to create a quality and lasting project This i s w hy p re s t i g i o u s d e s i g n e r s s u c h a s L u d o v i c a + R o b e r t o Palomba choose to support the creation of collections with a timeless design and careful research and selection of materials to be used in the coffee table version.

“ The idea starts from the desire to design for Talenti a c o l l e c t i on o f m on o p o d t a b l e s s u i t a b l e f o r o u t d o o r l i f e, ” according to Studio Palomba “ We wanted to create an object with a marked monolithic appearance The result is a piece

Talenti relies on suppliers who share the same vision of the company : ever y component is designed, thought and intended to last over time because the brand has the firm belief that the longevity of the product and therefore of the materials that make it up is already a first decisive step along the path of sustainable development and towards sustainability in more general terms

The collaboration with Studio Palomba has a long histor y and it has marked a before and af ter in the corporate vision where matter and design come together At first glance, it is evident that the Salinas collection has a great protagonist: the fabric. W hile this marine color creates a feeling of peace and relaxation, at the same time, its composition is undergoing an epochal change

Af ter years of researc h, f or the first time, Talenti has introduced in some collections like this, a new 100 percent green fabric created by the recyc ling of post-consumer PET bottles, which is further recyc lable at the end of its use In full harmony with the philosophy of circular design, this range of fabrics is completely Made in Italy and made with a unique production process

Through a mechanical process and without the use of chemicals that could be harmful to the environment, plastic bottles are transformed into small flakes, then into polymers and into recyc led PET yarn

The use of recyc led polyester, which requires fewer processing steps, allows considerable energ y and water savings and a significant reduction in carbon emissions This incredible material gives an aura of eternity to the sofas and seats of the entire collection

If the covering is the protagonist, wood certainly shares an important role in this collection But not just any wood – the Accoya wood, wor ld leader in the high technolog y segment and the result of more than 75 years of research and development

The Accoya wood that in Salinas we can find in the dining tables and in the coffee tables, has not only an aesthetic value, but it arises from the need to make a more solid and durable product that, being outdoors, is used in direct contact with water and exposed to the weather daily

Accoya is created from sof twoods from sustainable s o u rc e s t h a t a re s u b j e c t e d t o a p a t e n t e d a n d completely non-toxic process, known as acetylation, which permanently changes the internal structure of the wood, increasing dimensional stability and durability The result is the equivalent of solid, but eco-fr iend l y wood, coming from fast-growing, totally non-toxic sustainable forests, which provides dimensional stabilit y and durabilit y superior to even the best tropical hardwood Accoya wood is FSC certified, which means that it is a sustainable wood bor n, grown and har vested in selected and regular l y reforested and protected forests

Aluminum, mainly used for the structure and feet of the sofa, is a lightweight and durable material Easy to hand le, extremely versatile, but above all eternal In fact, one of the main characteristics of aluminum is the infinite recyclability and the substantial energ y savings that result i n t e r m s o f p ro d u c t i on , i n ad d i t i on t o e vo l u t i on , performance and other obvious advantages guaranteed by the material and its applications A set of values that m a k e t h e c on c e p t o f g re e n e c on om y a n d re s o u rc e conser vation evident and intrinsic to aluminum

W ith the Salinas collection, Talenti has introduced another material, cement Thanks to constant research and experimentation, this material has reached levels of qualit y, workabilit y and usabilit y suc h as to make it suitable for outdoor and indoor furniture

Cement is a material that adapts to all styles for its multiple qualities; it is an extremely resistant material, but also ductile and this allows one to imagine with more freedom complex shapes and geometries

Thanks to the creative work of Ludovica+Roberto Palomba, this material has been chosen for the realization of the elegant dining tables and coffee tables of the collection, elegant, resistant and functional furnishing accessories

Stone also plays a big role in this project If the sculptural concrete bases seduce with their statuesque minimalism, the lava stone tops of some coffee tables deser ve special attention This material not only creates a bond with the territor y, but amplifies the beaut y of the furnishings by according the colors to the coverings

W hen a great company meets great designers, the results can only be exciting, and Salinas invites people to embark on a journey to the planet through an exc lusive and highl y sustainable design. KN
