Alabama//Alu Rocking Chair

Design

The Talenti Alabama//Alu Rocking Chair brings a calm, confident presence to the patio. Designed by Marco Acerbis, it balances crisp lines with an easy, inviting curve that sets the rhythm for a smooth rock. Proportions feel considered: about 33.5 inches wide, 35.4 inches deep, and 31.5 inches high, with a seat height near 14.6 inches. Enough room to lounge without crowding a space. The silhouette stays light, so it looks as good from across the terrace as it does up close.

There’s a quiet interplay of materials—cool metal, warm wood, soft upholstery—that keeps the piece modern yet familiar. Nothing shouts. Everything works together.

Materials & Build

A powder-coated aluminum frame forms the backbone, giving the chair durability without bulk. At roughly 37.5 pounds, it feels solid on the ground but moves when needed. The upper armrests and the backrest carry slim teak slats, adding warmth where the hands meet the chair and a touch of natural texture to the profile.

Underneath, synthetic elastic straps engineered for the outdoors support both seat and back. They flex, then return, preserving shape over time. Hardware and junctions stay discreet, keeping the focus on clean geometry and the gentle arc of the runners.

Comfort

The Alabama//Alu Rocking Chair is tuned for daily ease. The gentle base delivers a steady, controlled motion—relaxing, not sleepy. Cushioning uses quick-dry foam wrapped in removable, weather-resistant fabric, so a passing shower isn’t an interruption. Dry-out is fast, and the covers are simple to clean.

The seat height makes entry and exit straightforward, and the strap foundation adds a subtle give that complements the foam rather than competing with it. It feels supportive without feeling stiff.

Placement & Lifestyle

This chair slips naturally onto a covered porch, a sun deck, or a compact city balcony. It sits comfortably on its own or as a pair. Available in white-grey or graphite–dark grey, it blends easily with timber decking, pale stone, or concrete. The palette keeps it versatile—crisp against lighter tones, quietly graphic next to deeper shades.

Think morning coffee, an hour with a book, or a calm end to the day. Not precious. Just ready.

Longevity

Materials are specified for life outdoors: aluminum that resists corrosion, teak that ages with character, fabrics designed to face weather and clean up easily. Use the optional cover when the season turns or during long stretches away; it helps keep surfaces fresh and dust-free.

With occasional wipe-downs and routine care for the teak, the Talenti piece maintains its look and comfort year after year. The Alabama//Alu Rocking Chair is built to be part of the setting, not just a guest for one season.
