Argo//Alu Pouf

Design

The Talenti Argo//Alu Pouf brings a confident, purposeful look to outdoor lounging. Its aluminium frame is outlined by visible belts that trace the perimeter and draw the eye, giving the piece a clean graphic edge. Nothing superfluous, nothing fussy—just a strong, modern silhouette that sits well alongside sofas and loungers or stands alone with presence.

Conceived by Ludovica + Roberto Palomba, the pouf reflects their crisp design language—bold contrasts, clear volumes, and ease in everyday use. It fits naturally within the Argo//Alu family, yet it reads as its own object, which is exactly the point.

Materials & Build

An aluminium structure sets the tone: stable, precise, and ready for the outdoors. The perimeter belts are not a hidden detail; they are part of the architecture, framing the piece with intent and giving it definition from every angle.

Upholstery fabrics are engineered for open-air living. They handle sun, humidity, and routine cleaning with grace, so the surface looks composed season after season. Covers are removable, making upkeep straightforward when life (or the weather) demands it.

Comfort

Generous padding and quick-dry foam deliver easy comfort without the downtime. Sit after a passing shower, and it rebounds quickly. No soggy core, no stiffness. The cushion feels welcoming, stays supportive, and holds its shape, whether used for a quick pause or a long conversation.

Placement & Lifestyle

This is the flexible piece that finishes a setting. At the pool, on a generous patio, or on a compact city terrace, it moves seamlessly between roles. It serves as an extra seat when guests arrive and as a relaxed footrest when the evening winds down. Pair it with lounge modules from the same line for a cohesive look, or let it introduce contrast beside natural wood or stone.

The form is low and inviting, so it never overwhelms a space. It simply brings the scene together and makes it more usable. And it does so without asking for attention—until someone sits down and notices the details.

Longevity

Built for the outdoors and designed to stay relevant, the Argo//Alu Pouf balances resilience with restraint. The quick-dry core manages moisture, the outdoor fabrics keep their poise, and the removable covers make maintenance part of the routine rather than a project.

As part of Talenti’s Icon catalogue, it captures a clear design point of view while keeping daily comfort front and center. Not precious, not fragile—just a well-made piece meant to be used, season after season, without losing its edge.
