Alabama//Alu Dining Armchair

Design

The Alabama//Alu Dining Armchair from Talenti brings a clear, modern line to outdoor dining without shouting for attention. Designed by Marco Acerbis, it balances a slender profile with a grounded stance, so it looks composed around the table and effortless on its own. The mix of metal and warm wood gives it an inviting character—cool to the eye, welcoming to the touch. Proportions are thoughtfully set: about 24 inches wide and 26 inches deep, with an overall height near 33.9 inches. It reads light, but not slight. And it stacks, which keeps a terrace tidy and a host ready for the next gathering.

Materials & Build

A high-quality aluminum structure is the backbone here, chosen for its strength and natural resistance outdoors. The subtle wood detailing softens the silhouette and nods to classic patio craft without leaning into nostalgia. Seating comfort starts beneath the surface: synthetic elastic belts—engineered specifically for outdoor use—support quick-dry foam cushions, so the chair feels composed rather than rigid. The fabric covers are removable and washable, which takes the stress out of real life outside. A glass is set down, a breeze comes through, a splash hits—no issue.

There’s an easy practicality to the build. At roughly 7.7 pounds, the chair is light enough to move with one hand yet steady at the table. It stacks cleanly, so multiples don’t eat up space when the season or the layout changes. It all works the way good design should: quiet, reliable, unfussy.

Comfort

Comfort lives in the details. The seat sits at approximately 17.7 inches, a familiar dining height that welcomes long meals without a second thought. Armrests reach about 26 inches, easing posture without crowding the table edge. The belts under the cushion add a measured give, so the chair responds rather than resists. Quick-dry foam keeps its shape, offering support that doesn’t feel stiff or bouncy. And the cushion covers come off with ease, which means upkeep stays minimal and the seat stays inviting.

Placement & Lifestyle

This is an outdoor dining chair that adapts naturally. Around a generous teak table on a sunlit patio. Lined up along a slim balcony where space is careful. Flanking a poolside setting that sees as many casual coffees as late dinners. The Alabama//Alu Dining Armchair plays well in mixed settings too—aluminum picks up contemporary pieces, while the wood accent warms up stone, concrete, or woven textures. When the guest list grows, bring out the extra chairs in a minute; when the night runs long, no one feels like moving.

In the Alabama//Alu collection, the chair feels right at home with its stable geometry and quiet presence. It keeps the dining scene cohesive without being matchy, and it looks composed whether clustered or paired.

Longevity

Outdoor life asks a lot, and this design is built for it. Aluminum stands up to changing weather, the synthetic belts keep their tension, and the quick-dry cushions return to form after a brief spell of sun and air. Covers unclip for a wash, then go back on without a wrestle. For added protection between seasons or during long stretches away, an optional cover can be used to shield the frame and cushions, helping everything stay fresher, longer.

Talenti designs for daily use, not just for show. The Alabama//Alu Dining Armchair reflects that intent—durable where it counts, refined where it shows, and ready for many seasons of relaxed, comfortable dining outdoors.
