Itaca Sunbed

Itaca Sunbed by Carlo Colombo

The Itaca sunbed distills Talenti’s outdoor mastery into a single, quietly charismatic silhouette. Designed by Carlo Colombo for the Itaca collection, it reads as both sculpture and comfort object: rounded profiles, generous proportions, and a base in Accoya wood shaped with soft radii that invite the hand to linger. This is an outdoor sunbed built for long afternoons and longer seasons—calmly stylish by the pool, on a terrace, or lining a hotel deck where the details must stand up to constant use.

Consider the way it works as much as how it looks. The Itaca sunbed uses a semi-automatic reclining system that moves with a subtle, almost effortless glide. Multiple positions allow for upright reading, lazy lounging, or a fully reclined pause when the day calls for nothing at all. The mechanism is discreet and precise, the sort of engineering you feel rather than notice, which makes it as reliable for contract environments as it is indulgent at home.

Materials & Finishes That Perform Outdoors

At its core, the Accoya base—offered in a natural teak tone or a refined palissandro (rosewood) hue—delivers exceptional weather resistance and dimensional stability. Accoya is known for its resilience in all climates, and here it’s finished to a tactile softness that belies its strength. Talenti pairs the wood with outdoor-ready upholstery and slings designed to breathe, dry quickly, and shrug off sun, salt, and sudden showers. The palette is decidedly modern: Palissandro with Milk White for a crisp, graphic contrast; or Accoya frames complemented by textiles in Jungle green, Milk White, or the quietly optimistic Sunflower. Each option has its own voice—neutral, verdant, luminous—yet all remain understated enough to sit comfortably in a considered landscape.

Design You Feel, Not Just See

The Itaca sunbed isn’t loud about its luxury. It’s in the small gestures: the curvature that supports the knee, the neat joints, the way the base meets the ground with a soft, rounded line rather than an abrupt edge. Those decisions add up to a piece that reads refined without pretense. It’s a lounger you can specify across a resort and know it will age gracefully; it’s also the one piece that can anchor a private garden with quiet authority.

For Residential Retreats and High‑Performance Hospitality

Because the Itaca sunbed marries durable materials with an intuitive mechanism, it thrives in both residential and contract settings. Think poolside rows where alignment matters and maintenance must be simple, or a secluded deck where the goal is to disappear into a novel. The category may be Relax, but the build is all-weather serious—engineered for sun, rain, coastal air, and the occasional party.

Why It Endures

Ultimately, the Talenti Itaca sunbed succeeds by resisting fashion. It’s contemporary without being brittle, comfortable without being oversized, and elegant without insisting on attention. For designers and homeowners who value restraint and rigor in equal measure, it’s the outdoor sun lounger that does exactly what it promises: offers a long, calm place to land—season after season, setting after setting.
