Tressé Dining armchair

Design

The Tressé dining armchair from Talenti speaks in clean lines and quiet confidence. Designed by Carlo Colombo, it pairs a slender tubular aluminum frame with a poised, architectural stance. The proportions are crisp, the silhouette light. A refined banding detail traces the curve of the back and arms, giving definition without weight. Nothing shouts; everything aligns. It looks composed at the table and relaxed on its own, which is the point. The chair doesn’t demand attention, it earns it.

Seen from the side, the geometry feels balanced and intentional. And the open frame keeps the chair visually airy, so spaces feel larger and less crowded. Subtle radiuses soften contact points, while the arm profile encourages a natural pause. It’s modern, but not severe; elegant, but usable every day.

Materials & Build

A thin, resilient aluminum structure supports the seat and back with quiet strength. It’s light in the hand yet steady under use. Eco-leather bands wrap the contours with a tailored finish, adding a measured layer of texture and tone. Upholstery options include hemp and gardenia fabrics, each chosen for a pleasing hand and surface depth. The mix is deliberate: metal for structure, bands for definition, fabric for warmth. Nothing excess, nothing left out. The result is a clear, durable build that looks refined from every angle.

Comfort

Comfort is immediate. The seat and back are cushioned with soft, plush filling that settles without sinking. Support lands where it should, so posture stays relaxed through long meals or late conversations. The arms invite an easy rest, and transitions in and out of the chair feel natural. No fussy contours, no hard edges where the body meets the frame. Just straightforward ergonomics that feel considered. The Tressé experience is simple: sit, stay, forget about the chair and enjoy the moment.

Placement & Lifestyle

Made for the outdoors, the chair handles patios, verandas, and garden settings with ease. It’s light enough to move for an extra guest, then back again when the gathering shifts. Use it for alfresco dinners, weekend brunch, or a quiet drink by the pool. In a compact city balcony, the slim frame keeps the scene uncluttered. In a larger setting, its understated profile ties a space together without overpowering the table. The Tressé by Carlo Colombo adapts to the day, the season, the company.

Longevity

Weather-ready materials make maintenance straightforward. Aluminum resists the elements, while the fabrics and eco-leather bands are selected for outdoor performance. A quick wipe-down keeps everything looking sharp; a cover in harsher conditions is always wise. Over time, the chair holds its shape and presence, staying true to its first impression. It’s a practical investment from Talenti—built to be used often, and to look good while doing so, season after season.
