Male Living Armchair

Low, Clean, and Quietly Confident

The Malè Living Armchair from Talenti sits low and wide, with a profile that reads as relaxed but deliberate. Its lines are clean and well-defined, shaped around a contemporary idea of comfort that doesn’t try too hard. There’s nothing bulky about it. The silhouette stays light, almost minimal, while still offering a seat that feels genuinely welcoming. It’s the kind of chair that holds a room together without demanding attention.

Materials That Do the Work

The frame combines steel legs with a self-supporting rigid polyurethane seat shell, giving the chair its structure without adding visual weight. Inside, high-density expanded polyurethane foam handles the comfort side of things. The steel legs come in three finishes: burnished, chrome, or glossy black. Each shifts the character of the piece just enough to suit different interiors.

Upholstery is available in fabric or leather, with fabric options spanning several categories from A through LUX G. That range means there’s room to go understated or push toward something richer. Thermoplastic polymer glides protect floors and keep everything stable. The whole chair weighs in at roughly 8.8 pounds, so moving it around is never an issue.

Comfort at Fifteen Inches

With a seat height of about 15.4 inches, the Malè sits lower than a standard armchair. That’s intentional. It encourages a more laid-back posture, something closer to a lounge position than an upright perch. The foam density is high enough to support without feeling stiff, and the seat shape cradles rather than confines. It’s built for long conversations and slow afternoons.

Where It Belongs

The Malè Living Armchair works in spaces that balance refinement with informality. A reading corner, a living room arranged for conversation, a bedroom that needs one good chair. Its slender proportions mean it won’t crowd a smaller room, and its low stance pairs well with sofas and coffee tables that share that grounded sensibility. And because the finishes and upholstery options are broad, it adapts to warm, textured interiors just as easily as cooler, pared-back ones.

Built to Stay

Steel and high-density foam aren’t glamorous talking points, but they’re what keep a chair feeling right after years of daily use. The rigid polyurethane seat shell holds its shape. The foam resists the kind of gradual compression that makes lesser chairs sag. Talenti has built the Malè to be lived with, not just looked at. It’s a straightforward piece that does its job well and keeps doing it.
