Karen Living Armchair

Design

The Talenti Karen Living Armchair brings a sculpted, human touch to the room. Designed by Ludovica + Roberto Palomba, its soft geometry is the point. The curved back wraps gently around the body, then resolves into ring-like armrests that feel both graphic and welcoming. Nothing is stiff, nothing is fussy. Just a clean, organic line that reads beautifully from every angle. Nicely proportioned too: 37.4 in wide, 32.7 in deep, and 25.6 in high, with a seat height at 15.7 in for an easy, natural sit.

Materials & Build

A solid wood frame anchors the form, expressed here in natural teak for a warm, grounded presence. The cushions are fabric, with a textured weave that catches light and adds quiet depth to the silhouette. Seams follow the curve precisely, keeping the profile uninterrupted. Finishes stay considered and versatile: natural teak paired with taupe, gray, or green pine tones. The construction feels calm and assured—everything aligned, everything purposeful—so the design stays honest to the eye and reliable in daily life.

Comfort

The appeal is immediate once seated. The enveloping back supports without crowding, and the arms sit at a relaxed height for reading, scrolling, or a long conversation. The seat has substance, not bulk, with a cushion height of 8.7 in that keeps posture easy and comfortable. At 44.1 lb, the chair is substantial enough to feel steady, yet light enough to move when the space shifts. It encourages lingering. But it never overwhelms the room.

Placement & Lifestyle

The Karen Living Armchair settles gracefully into living spaces, reading corners, or a bedroom sitting area. In a pair, it frames a coffee table; solo, it becomes a quiet statement piece. The ring arm detail adds character without shouting, so it plays well with both minimal and layered interiors. Scale is generous but measured, making it a smart choice for open-plan settings and intimate nooks alike. Not stackable by design, it asks for its own moment—and gives the room one in return.

Longevity & Care

Talenti builds for lasting use, and this piece follows suit. The teak frame and quality fabric hold their form over time, with finishes that stay composed under daily wear. A tailored cover is available to keep the chair protected when the space is in flux or during longer periods of nonuse. It ships as a single piece, ready for placement. With straightforward care and thoughtful handling, the Karen Living Armchair remains a steady companion to the way people really live.
