George Consolle

Design

The George Consolle brings the console form down to its essentials, then refines it for the open air. At approximately 63 inches long and 17.7 inches wide, with a low 21.7-inch height, it slides neatly along a wall, behind lounge seating, or beside a doorway without demanding space. Lines are clean, the stance is calm. It’s part of the George collection, designed by Ludovica + Roberto Palomba, and it shows in the quiet balance of proportions.

Nothing shouts. The piece settles into contemporary settings with ease, but it also brings clarity to mixed patios and courtyards. It looks considered, not staged.

Materials & Build

A stainless steel (inox) frame anchors the structure, giving the console steady strength and outdoor readiness. The top is the defining choice: Accoya wood for a warm, tactile note, or lava stone for a cooler, sculpted presence. Each top is inherently individual—its finish and character shaped by the material and its process—so no two consoles arrive exactly alike.

The build favors longevity over fuss. Joints are discreet, surfaces are disciplined, and the overall feel is solid in the hand. Talenti keeps the profile slim without compromising durability, which is exactly what a piece like this needs outside.

Comfort & Function

Comfort, here, is about ease. The low silhouette keeps sightlines open and makes serving, styling, or planting feel natural from a lounge chair or standing position. The footprint is generous enough for trays, lanterns, or a sculptural planter, yet restrained enough for narrow balconies and tight patios.

Stability matters on uneven terrace stones; the stainless frame provides that grounded feel. Nothing wobbly, nothing fussy—just straightforward utility with a composed look.

Placement & Lifestyle

On a small balcony, it becomes a slim landing for morning coffee. In a courtyard, it acts as a quiet stage for greenery or a drinks spread. For an outdoor dining area, the George Consolle works as an elegant sideboard, holding serveware and bottles so the table can stay clear. It pairs naturally with other pieces from the George collection, but it sits just as well alongside existing furniture.

The scale is friendly to compact spaces, yet it reads substantial enough for larger layouts. And when the season turns, a dedicated cover is available to keep it ready for the next gathering.

Longevity

Materials were chosen for real outdoor life. Stainless steel withstands weather and regular use; Accoya wood and lava stone bring resilient surfaces that age with character, not drama. The console is not stackable, which tells you the frame is fixed and built for sturdiness, not short-term storage tricks.

Weight varies by top—about 46.3 pounds with Accoya, roughly 68.3 pounds with lava stone—so it stays put in a breeze yet can be repositioned when layouts change. Designed for the Icon catalogue by Talenti, the George Consolle is made to work hard quietly and look better season after season.
