Karen Daybed

Design

Karen Daybed by Talenti brings an easy, enveloping presence to the open air. Its silhouette nods to traditional African forms, a quiet cocoon that feels protective without feeling heavy. Soft curves meet a gently elevated profile, so it sits like a nest rather than a platform. Woven threads trace the structure with a measured rhythm, adding texture and light play. Designed by Ludovica + Roberto Palomba, it keeps the line crisp and the gesture calm. Nothing shouts. Everything supports the idea of unhurried lounging.

Materials & Build

The structure is wood, selected for outdoor life and finished to honor its natural character. The look pairs beautifully with the woven detailing, which gives the piece its signature depth and shadow. Cushions are fabric, tailored with clean edges and a firm, even sit. Upholstery palettes complement the timber—think taupe, gray, or green pine—so the daybed reads cohesive from any angle. Weight is approximately 110 lb, substantial enough to feel grounded, still easy to position with two people. It is a considered, durable build without unnecessary complexity.

Comfort

Proportions do the work here. The Karen Daybed offers generous space without excess: about 70.1 inches wide by 66.9 inches deep, with an overall height near 26.8 inches. The seat sits at approximately 15.7 inches, the cushion around 8.7 inches high, so posture feels relaxed yet supported. The padding is plush where it should be, steady at the edges, and the curved back eases the shoulder line. Stretch out. Sit with a book. Share the corner. It adapts without fuss.

Placement & Lifestyle

This piece lives well on a terrace, by the pool, or under a pergola. It likes both sunlit mornings and late-night conversations. Slide it beneath a tree and it becomes a quiet retreat; place it near the water and it becomes the all-day seat. The form is inviting from all sides, which helps in open layouts. And because the character is understated, it pairs easily—with stone, with timber decks, with architectural concrete. Talenti’s Karen Daybed simply anchors the scene and lets the setting speak.

Longevity & Care

Built to stay, not just to arrive. The wooden frame gives reliable stability, while the woven elements keep their shape and intent. Use the protective cover when the season turns or during long stretches away; a cover is available to keep everything in top form. Regular light care is enough—brush off, air out, keep clear of standing water. It’s a piece designed for the long run, part of the Karen collection’s relaxed, confident approach to outdoor comfort from Talenti.
