Cliff Dining Armchair

Sculpted Design

The Cliff Dining Armchair brings a quiet sense of movement to the table. Its signature rope-braided pattern wraps the silhouette with an ease that feels natural, almost drawn by hand. Lines flow, curves breathe, and the negative space is as considered as the form itself. Designed by Ludovica + Roberto Palomba, it carries that familiar clarity of theirs: elegant without trying, confident without noise.

Within the Cliff Deco collection, the chair sits as a refined constant—recognizable at a glance, yet versatile enough to live comfortably across different settings. The arm profile frames the body rather than enclosing it, while the open weave keeps the piece visually light. It looks poised from every angle, which is precisely the point.

Materials and Build

A metal frame gives the structure its backbone, clean and true. Around it, the braided rope pattern is executed with precision, each line maintaining tension and rhythm. The seat cushion is fabric, tailored to fit the form without fuss, adding a layer of ease without distracting from the design. Nothing feels added on; everything reads as one.

Proportions are thoughtfully set for dining: about 26 inches wide by 20.5 inches deep, with an overall height of roughly 28.3 inches. The chair weighs close to 12.1 pounds, so it moves easily when the room needs to shift. It is not stackable, which preserves its sculptural stance. Packed two per box, it arrives ready to join a setting rather than dominate it.

Comfort in Use

The Cliff Dining Armchair supports without over-explaining. The armrests are set at a welcoming height, and the back’s braided surface has a subtle give that meets the body rather than resisting it. The seat sits at approximately 17.3 inches, right in step with modern dining tables, so posture feels natural and conversation flows. A cushion of about 2 inches brings just enough softness to temper the frame’s crispness.

It’s the kind of comfort that lasts through a long lunch and the hour that follows. And because the weave allows light and air to pass, the chair stays visually calm even when the table is full.

Placement and Lifestyle

Use one at the head of the table for a quiet statement, or line several along a long dining surface for a more architectural read. The open rope pattern keeps sightlines clear, making the room feel larger and less formal. It pairs easily with wood, stone, glass, or matte metals; the language is contemporary but not severe.

In residential dining rooms, private lounges, or hospitality spaces, the Talenti Cliff Dining Armchair adds a layer of refinement that doesn’t compete with the surroundings. It plays well with textured linens and understated tableware, and it welcomes mixed finishes. When not in use, a tailored cover is available to keep everything pristine between gatherings.

Care and Longevity

Materials were chosen for lasting use and straightforward upkeep. The metal frame keeps its geometry true over time, while the braided construction maintains even tension across the back and arms. The fabric cushion is built to work, not fuss, and it can be refreshed with simple care as needed.

This is a chair meant to become part of the ritual—a reliable piece that stands up to daily use and still looks composed when the lights are low. Talenti keeps the focus on proportion, detail, and restraint, which is why the Cliff Dining Armchair feels relevant season after season. It settles in gracefully, and it stays.
