Cruise//alu Coffee table

Design

The Talenti Cruise//alu Coffee Table brings a sharp, square silhouette to outdoor living. Clean lines, low stance, and a generous surface keep the look purposeful and calm. Designed by Ludovico Di Martino Casinos and Roberto Palomba, it avoids fuss and focuses on proportion. Nothing feels forced. It simply sits right in a space and invites use.

The geometry does the talking. The top reads as a single plane, the base as a quiet frame. Together they create an easy focal point for conversation without stealing the scene from surrounding lounge pieces.

Materials & Build

The top is Gres, a fine Italian stone material chosen for its strength and composure outdoors. It holds a crisp edge, resists wear, and keeps its finish through changing weather. There’s a tactile honesty to it—solid under glassware, steady under trays, unmoved by daily use.

Below, a die-cast structure anchors the piece. The aluminum base adds stability without bulk, so it feels substantial yet never heavy-handed. Joints are disciplined, lines stay straight, and the table settles firmly on any well-prepared surface. It reflects Talenti’s preference for engineering that disappears into the design.

Comfort & Use

Comfort in a coffee table is about access, reach, and flow. The square top gives ample space for drinks, books, or a casual spread, while the low profile keeps sightlines open across a seating group. It serves without interrupting the conversation around it.

And when the layout changes, moving it is simple. The structure is durable yet light enough to reposition as seating shifts from sun to shade or from a quiet morning to a larger gathering.

Placement & Lifestyle

This table settles naturally on terraces, verandas, and garden patios. It pairs well with deep lounge seating and modular configurations, holding its own as the hub between chairs and sofas. The look is modern but relaxed, suited to everyday rituals and weekend guests alike.

In a setting built around the Cruise//Alu collection, it completes the scene. But it also blends seamlessly with other materials and finishes. Set it against timber decking for contrast, or place it on stone for a tonal match. Either way, it doesn’t crowd the space; it frames it.

Longevity

Built for the elements, the materials stand up to season after season outside. Gres keeps its surface, aluminum resists the usual wear, and the die-cast build stays true. The table maintains its stance and finish with straightforward care.

Over time, that reliability matters. The piece remains steady, the lines stay clean, and the surface continues to perform. It’s a practical constant in an outdoor setting that changes with light, weather, and the way people gather.
