Claude Dining Armchair

Claude Dining Armchair by Talenti

Conceived by Ludovica + Roberto Palomba for Talenti, the Claude dining armchair translates the ease of an indoor lounge piece into a refined outdoor dining companion. Its silhouette is generous yet measured: a softly rounded shell that wraps the body, set on slender, architectural legs. You feel the intent immediately—this is an outdoor dining armchair designed for lingering, for conversations that stretch past dessert, for the kind of hospitality that rewards comfort and craftsmanship in equal measure.

Design that moves seamlessly outdoors

The Claude dining armchair sits within the Elton collection, where the designers pursue a calm, tactile modernism. The language is discreet—no bravado, just an elegant interplay of volume and air. A two-tone, powder‑coated aluminum base brings a crisp graphic line to the piece, available in warm white or mokka and paired with subtle accents that read as tailored detailing rather than ornament. The seat’s gently flared arms and enveloping back echo the living version of Claude, but the proportions have been tuned for the table: supportive, upright, still relaxed.

A curated palette, quietly expressive

Talenti offers Claude in nuanced, sun-ready palettes that allow the chair to shift from coastal light to urban shadow without losing its poise. Choose warm white with cordonetto beige for a soft monochrome, warm white with greige for a cooler, more architectural note, or warm white with sunflower for a clear, optimistic accent. Prefer deeper tones? Mokka grounds the composition, paired with cordonetto beige, greige, or a sunflower highlight. The contrasting cordonetto trim functions like fine piping on a bespoke jacket—subtle, but decisive.

Materials that invite weather—and time

Beneath the refined surface, the Claude dining armchair is engineered for the elements. The legs are crafted from powder‑coated aluminum—lightweight, rigid, and resistant to corrosion—while the body employs expanded polyurethane expertly coated for outdoor use. The result is a resilient shell that stands up to sun, rain, and daily wear without sacrificing touch or silhouette. All-weather finishes and outdoor-grade coverings maintain color and structure across seasons; the chair feels substantial yet never heavy, a productive tension that speaks to Talenti’s manufacturing know‑how.

Comfort, calibrated for dining

What distinguishes the Claude dining armchair is its posture. The seat is balanced to keep you present at the table—thoughtful ergonomics, considered depth, arms placed for natural support. The cushioning in expanded polyurethane lends buoyancy rather than sink, encouraging upright ease through multi-course evenings. You sit in it, not on it, which is why guests tend to stay.

Versatile by design

Stylistically, Claude is a connector. It pairs as easily with a monolithic stone top as with a slim aluminum dining table, and it softens minimal terraces without diluting their clarity. On a sunlit veranda, warm white with sunflower inflects the space with energy; in a shaded courtyard, mokka and greige deliver quiet gravitas. As a Talenti outdoor dining chair, it anchors a setting without overpowering it—an essential, not an accessory.

Elton collection, shared DNA

Within the Elton collection, the Claude dining armchair functions as a bridge between living and dining zones, carrying a consistent material language across the space. It demonstrates what Talenti and the Palombas do best: elevate outdoor living with pieces that feel familiar indoors, yet are purpose-built for open air. The Claude dining armchair doesn’t just endure the weather; it belongs to it.
