Alabama // Alu Coffee Table

Design

The Alabama // Alu Coffee Table, designed by Marco Acerbis, brings quiet confidence to an outdoor setting. Its silhouette is low and purposeful, reading as a calm plane that anchors a lounge without crowding it. Proportions are generous enough for a tray, a book, and the inevitable second cup, yet the piece keeps a discreet profile that lets surrounding seating do the talking. It slips naturally into contemporary spaces and mixes easily with the rest of the Alabama collection for a cohesive look.

Nothing fussy here—just clean geometry and a measured stance that suits open-air living. The table’s height keeps sightlines open, which matters on a terrace or by the pool where views deserve space. It feels considered rather than decorated, and that restraint is exactly what makes it versatile.

Materials & Build

A powder-coated aluminum frame forms the structure, chosen for its balance of strength and lightness. It’s engineered to handle weather with composure, resisting the typical fatigue that comes from sun, humidity, and temperature swings. Up top, fibre cement delivers a firm, stable surface with a crisp modern character. The combination reads refined without tipping into precious, and it’s built for real use, not just looks.

At approximately 33 lb, it sits with intention yet moves when needed. Dimensions are scaled for outdoor lounging: about 43.3 inches wide, 27.6 inches deep, and 11.8 inches high. The footprint feels substantial, not bulky, and its planar top welcomes everything from morning coffee to evening tapas. Materials work together so the table feels cohesive as a single form, rather than a frame with a top dropped on.

Comfort

Comfort in a coffee table is about reach, rhythm, and the way it supports the flow of a room. This one hits the mark. The low profile pairs naturally with lounge seating, keeping essentials within easy reach without interrupting conversation. It encourages relaxed use—set things down, spread out a bit, settle in for a longer stay. The surface area is generous but not sprawling, so everything feels close at hand. And because the piece is visually calm, the space around it feels calmer too.

Placement & Lifestyle

From a city balcony to a wide garden deck, the table adapts without theatrics. It anchors a sofa and two lounge chairs as well as it floats between chaises by the pool. Style it minimally for a crisp, architectural mood, or warm it up with a lantern and a stack of paperbacks. It pairs smoothly with seating from the Alabama collection to create a continuous language across a terrace. Whether hosting an easy afternoon with friends or a quiet solo morning, it performs without drawing attention to itself—and that’s the point.

Longevity

Durability is baked into the build. The powder-coated aluminum resists the elements, while the fibre cement top stands up to daily use. An optional cover is available to shield the table when not in use, helping maintain its appearance over time. Keep it clean, keep it protected when you can, and it will reward the effort. In short, it’s a straightforward, well-made piece from Talenti that’s meant to live outdoors and continue looking sharp while it does.
