Cruise//alu Living Armchair

Design

The Cruise//alu Living Armchair brings a clean, open look to outdoor lounging. Designed by Ludovica + Roberto Palomba, its lines nod to hydrofoil profiles—sleek, purposeful, a touch sporty but never loud. The silhouette is low and confident, with a generous seat balanced by an airy back that plays with light and shadow. It feels modern without trying too hard. And it sits comfortably among mixed materials and architectural spaces.

As part of Talenti’s Cruise//alu Collection, the armchair reads as a design piece first, a lounge essential second. The rope patterning creates a quiet rhythm, the frame keeps everything grounded, and the proportions do the rest.

Materials & Build

Every element serves the outdoors. The structure is aluminum, chosen for its stability and clean geometry. It gives the chair a crisp outline and a dependable base. Around it, the backrest and armrests are hand-wrapped in synthetic nautical rope. The weave introduces texture and measured transparency, forming a strong, supportive shell without visual bulk.

Seat cushions are made from quick-dry foam and clad in weather-resistant fabric. Rain passes, the chair recovers, and the look stays composed. No excess detail, no fuss—just a precise mix of materials aligned for open-air use.

Comfort

The seat is spacious, designed to settle into rather than perch on. Quick-dry foam gives a plush first impression with consistent support beneath, so the sit feels easy hour after hour. The rope-wrapped back and arms angle to meet the body where it naturally rests, steadying the posture without stiffness. On humid afternoons or cool evenings, the fabric stays inviting and the form stays comfortable.

Placement & Lifestyle

This armchair adapts to many settings: a sunlit terrace, a poolside deck, a shaded garden corner, even a well-sized city balcony. It works as a standalone accent or as part of a larger lounge, pairing effortlessly with other pieces from the Cruise//alu Collection when a complete setting is in order. One chair invites a quiet read; two frame a small table; more turn a patio into a living room under open sky.

And when the season stretches, the look stays sharp—refined enough for a hospitality setting, relaxed enough for everyday life at home.

Longevity

The choices here are deliberate: aluminum for structure, technical rope for resilience, quick-dry foam and weather-resistant fabric for performance. Together they handle changing weather and regular use with poise. Over time, the chair holds its shape, the weave keeps its integrity, and the seat stays comfortable. It’s built to live outdoors, season after season, with simple care and steady style from Talenti.
