Herbie Consolle

Quiet Confidence, Clean Lines

The Herbie Consolle from Talenti takes a straightforward approach to console design. No unnecessary details, no decorative excess. Just clean geometry and balanced proportions that feel right in a contemporary interior. The silhouette is minimal but deliberate — a flat, generous top resting on legs that echo the same restrained character. It reads as simple at first glance. But spend a moment with it, and the precision becomes clear.

Materials and Finishes

Both the top and legs are available in lacquered or veneered finishes, giving the piece a range of personalities depending on the selection. The lacquered gloss options — Ecru, Black, Red, and Verdigris — bring a polished, reflective surface that shifts with the light. The veneered options, Decor Rain and Decor Cloudy, offer a softer, more textured feel. Either way, the surfaces carry real depth.

Thermoplastic polymer glides sit beneath the legs, a small but smart detail. They keep the console stable on any flooring and protect surfaces from scratching. It’s a practical choice that stays invisible.

Two Heights, Two Uses

Talenti offers the Herbie Consolle in two sizes. The lower version measures approximately 55.1 x 19.7 inches with a height of 15.7 inches, weighing around 70.5 lbs. The taller version shares the same top dimensions at 55.1 x 19.7 inches but stands 27.2 inches high, coming in at roughly 99.2 lbs. The lower profile works well as a display surface or a grounded accent piece. The taller version fits naturally behind a sofa or along an entryway wall at a more conventional console height.

Where It Belongs

Entrance areas and transitional spaces are the obvious candidates. A hallway, a foyer, a landing between rooms. But the Herbie works just as well in a living area or a bedroom where something lean and unfussy is needed. It doesn’t demand attention. It holds its place quietly and lets the rest of the room do the talking. And that restraint is exactly what makes it versatile.

Built to Stay

There’s a solidity to this console that goes beyond appearance. The construction is substantial — the taller version weighs nearly 100 lbs — and the finishes are designed to hold up in real living environments. This isn’t a piece that looks good for a season and then shows its age. The lacquered and veneered surfaces resist the kind of wear that comes with daily use, and the overall build suggests a long, uneventful life in the best possible sense. It simply stays as it is.
