Swipe Dining chair

Design

The Swipe Dining Chair With Armrests brings a clear sense of movement to an outdoor setting. The padded rope traces the backrest and arms, creating a graphic rhythm that feels light yet intentional. Designed by Ludovica + Roberto Palomba, the silhouette is clean, modern, and easy on the eye. Proportions are well-judged for dining: about 24.4 inches wide and 23.2 inches deep, with an overall height just under 30 inches. It looks composed at a table, but never stiff. And the pattern catches the light nicely without shouting for attention.

Materials & Build

A metal frame anchors the form, while the rope detailing adds texture and a tactile edge. The structure reads solid, the touch points feel considered. Steel and rope work together here—one for strength, the other for visual lightness and grip—finished with fabric cushions that stand up to outdoor life. At roughly 11 lb, the chair moves easily when layouts change, yet sits with reassuring stability.

This is part of Talenti’s Swipe collection, and it shows in the careful junctions and clean joins. No fuss, no excess. Just a straightforward build that supports the design intent.

Comfort

Comfort is immediate. The ergonomic curve of the back provides steady support, while the armrests, at about 28.4 inches high, offer a natural rest point. The seat height lands at approximately 18.1 inches—right in the dining sweet spot—finished with a cushion around 2.4 inches thick for a balanced, not-too-soft sit. The rope along the arms has just enough give to feel pleasant under the hand. Stay for a long lunch, or a late night. It holds you well either way.

Placement & Lifestyle

Made for open air—patios, garden terraces, poolside dining—yet composed enough for covered porches and sunrooms. The palette leans refined and versatile: white and warm white for a fresh read, graphite and mouse gray for a grounded tone, true navy for a quiet statement. Pair two at a bistro table or line up six around a stone or teak surface. It is not stackable, so treat it as a considered piece rather than a utility chair. When the table is cleared, it still looks right on its own.

Longevity

Talenti builds for outdoor use, and it shows in the materials and finishes chosen for the Swipe Dining Chair With Armrests. The rope is made to endure the elements, the frame resists everyday wear, and the cushions hold shape and comfort. A tailored cover is available for added protection between seasons. Use it with confidence—dine, host, move it as needed—then cover when the weather turns. The character remains, season after season.
