Claude Living Armchair

A modern classic for the open air

The Claude living armchair takes the familiar language of refined interior seating and translates it outdoors with confidence. Designed by Ludovica + Roberto Palomba for Talenti’s Elton collection, it has the quiet poise of a piece you’ve always known, yet the materials and detailing make it decidedly contemporary. Slim, architectural legs lift a generously upholstered body; the silhouette feels light, the comfort anything but.

Design pedigree, expressed with restraint

Palomba’s hand is evident in the armchair’s measured proportions and the way volumes meet—soft, inviting cushions framed by crisp, linear supports. There’s a subtle rake to the back that encourages lingering, a lounge height that feels social without sacrificing repose. The Claude living armchair isn’t overdrawn; it’s edited, allowing texture and tone to do the talking.

Engineered beauty for every season

At its core, the Claude armchair is built to thrive outside. Powder‑coated aluminium legs—available in Warm White or Mokka—resist corrosion and retain their color through sun and storm. The structure is composed of polyurethane foam, chosen for its resilience and shape retention, then masterfully upholstered to preserve clean lines while delivering an unexpectedly plush sit. Every surface is selected for all‑weather performance, so the piece reads as luxury outdoor furniture without the maintenance anxiety.

Colorways with character

Talenti treats the palette with the same precision as the form. Pair the Warm White frame with Cordonetto Beige for a sun‑washed, coastal mood; choose Greige for an urbane, tonal composition; or opt for Sunflower for a measured hit of color that remains elegant. On the darker side, the Mokka finish deepens the profile and plays beautifully with Greige’s quiet warmth, Cordonetto Beige’s natural ease, or the spirited Sunflower textile. The combinations are purposeful rather than endless, which makes specifying the Claude living armchair refreshingly straightforward.

Comfort you notice, craft you keep discovering

Sit, and the armchair’s intent becomes clear. The foam welcomes without swallowing; the arms are broad enough for a book or a glass; the upholstery is tailored yet relaxed, with just enough give to feel human. Look closer and the stitching traces the form with discipline. Nothing shouts, and that’s precisely the point—this is outdoor seating that refuses to trade durability for finesse.

Part of a considered outdoor narrative

As a centerpiece on a stone terrace, flanking a low coffee table under a pergola, or grouped in twos on a balcony, the Talenti Claude living armchair adapts with ease. Its language is cosmopolitan but never loud, making it at home in a Mediterranean courtyard as well as a minimalist city rooftop. Within the Elton collection, it converses fluently with companion pieces, creating a unified outdoor living room that feels designed, not assembled.

For those who want the calm assurance of an indoor classic rendered for real weather and real life, the Claude living armchair delivers. Thoughtful design, honest materials, and a tactile, enduring finish—this is how outdoor comfort should look and feel.
