Scacco Partition

Design

The Scacco Partition by Talenti brings clear, architectural structure to open-air living. Designed by Ludovica + Roberto Palomba, it stands tall and composed, creating definition without closing the space. The signature chequered motif reads crisp from a distance and rewarding up close. It adds cadence to a terrace or garden, then quietly steps back so the setting stays light and social.

Scale is used thoughtfully here. The height offers presence and genuine utility, yet the grid keeps sightlines open. It functions as a boundary, not a wall. That balance is the point.

Materials & Build

An aluminum frame provides the backbone—rigid, clean-lined, and prepared for the outdoors. Around it, synthetic nautical ropes are expertly wrapped to draw the chequered pattern with even tension and smooth cadence. The combination is simple, but not plain. Rope adds tactile warmth to metal’s precision, and the weave gives depth without bulk. Built for exterior conditions, the composition resists weather while maintaining its form and proportion.

Comfort & Privacy

Comfort, in this case, is about ease of living. The partition creates a sense of privacy for a reading corner or lounge, but it doesn’t sever the conversation from the rest of the setting. Views filter through the grid. Air circulates. And the rope’s soft profile tempers the geometry so the piece feels welcoming, not severe. It calms a layout and quietly organizes movement around it.

Placement & Lifestyle

Use it to mark a dining zone, shore up a sunbed arrangement, or guide a pathway from house to garden. One piece can define a moment; a pair can frame an outdoor room. The Scacco Partition aligns naturally with furniture from the Scacco collection, echoing the same rhythm and material language for a cohesive look. But it also sits comfortably alongside other styles, lending structure without overpowering them.

This is the kind of element that earns its keep day after day. Morning coffee, afternoon guests, late-night air—each feels more considered with the right boundary in place.

Longevity

Made for the elements, not just near them, the aluminum-and-rope build keeps its stance season after season. The materials are chosen for stability and outdoor resilience, and the construction is measured and consistent, so the grid stays true. The Scacco Partition carries its look with minimal fuss and pairs well with evolving layouts over time. It’s a reliable piece from Talenti, designed to serve, not shout, as the setting around it changes.
