Cliff Sunbed

Design

The Cliff Sunbed takes the relaxed lines of a sofa and sets them under open sky. Its tubular frame is wrapped in braided hawsers, forming a clear, graphic silhouette with a warm, tactile edge. It sits low and confident, inviting a long pause rather than a quick perch. Designed by Ludovica + Roberto Palomba, it stands as a signature piece within the Cliff collection—recognizable from a distance, even better up close.

Materials & Build

A robust metal frame provides the backbone, while the hand-braided hawsers give the structure character and grip. The weave is executed with crisp precision, creating consistent tension and a clean rhythm along the profile. Cushions are finished in outdoor fabric that feels pleasant to the touch yet works hard in real conditions. The braided composition and careful assembly speak to durability; the structure is engineered to handle the elements without drama. Packaging comes as a single piece, ready to place.

Comfort

The profile echoes a generous sofa seat, with a soft, supportive cushion that settles the body without sinking. Proportions are purposeful: approximately 35.4 inches wide by 78.7 inches deep by 16.5 inches high, with a cushion height around 14.2 inches. The surface feels open and easy, whether stretched out fully or propped with a book. It’s the kind of comfort that encourages an extra hour. Or two.

Placement & Lifestyle

Poolside, on a terrace, or along a quiet garden wall, the Cliff Sunbed blends into both contemporary and classic settings. It brings texture to clean architecture and a refined outline to lusher spaces. On a rooftop, it reads sculptural; by the water, it feels effortless. A protective cover is available for daily ease. It doesn’t stack, which keeps the silhouette intact and the seat ready whenever the sun breaks. Featured in the Icon catalogue, it suits spaces that value design with presence, not noise.

Longevity

Materials and method do the work here. The metal frame is steady; the braided hawsers hold form season after season; the fabric cushions are made for outdoor life and simple upkeep. Use the cover when the weather turns, brush off debris, and rotate cushions now and then. At roughly 53 pounds, it stays put without feeling immovable. The result is straightforward: a piece that looks composed on day one and remains so after many summers—Talenti quality, delivered with restraint and purpose in the Cliff Sunbed.
