Elton Bench

ELTON BENCH by Talenti: a sculptural module for modern outdoor living

The ELTON BENCH by Talenti turns a simple seating element into a quietly dramatic gesture—sensuous, deliberate, and undeniably architectural. Conceived by Ludovica + Roberto Palomba for the Elton collection, it’s a module that behaves like furniture and landscape at once. Its profile flows in a continuous curve, softening the geometry of a terrace or pool deck while anchoring the composition with a confident, low-slung presence. Slide it onto the end of a sofa layout to lengthen the scene; let it stand alone as a punctuation mark; pair two to face a garden view. The intent is versatility without compromise.

Palomba design: curves with purpose

The ELTON BENCH reads as light, but it’s disciplined under the surface. Those rounded edges mask exacting proportions, allowing the piece to function as a bench, a generous pouf, or a refined chaise extension depending on context. The designers’ hand is evident in the restraint—no ornament, only the essential line, repeated until it becomes character. It’s the kind of outdoor seating that doesn’t shout for attention, yet quietly elevates everything around it.

Materials engineered for the elements

At its core, the ELTON BENCH employs an Accoya wood base—acetylated for dimensional stability and long-term performance outdoors—crafted in two distinctive finishes that shift its mood: natural and palissandro (a rosewood-inspired tone). The tactile warmth of timber grounds the piece, while Talenti’s outdoor-grade upholstery delivers comfort that resists weather with ease. UV exposure, temperature swings, humidity—this bench is built for real life outside, not just a photogenic moment. Cushions are designed for all-weather use, holding form and color through seasons of sun and salt air.

A palette that invites composition

Talenti’s material combinations open up nuanced styling. Choose natural teak with Old White for a crisp Mediterranean clarity, or lean into Cordonetto Beige when you want quiet, sandy sophistication. Sunflower brings a confident burst of color; Galaxy Blue plays beautifully against water and sky. For pattern and subtle sheen, Stripe Champagne is effortless, relaxed, and just dressy enough. Prefer a deeper timber narrative? Select palissandro with Old White for high contrast, palissandro with Cordonetto Beige for tonal richness, or pair palissandro with Sunflower or Stripe Champagne for a touch of Riviera glamour. Each option keeps the ELTON BENCH grounded in nature while nudging the setting—brighter, calmer, or more urbane—at your discretion.

From sun deck to city terrace

In use, the ELTON BENCH shows range. On a yacht deck, it reads as a pliant, sculptural surface that invites barefoot lounging. In a walled courtyard, it becomes a low horizon line, balancing planters and lanterns without crowding the view. On a compact balcony, the module’s curved edges soften circulation and maximize seating without visual heaviness. Combine it with other pieces from the Elton collection to create layered lounging islands, or place it solo as a confident accent. Either way, the effect is cohesive and considered.

Luxury outdoor furniture earns its status through performance as much as appearance. The ELTON BENCH delivers both: a refined silhouette, a resilient soul, and the kind of tactile comfort that draws you in and keeps you there. It’s Talenti at its best—quiet innovation, beautifully resolved.
